How a typical human eye sees color?

Light receptors within the eye transmit messages to the brain. This produces the familiar sensations of color. Newton observed that color is not inherent in objects. Instead, the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceive only the reflected colors.

A 6 kg object falls 10 m. The object is attached mechanically to a paddle-wheel which rotates as the object falls. The paddle-wh

Answer: $16.234^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object (m)=6 kg

falling height(h)=10 m

mass of water( $m_w$ )=600 gm

temperature of water =15

specific heat of water $=4.186 j/g-^{\circ}C$

Let T be the Final Temperature of water

Here Object Potential Energy is converted into Heat energy which will be absorbed by water

Potential Energy(P.E.) $=mgh=6\times 9.81\times 10=588.6 J$

Heat supplied $=m_wc(\Delta T)$

$H.E.=600\times 4.186\times (T-16)$

$588.6=2511.6\times (T-16)$

T-16=0.234

$T=16.234^{\circ}C$

This is not an efficient way of heating water as there is only $0.234^{\circ}C$ increase in temperature.

What is the reflectivity of a glass surface (n =1.5) in air (n = 1) at an 45° for (a) S-polarized light and (b) P-polarized ligh

Goshia [24]

Answer:

a) $R_s = 0.092$

b) $R_p = 0.085$

Explanation:

given,

n =1.5 for glass surface

n = 1 for air

incidence angle = 45°

using Fresnel equation of reflectivity of S and P polarized light

$R_s=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_i-n_2cos\theta_t}{n_1cos\theta_i+n_2cos\theta_t} \right |^2\\R_p=\left | \dfrac{n_1cos\theta_t-n_2cos\theta_i}{n_1cos\theta_t+n_2cos\theta_i} \right |^2$
