Upper section of the lithosphere

2 answers:

8 0

The lithosphere is the solid outer section of Earth, which includes Earth's crust (the "skin" of rock on the outer layer of planet Earth), as well as the underlying cool, dense, and rigid upper part of the upper mantle. The lithosphere extends from the surface of Earth to a depth of about 44–62 mi (70–100 km).

Problem One: A beam of red light (656 nm) enters from air into the side of a glass and then into water. wavelength, c. and speed

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Part a)

$f_w = f_g = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

$\lambda_w = 492 nm$

$\lambda_g = 437.3 nm$

Part c)

$v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s$

$v_g = 2.0 \times 10^8 m/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

frequency of light will not change with change in medium but it will depend on the source only

so here frequency of light will remain same in both water and glass and it will be same as that in air

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

$f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{656 \times 10^{-9}}$

$f = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

As we know that the refractive index of water is given as

$\mu_w = 4/3$

so the wavelength in the water medium is given as

$\lambda_w = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_w}$

$\lambda_w = \frac{656 nm}{4/3}$

$\lambda_w = 492 nm$

Similarly the refractive index of glass is given as

$\mu_w = 3/2$

so the wavelength in the glass medium is given as

$\lambda_g = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_g}$

$\lambda_g = \frac{656 nm}{3/2}$

$\lambda_g = 437.3 nm$

Part c)

Speed of the wave in water is given as

$v_w = \frac{c}{\mu_w}$

$v_w = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{4/3}$

$v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s$

Speed of the wave in glass is given as

$v_g = \frac{c}{\mu_g}$

$v_g = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{3/2}$

$v_g = 2 \times 10^8 m/s$

A _____________ is a system that uses vertical posts which are separated to support a horizontal beam. A. Truss c. Post-and-lint

IgorC [24]

A Post-and-lintel is a system that uses vertical posts which are separated to

support a horizontal beam.

A Post-and-lintel system is commonly used in architecture and involves the

system where horizontal structures are held by vertical ones with the

presence of spaces between them.

In this scenario, we were told the system uses vertical posts which are

separated to support a horizontal beam which makes Post-and-lintel the

most appropriate choice.

Two mass m1 and m2 lie on a frictionless surface. Between the two masses is a compressed spring, with spring constant k. The sys

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The spring was compressed the following amount:

$\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }$

Explanation:

Use conservation of energy between initial and final state, considering that the surface id frictionless, and there is no loss in thermal energy due to friction. the total initial energy is the potential energy of the compressed spring (by an amount $\Delta x$ ), and the total final energy is the addition of the kinetic energies of both masses:

$E_i=\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2\\\\E_f=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2$

$E_i=E_f\\$

$\frac{1}{2} k\,(\Delta x)^2=\frac{1}{2} m_1\,v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2\,v_2^2\\k\,(\Delta x)^2=m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2\\(\Delta x)^2=\frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} \\\Delta x=\sqrt{ \frac{m_1\,v_1^2+ m_2\,v_2^2}{k} }$
