11. Why do dark surfaces absorb radiation better than light surfaces?

When an electromagnetic wave hits a surface the photons transmit part of the energy to the molecules of the surface. When parts of the electromagnetic waves are reflected depending on the wavelength that is reflected our eyes perceive the object as having a lighter or darker color. The more wavelengths are reflected the lighter the color of the object will be. The more wavelengths are absorbed the darker the object will appear to be. Therefore, those materials that absorb more wavelengths will be dark and those that absorb fewer wavelengths will appear lighter.

A 0.405 kg mass is attached to a spring with a force constant of 26.3 N/m and released from rest a distance of 3.31 cm from the
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

0.231 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass attached to the spring = 0.405 kg

k = spring constant of spring = 26.3 N/m

x₀ = initial position = 3.31 cm = 0.0331 m

x = final position = (0.5) x₀ = (0.5) (0.0331) = 0.01655 m

v₀ = initial speed = 0 m/s

v = final speed = ?

Using conservation of energy

Initial kinetic energy + initial spring energy = Final kinetic energy + final spring energy

(0.5) m v₀² + (0.5) k x₀² = (0.5) m v² + (0.5) k x²

m v₀² + k x₀² = m v² + k x²

(0.405) (0)² + (26.3) (0.0331)² = (0.405) v² + (26.3) (0.01655)²

v = 0.231 m/s

If the distance between slits on a diffraction grating is 0.50 mm and one of the angles of diffraction is 0.25°, how large is th
Trava [24]

Answer:

-  path differnce = 2.18*10^-6

-  1538 lines

Explanation:

- The path difference for the waves that produce the pattern of diffraction, is given by the following formula:

path\ difference\ = dsin\theta           (1)

d: separation between slits = 0.50mm = 0.50*10^-3 m

θ: angle of a diffraction = 0.25°

Then, the path difference is:

path\ difference\ =(0.50*10^{-3}m)sin(0.25\°)=2.18*10^{-6}m

- The maximum number of bright lines are calculated by using the following formula:

m\lambda = dsin\theta           (2)

m: order of the bright

λ: wavelength = 650nm

The maximum bright is calculated for an angle of 90°:

m=\frac{(0.50*10^{-3}m)sin90\°}{650*10^{-9}m} \approx 769

The maxium number of bright lines are twice the previous result, that is, 1538 lines
