The deflection angle is 37.29º if the prism was made of polystyrene plastic.

What is a laser beam?

Laser beam is a light beam propagating dominantly in one direction.

It is a beam of radiation produced from a laser.

Here given that,

refraction index of glass, n1= 1.52

refraction index of polystyrene plastic, n2 = 1.59

deflection angle, B = 22.6º

For the second surface,

B  = 45º - 22.6º

B  = 22.40º

Now from the formula of Snell's law:

n1 sinФ = n2 sin B

sin B / sinФ = n1 / n2

sinФ = (sin 22.40º) * ( 1/ 1.59)

Ф = 37.29º

Hence,

The deflection angle is 37.29º if the prism was made of polystyrene plastic.

Resonance occurs when an object vibrating at or near the resonant frequency of a second object to vibrate. What form of waves ar
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Resonance depends on objects, this may happen for example when you play guitar in a given room, you may find that for some notes the walls or some object vibrate more than for others. This is because those notes are near the frequency of resonance of the walls.

So waves involved are waves that can move or affect objects (in this case the pressure waves of the sound, and the waves that are moving the wall).

this means that the waves are mechanic waves.

Now, in electromagnetics, you also can find resonance frequencies for electromagnetic waves trapped in things called cavities, but this is a different topic.

An electron is moving east in a uniform electric field of 1.47 {\rm N/C} directed to the west. At point A, the velocity of the e
zimovet [89]

Answer:

a) v = 6.25\times 10^{5} m/s

b) v = 1.73\times 10^{4} m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Electric field = 1.47 N/C

velocity of electron is 4.55\times 10^5 m/s

distance of point b from point A is 0.55 m

we know that acceleration of particle is given as

a) for electron

a =\frac{q E}{m}

a = \frac{1.6\times 10^{-19} \times 1.47}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a = 2.58\times 10^{11} m/s^2

from equation of motion we have

v^2 = u^2 + 2aS

      = 20.7025 \times 10^{10} + 2\times 2.58\times 10^{11} \times 0.355

v = 6.25\times 10^{5} m/s

b) for proton

a = \frac{1.6\times 10^{-19} \times -1.47}{1.6\times 10^{-27}}

a = -1.41\times 10^{8} m/s^2

from equation of motion we have

v^2 = u^2 + 2aS

       = 3.8025 \times 10^{8} - 2\times 1.41\times 10^{8} \times 0.355

v = 1.73\times 10^{4} m/s

How long will it take a 2190 W motor to lift a 1.47 x 104 g box, 6.34 x 104 mm vertically.​
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

4.2s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power = 2190W

Mass of box = 1.47 x 10⁴g

distance  = 6.34 x 10⁴mm

Unknown:

Time  = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is done;

 Mathematically;

        Power  = \frac{work done}{time}  

   Time  = \frac{work done}{power}  

 Work done  = weight x height

 convert mass to kg;

     100g = 1kg;

           1.47 x 10⁴g  = 14.7kg

convert the height to m;

          1000mm = 1m

          6.34 x 10⁴mm gives 63.4m

  Work done  = 14.7 x 9.8 x 63.4 = 9133.4J

  Time taken = \frac{9133.4}{2190}   = 4.2s

What is the density (in kg/m3) of a woman who floats in freshwater with 4.92% of her volume above the surface
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The density of the woman is 950.8 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given;

fraction of the woman's volume above the surface = 4.92%

then, fraction of the woman's volume below the surface = 100 - 4.92% = 95.08%

the specific gravity of the woman = \frac{95.08}{100 } = 0.9508

The density of the woman is calculate as;

Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman = \frac{Density \ of \ the \ woman }{Density \ of \ fresh \ water }\\\\ Density \ of \ the \ woman  = Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman \ \times \ Density \ of \ fresh \ water

Density of fresh water = 1000 kg/m³

Density of the woman = 0.9508 x 1000 kg/m³

Density of the woman = 950.8 kg/m³

Therefore, the density of the woman is 950.8 kg/m³

How much energy (in kilojoules) is required to convert 200 mL of diethyl ether at its boiling point from liquid to vapor if its
LiRa [457]

Answer:

55.96kJ

Explanation:

Energy = mass of diethyl ether × enthalpy of vaporization of diethyl ether

Volume (v) = 200mL, density (d) = 0.7138g/mL

Mass = d × v = 0.7138 × 200 = 142.76g

Enthalpy of vaporization of diethyl ether = 29kJ/mol

MW of diethyl ether (C2H5)2O = 74g/mol

Enthalpy in kJ/g = 29kJ/mol ÷ 74g/mol = 0.392kJ/g

Energy = 142.76g × 0.392kJ/g = 55.96kJ
