Answer:

Normal force, F = 127 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the television, m = 13 kg

It is sitting on the shelf. We have to find the normal force acting on it. The forces acting on it are normal force and its weight. So, the normal force is given by :

F = mg

g = acceleration due to gravity

$N=13\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2$

F = 127.4 Newton

F = 127 N

Hence, the normal force acting on the television is 127 N

In the two-slit experiment, monochromatic light of frequency 5.00 × 1014 Hz passes through a pair of slits separated by 2.20 × 1

asambeis [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of monochromatic light, $f=5\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

Separation between slits, $d=2.2\times 10^{-5}\ m$

(a) The condition for maxima is given by :

$d\ sin\theta=n\lambda$

For third maxima,

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{n\lambda}{d})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{nc}{fd})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{3\times 3\times 10^8\ m/s}{5\times 10^{14}\ Hz\times 2.2\times 10^{-5}\ m})$

$\theta=4.69^{\circ}$

(b) For second dark fringe, n = 2

$d\ sin\theta=(n+1/2)\lambda$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5\lambda}{2d})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5c}{2df})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5\times 3\times 10^8}{2\times 2.2\times 10^{-5}\times 5\times 10^{14}})$

$\theta=3.90^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Find the speed of light in each of the following materials. (a) gallium phosphide m/s (b) carbon disulfide m/s (c) benzene

Oksanka [162]

Explanation:

We need to calculate the speed of light in each materials

(I). Gallium phosphide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 3.50

Using formula of speed of light

$v=\dfrac{c}{\mu}$ ....(I)

Where, $\mu$ = index of refraction

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{3.50}$

$v=8.6\times10^{7}\ m/s$

(II) Carbon disulfide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.63

Put the value in the equation (I)

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.63}$

$v=1.8\times10^{8}\ m/s$

(III). Benzene,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.50

Put the value in the equation (I)

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.50}$

$v=2\times10^{8}\ m/s$

Hence, This is the required solution.
