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.

g (12 points) The time between incoming phone calls at a call center is a random variable with exponential density p(x) = 1 r e
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

(1)p(x)\geq 0\\(2)\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x) dx=0

Explanation:

A function f(x) is a Probability Density Function if it satisfies the following conditions:

(1)f(x)\geq 0\\(2)\int_{0}^{\infty} f(x) dx=0

Given the function:

p(x)=\dfrac{1}{r}e^{-x/r} \: on\: [0,\infty), where\:r=\dfrac{20}{ln(2)}

(1)p(x) is greater than zero since the range of exponents of the Euler's number will lie in [0,\infty).

(2)

\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x)=\int_{0}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{r}e^{-x/r}\\=\dfrac{1}{r} \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x/r}\\=-\dfrac{r}{r}\left[e^{-x/r}\right]_{0}^{\infty}\\=-\left[e^{-\infty/r}-e^{-0/r}\right]\\=-e^{-\infty}+e^{-0}\\SInce \: e^{-\infty} \rightarrow 0\\e^{-0}=1\\\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x)=1

The function p(x) satisfies the conditions for a probability density function.

Can you walk on the moon
morpeh [17]
You can. But the gravity on the moon is 1/6th the gravity on Earth. This means 300 lbs man would only weigh 50 lbs.

A sealed container holding 0.0255 L of an ideal gas at 0.981 atm and 65 ∘ C is placed into a refrigerator and cooled to 41 ∘ C w
user100 [1]

Answer:

0.911 atm

Explanation:

In this problem, there is no change in volume of the gas, since the container is sealed.

Therefore, we can apply Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically:

p\propto T

where

p is the gas pressure

T is the absolute temperature

For a gas undergoing a transformation, the law can be rewritten as:

\frac{p_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2}{T_2}

where in this problem:

p_1=0.981 atm is the initial pressure of the gas

T_1=65^{\circ}+273=338 K is the initial absolute temperature of the gas

T_2=41^{\circ}+273=314 K is the final temperature of the gas

Solving for p2, we find the final pressure of the gas:

p_2=\frac{p_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(0.981)(314)}{338}=0.911 atm

The force on the spring is F0 and it stores elastic potential energy PEs0. If the spring displacement is tripled to 3x0, determi
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let initial extension in the spring= x₀

Force on the spring = F₀

Let spring constant = k

Fo = k x₀

Fn = 3k x₀

Fn /Fo = 3

PEs0 ( ORIGINAL)  =1/2 k x₀²

PEsn ( NEW)  =1/2 k (3x₀)²

PEsn / PEs0 = 9
