Two light waves are initially in phase and have the same wavelength, 470 nm. They enter two different media of identical lengths

of 2.50 µm. If n1 = 1.2 and n2 = 1.5, what is the effective phase difference of the waves when they exit the media? Group of answer choices 3.7 rad 10 rad 1.6 rad 0.6 rad 0 rad

Answer:

= 3.7 radians = effective phase difference

Explanation:

Wavelength given =\lambda= 470 nm

n1 = 1.2 and n2 = 1.5

The light rays are traveling at different speeds inside the 2 different layers.

So effective optical path is given by  n d

where n is the refractive index of the medium and

d is the length traveled by the light ray in the medium.

The path difference introduced because of 2 different medium is

length = distance traveled by the wave = d = 2.5 x 10^-6 m

Phase difference =2 \pi / \lambda * path difference

path difference = (n₂ - n₁ ) d

= (1.5 - 1.2) (2.5 x 10⁻⁶)

= 7.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

phase difference = 2 pi / (470 x 10⁻⁹) * (7.5 x 10⁻⁷) = 10 rad

2 pi radians is 360 degrees

10 radians = 573 degrees

Phase difference = 573 - 360 = 212 degrees

= 3.7 radians = effective phase difference

Suppose that a sound has initial intensity β1 measured in decibels. This sound now increases in intensity by a factor f. What is
topjm [15]

Answer:

β2= β1+10*f

Explanation:

comparing β2 and β1, it is said that β2 is increased by a factor of f.

for each factor of f, there is a 10*f dB increase.

therefore if the β1 is increases by an intensity of factor f

the new intensity would be β1+ 10*f

What is the minimum frequency with which a 200-turn, flat coil of cross sectional area 300 cm2 can be rotated in a uniform 30-mT
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The minimum frequency of the coil is 7.1 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns, N = 200 turns

cross sectional area, A = 300 cm² = 300 x 10⁻⁴ m²

magnitude of magnetic field strength, B = 30 x 10⁻³ T

maximum value of the induced emf, E = 8 V

Maximum induced emf is given as;

E = NBAω

where

ω is angular velocity (ω = 2πf)

E = NBA2πf

where;

f is the minimum frequency, measured in hertz (Hz)

f = E / (NBA2π)

f = 8 / (200 x 30 x 10⁻³  x 300 x 10⁻⁴ x 2 x 3.142)

f = 7.073 Hz

f = 7.1 Hz

Therefore, the minimum frequency of the coil is 7.1 Hz

Calculate the lowest energy (in ev) for an electron in an infinite well having a width of 0.050 mm.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The lowest energy of electron in an infinite well is 1.2*10^-33J.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the infinite well.

<h3>What is the lowest energy of electron in an infinite well?</h3>
  • It is given that, the infinite well having a width of 0.050 mm.
  • We have the expression for energy of electron in an infinite well as,

                  E_n=\frac{n^2h^2}{8mL^2}

  • where;

                m=9.1*10^{-31}kg\\L=0.050*10^{-3}m\\h=6.63*10^{-34}Js\\n=1

  • Thus, the lowest energy of electron in an infinite well is,

                E_1=\frac{(6.63*10^{-34})^2}{8*9.1*10^{-31}*(0.050*10^{-3})}=1.2*10^{-33}J

Thus, we can conclude that, the lowest energy of electron in an infinite well is 1.2*10^-33J.
