Answer:
26.6°
Explanation:
refractive index of diamond, n = 2.23
When a ray of light passes from denser medium to the rarer medium and refracts at an angle of 90 degree from the normal of the surface, such angle of incidence in the denser medium is called the critical angle.
By the Snell's law
For critical angle, angle of incidence is critical angle, i = θc and angle of refraction, r = 90
So,
Sin θc / Sin 90 = 1 / 2.23
Sin θc = 0.448
θc = 26.6°
Thus, the critical angle is 26.6°.
Answer:
(a) 0.38 m
(b) 2.78 m/s
(c) 0.11 watt
Explanation:
mass, m = 0.3 kg
spring constant, K = 160 N/m
initial compression, d = 12 cm = 01.2 m
initial speed, u = 3 m/s
(a) Let the maximum stretch is y.
Use conservation of energy
Initial potential energy + initial kinetic energy = final potential energy
0.5 x K x d² + 0.5 x m x u² = 0.5 x K x y²
160 x 0.12 x 0.12 + 0.3 x 0.12 x 0.12 = 160 x y²
2.304 + 0.00432 = 160 y²
y = 0.38 m
y = 38 cm
(b) Let v is the maximum speed.
The speed is maximum when the stretch in the spring is zero, so by use of conservation of energy
Initial potential energy + initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy
0.5 x K x d² + 0.5 x m x u² = 0.5 x m x v²
160 x 0.12 x 0.12 + 0.3 x 0.12 x 0.12 = 0.3 x v²
2.304 + 0.00432 = 0.3 v²
v = 2.78 m/s
(c) The time period of the spring mass system is given by
T = 0.272 second
Energy dissipated per cycle = 0.03 J
Power, P = 0.03 / 0.272 = 0.11 Watt
