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°.

An open diving chamber rests on the ocean floor at a water depth of 60 meter. Find the air pressure (gage pressure relative to t
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Gauge Pressure required = 606.258 kPa

Explanation:

Water will not enter the chamber if the pressure of air in it equals that of the water which tries to enter it.

Thus at a depth of 60m we have pressure of water equals

P(z)=P_{0}+\rho _wgh

Now the gauge pressure is given by

P(z)-P_{0}=\rho _wgh

Applying values we get

P(z)-P_{0}=\rho _wgh\\\\P_{gauge}=1.03\times 1000\times 9.81\times 60Pa\\\\P_{gauge}=606258Pascals\\\\P_{gauge}=606.258kPa

If a 100 N net force acts on a 50 kg car, what will the acceleration of the car will be?
Allushta [10]
According to newton's law Force = mass * acceleration
so , 100 = 50 * a
so , a= 2 m/s^2
