In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 570 travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 16.5 . When a slab of g
aliina [53]

Answer:

Wavelength is calculated as 213.9 nm

Solution:

As per the question:

Wavelength of light = 570 nm

Time, t = 16.5 ns

Thickness of glass slab, d = 0.865 ns

Time taken to travel from laser to the photocell, t' = 21.3

Speed of light in vacuum, c = 3\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Now,

To calculate the wavelength of light inside the glass:

After the insertion of the glass slab into the beam, the extra time taken by light to cover a thickness t = 0.865 m is:

t' - t = 21.3 - 16.5 = 4.8 ns

Thus

\frac{d}{\frac{c}{n}} - \frac{d}{v} = 4.8\times 10^{- 9}

\frac{0.8656}{\frac{c}{n}} - \frac{0.865}{v} = 4.8\times 10^{- 9}

where

n = refractive index of the medium

v = speed of light in medium

\frac{0.8656}{\frac{c}{n}} - \frac{0.865}{v} = 4.8\times 10^{- 9}

n = \frac{4.8\times 10^{- 9}\times 3.00\times 10^{8}}{0.865} + 1

n = 2.66

Now,

The wavelength in the glass:

\lambda' = \frac{\lambda }{n}

\lambda' = \frac{570}{2.66} = 213.9\ nm

A ball is thrown from the top of one building toward a tall building 50 m away. The initial velocity of the ball is 20 m/s at 40
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Ball hit the tall building 50 m away below 10.20 m its original level

Explanation:

Horizontal speed = 20 cos40 = 15.32 m/s

Horizontal displacement = 50 m

Horizontal acceleration = 0 m/s²

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

    50 = 15.32 t + 0.5 x 0 x t²

     t = 3.26 s

Now we need to find how much vertical distance ball travels in 3.26 s.

Initial vertical speed  = 20 sin40 = 12.86 m/s

Time = 3.26 s

Vertical acceleration = -9.81 m/s²

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

    s = 12.86 x 3.26 + 0.5 x -9.81 x 3.26²

    s = -10.20 m

So ball hit the tall building 50 m away below 10.20 m its original level
