When passing from a low index of refraction medium to a high index of refraction medium which way does the refracted ray bend: t

oward the normal or away? Explain.
Physics
1 answer:
Vaselesa [24]4 years ago

Answer:

toward the normal

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

Light travels at a slower speed in water as compared to air because there are more number of interfering molecules in the path of the light in case of water as compared to liquid.  

When a light travels from lower denser medium say water to higher denser medium say water, it bends towards the perpendicular (normal) as its speed reduces in that medium.

A point charge q is located at the center of a spherical shell of radius a that has a charge −q uniformly distributed on its sur
muminat

Answer:

a) E = 0

b) E =  \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }

Explanation:

The electric field for all points outside the spherical shell is given as follows;

a) \phi_E = \oint E \cdot  dA =  \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}

From which we have;

E \cdot  A =  \dfrac{{\Sigma Q}}{\varepsilon _{0}} = \dfrac{+q + (-q)}{\varepsilon _{0}}  = \dfrac{0}{\varepsilon _{0}} = 0

E = 0/A = 0

E = 0

b) \phi_E = \oint E \cdot  dA =  \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}

E \cdot  A  = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0}}

E  = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot A} = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot 4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2}

By Gauss theorem, we have;

E\oint dS =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}

Therefore, we get;

E \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}

The electrical field outside the spherical shell

E =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) }= \dfrac{q}{4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} \cdot r^2 }=  \dfrac{q}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} )\cdot r^2 }

k_e=  \dfrac{1}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} ) }

Therefore, we have;

E =  \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Reaction force of the ground

R = mg

= 160 N

Maximum friction force possible

= μ x R

= μ x 160

= .4 x 160

= 64 N .

b )

 160 N will act at middle point . 740N will act at distance of 3 / 5 m from the wall ,

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3/5 + f x 4 = 900 x 3

240 + 444 + 4f = 2700

f = 504 N

c )

Let x be the required distance.  

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3 x / 5 + .4 x 900 x 4  = 900 x 3  ( .4 x 900 is the maximum friction possible )

240 + 444 x + 1440  = 2700

x = 2.3  m

so man can go upto 2.3 at which maximum friction acts .

(a) a light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.15 m/s2. how long does it take it to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h
snow_lady [41]
A = 1.15m/s2, Vf = 80.0km/h --> we need it in m/s, so:
Vf = 80km/h × 1000m/1km × 1h/3600s
= 22.22m/s
Top speed = Vf, initial speed = Vi
time (t) = V(Vf-Vi) ÷ a
t = (22.22-0)m/s ÷ 1.15m/s2
t = 22.22m/s × s2/1.15m
= 19.32 seconds

What is the force of gravity between two 3.0 kg masses 1.0 m apart?
gavmur [86]

m₁ = mass of the first object = 3.0 kg

m₂ = mass of the second object = 3.0 kg

r = distance between the first and second object = 1.0 m

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²

F = force of gravity between the two objects = ?

according to law of gravitation, force of attraction "F" between two objects m₁ and m₂, placed distance "r" apart is given as

F = G m₁ m₂/r²

inserting the values

F = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹) (3.0) (3.0)/(1.0)²

F = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹) (9.0)

F = 60.03 x 10⁻¹¹ N

F = 6.003 x 10⁻¹⁰ N
