Inside a material with an index of refraction not equal to 1, both the speed and the wavelength of light must change. The wavelength of light is shorter in water than in air.

The light's frequency doesn't change. The incident light deviates due to variations in light's speed and wavelength. When light moves from a rare to a denser medium, its speed and wavelength are reduced.

Speed of light is given by ;

λf = c

where, λ = wavelength

            f = frequency

            c = speed of light

f = c / λ

λ = c / f

Since energy doesn't change when light travels from air to water, so does its frequency. However, when light travels faster, its wavelength gets shorter. Thus, the wavelength of light is less in water than in air even though its frequency is the same when it travels from air to water.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

speed of electrons = 3.25 × 10^{7} m/s

acceleration in term g is 3.9 × 10^{17} g.

radius of circular orbit is 2.76 × 10^{-4} m

Explanation:

given data

voltage = 3 kV

magnetic field = 0.66 T

solution

law of conservation of energy

PE = KE

qV = 0.5 × m × v²

v = \sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\times 3}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

v = 3.25 × 10^{7} m/s

and

magnetic force on particle movie in magnetic field

F = Bqv

ma = Bqv

a = \frac{Bqv}{m}  

a =  \frac{0.67\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3.25\times 10^7}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a = 3.82 × 10^{18} m/s²

and acceleration in term g

a = \frac{3.82\times 10^{18}}{9.81}  

a = 3.9 × 10^{17} g

acceleration in term g is 3.9 × 10^{17} g.

and

electron moving in circular orbit has centripetal force

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}  

Bqv = \frac{mv^2}{r}  

r = \frac{mv}{Bq}  

r = \frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.25\times 10^7}{0.67\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}  

r = 2.76 × 10^{-4} m

radius of circular orbit is 2.76 × 10^{-4} m

Two mirrors are touching so they have an angle of 35.4 degrees with one another. A light ray is incident on the first at an angl
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

54.6°

Explanation:

From law of reflection i=r.

So, construct the reflected ray at 55.7°degrees from the normal and let it fall on the other mirror.  

Now draw the second normal at the point of incidence and again measure the angle of incidence, and draw the angle of reflection.

If you consider triangle AOB, one angle is ∠AOB=90°

 and ∠OAB is 54.6°

 

From angle sum property third angle ie ∠ABO=180°-90°-54.6°=35.4°

 

So, the second incident angle will be 54.6°

Hence, the second reflected angle will be 54.6 degrees.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

0.075A

Explanation:

We can consider this system as a circuit, hence we can take the current from the formula for the electric power as follow

P=IV\\I=\frac{P}{V}=\frac{110V}{1450W}=0.075A

I hope this is useful for you

A runner first runs a displacement A of 3.20 km due south, and then a second displacement B that points due east. (a) The magnit
Doss [256]

Answer: 4,438.96m

Explanation:

(kindly find attachment below)

From the attachment below, it can be seen that the resultant displacement and the other 2 displacements form a right angle triangle, with A+B as the hypotenus, 3.2km as the opposite and the displacement B as the adjacent.

By using phythagoras theorem

H² = O² + A²

(5.38)² = (3.20)² + B²

28.944 = 10.24 + B²

B² = 28.944 - 10.24

B² = 18.7044

B = √18.7044

B = 4.439km to meter is 4.439 * 1000 = 4,438. 96m
