A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g

lass prism perpendicular to one face and then refracts through the hypotenuse back into the air. The angle between these two faces is 37 ∘.

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

n_{r}=1.572

n_{b}=1.587

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}

Put the value into the formula

1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}

\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})

\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}

Put the value into the formula

1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}

\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})

\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0

\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

From a lake, water is pumped at a rate of 67 L/s to a storage tank positioned 14 m above while consuming 16.4 kW of electrical p
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

57 %

Explanation:

input power = 16.4 kW = 16.4 x 10^3 W = 16400 W

Water pumped per second = 67 L/s

Mass of water pumped per second, m = Volume of water pumped epr second x density of water

m = 67 x 10^-3 x 1000 = 67 kg/s

height raised, h = 14 m

Output Power = m x g x h / t = 67 x 10 x 14 = 9380 W

efficiency = output power / input power = 9380 / 16400 = 0.57

% efficiency = 57 %

thus, the efficiency of the pump is 57 %.

A stoplight with weight 100 N is suspended at the midpoint of a cable strung between two posts 200 m apart. The attach points fo
Tasya [4]

There are 3 forces acting on the stoplight:

• its weight <em>W</em>, with magnitude <em>W</em> = 100 N, pointing directly downward

• two tension forces <em>T</em>₁ and <em>T</em>₂ with equal magnitude <em>T</em>₁ = <em>T</em>₂ = <em>T</em> = 1000 N, both making an angle of <em>θ</em> with the horizontal, but one points left and the other points right

The stoplight is in equilibrium, so by Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on it is 0, such that

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>T</em>₁ sin(<em>θ</em>) + <em>T</em>₂ sin(180° - <em>θ</em>) - <em>W</em> = 0

We have sin(180° - <em>θ</em>) = sin(<em>θ</em>) for all <em>θ</em>, so the above reduces to

2<em>T</em> sin(<em>θ</em>) = <em>W</em>

2 (1000 N) sin(<em>θ</em>) = 100 N

sin(<em>θ</em>) = 0.05

<em>θ</em> ≈ 2.87°

If <em>y</em> is the vertical distance between the stoplight and the ground, then

tan(<em>θ</em>) = (15 m - <em>y</em>) / (100 m)

Solve for <em>y</em> :

tan(2.87°) = (15 m - <em>y</em>) / (100 m)

<em>y</em> = 15 m - (100 m) tan(2.87°)

<em>y</em> ≈ 9.99 m
