The tool used to gauge atmospheric pressure is a barometer. Concerning the device used to gauge air pressure, we have been questioned.

  • Mercury is used in barometers. A reservoir of mercury is compressed by atmospheric pressure, and depending on the force of the air, the mercury is propelled up into the tube to a specific height. A straightforward barometer consists of a long glass tube that is filled with mercury and is closed at one end and open at the other. As most cases, the air pressure is expressed in mm Hg.
  • By delivering quick, precise information on a range of metrics, Radiometer's products and solutions aid in the diagnosis and treatment of critically ill hospital patients.
  • A hygrometer is a device that gauges the moisture content of soil, air, or restricted spaces. Measurements of other quantities, such as temperature, pressure, mass, or a mechanical or electrical change in a substance as moisture is absorbed, are typically used as the basis for humidity measurement systems.
  • Voltmeters are used to measure voltages, while thermometers measure temperature.

Problem One: A beam of red light (656 nm) enters from air into the side of a glass and then into water. wavelength, c. and speed
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Part a)

f_w = f_g = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz

Part b)

\lambda_w = 492 nm

\lambda_g = 437.3 nm

Part c)

v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s

v_g = 2.0 \times 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

frequency of light will not change with change in medium but it will depend on the source only

so here frequency of light will remain same in both water and glass and it will be same as that in air

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{656 \times 10^{-9}}

f = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz

Part b)

As we know that the refractive index of water is given as

\mu_w = 4/3

so the wavelength in the water medium is given as

\lambda_w = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_w}

\lambda_w = \frac{656 nm}{4/3}

\lambda_w = 492 nm

Similarly the refractive index of glass is given as

\mu_w = 3/2

so the wavelength in the glass medium is given as

\lambda_g = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_g}

\lambda_g = \frac{656 nm}{3/2}

\lambda_g = 437.3 nm

Part c)

Speed of the wave in water is given as

v_w = \frac{c}{\mu_w}

v_w = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{4/3}

v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s

Speed of the wave in glass is given as

v_g = \frac{c}{\mu_g}

v_g = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{3/2}

v_g = 2 \times 10^8 m/s

Use appropriate units and significant figures.  USE THE LAW OF COSINES AND LAW OF SINES.
N76 [4]

Answer:

The resultant velocity is 86.1 mi/h.    

Explanation:

The law of cosines is given by:

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2abcos(\theta)

Where:

c: is the resultant velocity =?

a: is the velocity of the plane = 75.0 mi/h

b: is the velocity of the wind = 15.0 mi/h  

θ: is the angle between "a" and "b"                          

The angle between "a" and "b" can be found as follows:

\theta = 180.0 - 46.0 = 134.0 ^{\circ}

Now, by using the law of cosines we have:

c^{2} = (75.0)^{2} + (15.0)^{2} - 2*75.0*15.0*cos(134.0) = 7413.0

c = 86.1 mi/h    

Therefore, the resultant velocity is 86.1 mi/h.    

The law of sines is:

\frac{a}{sin(\gamma)} = \frac{b}{sin(\alpha)} = \frac{c}{sin(\theta)}

Where:

γ: is the angle between "b" and "c"

α: is the angle between "a" and "c"

So, if we want to find "c" by using the law of sines, we need to know another angle besides θ (γ or α), and the statement does not give us.

I hope it helps you!

Standing on a mountain, you look towards another mountain 6.00 km away, on which there are two persons standing 1.00 meter apart
allsm [11]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

We shall solve this problem by calculating the resolving power of eye for given wavelength

Resolving Power of eye = \frac{1.22\lambda }{D}

Where λ is wave length of light and D is diameter of eye.

λ is 600 nm and D is 3.5 mm . Put these values in the given formula

Resolving Power = \frac{1.22\times 600\times 10^{-9} }{3.5\times 10^{-3}}\\

=209.14 \times 10^{-6}radian

From the formula

Φ = \frac{L}{D}[/tex]

Where Ф is resolving power . If L be distance between two points that can be resolved at distance D. D is 6 km or 6000 m .

209.14  \times 10^{-6}=\frac{L}{6000}\\

L= 1.254 m

So minimum distance that can be resolved is 1.254 m.
