Dispersion angle = 0.3875 degrees. 
Width at bottom of block = 0.09297 cm 
Thickness of rainbow = 0.07038 cm 
 Snell's law provides the formula that describes the refraction of light. It is:
 n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
 where
 n1, n2 = indexes of refraction for the different mediums
 Î¸1, θ2 = angle of incident rays as measured from the normal to the surface. 
 Solving for θ2, we get
 n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
 n1*sin(θ1)/n2 = sin(θ2)
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2 
 The index of refraction for air is 1.00029, So let's first calculate the angles of the red and violet rays.
 Red:
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.641) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.641) = θ2
 asin(0.398299876) = θ2
 23.47193844 = θ2 
 Violet:
 asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.667) = θ2
 asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.667) = θ2
 asin(0.39208764) = θ2
 23.08446098 = θ2 
 So the dispersion angle is:
 23.47193844 - 23.08446098 = 0.38747746 degrees. 
 Now to determine the width of the beam at the bottom of the glass block, we need to calculate the difference in the length of the opposite side of two right triangles. Both triangles will have a height of 11.6 cm and one of them will have an angle of 23.47193844 degrees, while the other will have an angle of 23.08446098 degrees. The idea trig function to use will be tangent, where
 tan(θ) = X/11.6
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 So for Red:
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 11.6*tan(23.47193844) = X
 11.6*0.434230136 = X
 5.037069579 = X 
 And violet:
 11.6*tan(θ) = X
 11.6*tan(23.08446098) = X
 11.6*0.426215635 = X
 4.944101361 = X 
 So the width as measured from the bottom of the block is: 5.037069579 cm - 4.944101361 cm = 0.092968218 cm 
 The actual width of the beam after it exits the flint glass block will be thinner. The beam will exit at an angle of 40.80 degrees and we need to calculate the length of the sides of a 40.80/49.20/90 right triangle. If you draw the beams, you'll realize that:
 cos(θ) = X/0.092968218
 0.092968218*cos(θ) = X 
 0.092968218*cos(40.80) = X
 0.092968218*0.756995056 = X
 0.070376481 = X 
 So the distance between the red and violet rays is 0.07038 cm.

3.00 m^3 of water is at 20.0°C.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

9m^3

Explanation:

Given data

volume  v1=  3m^3

volume  v2=  ???

Temperature T1= 20.0°C.

Temperature T2= 60.0°C.

Applying the relation for temperature and volume

V1/T1= V2/T2

substitute

3/20= V2/60

3*60= V2*20

180= 20*V2

180/20= V2

V2= 9m^3

Hence the final volume is 9m^3

A simple dipole consists of two charges with the same magnitude, q, but opposite sign separated by a distance d. The EDM (electr
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

a. dW = ∫pEsinθdθ  b. W = p.E

Explanation:

a. We know torque τ = p × E = pEsinθ where θ is the angle between p and E

Let the torque τ rotate the dipole by an amount dθ. So, the workdone dW = ∫τdθ = ∫pEsinθdθ

b. So, the total work done is gotten by integrating from 90 to θ. So,

W = ∫₉₀⁰dW

= ∫₉₀⁰pEsinθdθ

= pE∫₉₀⁰sinθdθ

= pE(cosθ - cos90)

=pEcosθ

= p.E

Which one of the following scenarios accurately describes a condition in which resonance can occur? A. A column of air has a hei
Butoxors [25]
The correct option is B.
Resonance is said to occur when one object which is vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces the second object into vibrational motion. When resonance is achieved a big loud voice is usually heard. Resonance generally requires three conditions to occur:
1. An object that has a natural frequency.
2. A force that is functioning at the same frequency as the natural frequency.
3. Prevention of energy loss.
