A certain kind of glass has an index of refraction of 1.640 for blue light of wavelength 440 nm and an index of 1.595 for red li

ght of wavelength 670 nm. If a beam containing these two colors is incident at an angle of 30.0° on a piece of this glass, what is the angle between the two beams inside the glass?

Answer: 18.27°

Explanation:

Given

Index of refraction of blue light, n(b) = 1.64

Wavelength of blue light, λ(b) = 440 nm

Index of refraction of red light, n(r) = 1.595

Wavelength of red light, λ(r) = 670 nm

Angle of incident, θ = 30°

Angle of refraction of red light is

θ(r) = sin^-1 [(n(a)* sin θ) / n(r)], where n(a) = index of refraction of air = 1

So that,

θ(r) = sin^-1 [(1 * sin 30) / 1.595]

θ(r) = sin^-1 (0.5 / 1.595)

θ(r) = sin^-1 0.3135

θ(r) = 18.27°

Rashid [163]

Answer:

f₂ = 468.67 Hz

Explanation:

A beat is a sudden increase and decrease of sound. The beats are produced through the interference of two sound waves of slightly different frequencies. Now we have the following data:

The higher frequency tone = f₁ = 470 Hz

No. of beats = n = 4 beats

Time period = t = 3 s

The lower frequency note = Frequency of Friend's Trombone = f₂ = ?

Beat Frequency = fb

So, the formula for beats per second or beat frequency is given as:

fb = n/t

fb = 4 beats/ 3 s

fb = 1.33 Hz

Another formula for beat frequency is:

fb = f₁ - f₂

f₂ =  f₁ - fb

f₂ = 470 Hz - 1.33 Hz

<u>f₂ = 468.67 Hz</u>

zzz [600]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

Sunspots are the spot that appears on the sun, this spot appears darker than the surrounding surface of the sun.

Sun magnetic field goes through a cycle and this cycle is called the Sunspot cycle. Every 11 years the magnetic field of the sun completely flips. This sunspot cycle affects activity on the surface of the sun.

Sunspot cycle is the pattern of solar activity where an average number of sunspot gradually increase and decrease.

Hence, the correct answer is option D
