In a physics lab, light with wavelength 490 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in 17.0 ns. When a slab of glass 0.840

m thick is placed in the light beam, with the beam incident along the normal to the parallel faces of the slab, it takes the light 21.2 ns to travel from the laser to the photocell. What is the wavelength of the light in the glass?

Answer:196 nm

Explanation:

Given

wavelength \lambda =490 nm

time required by laser to travel in air t_1=17 ns

slab thickness t=0840 m

time requires by laser to travel t_2=21.2 ns

so it takes 21.2-17=4.2 ns more in glass slab

suppose n is the refractive index of glass

\frac{0.84}{\frac{c}{n}}-\frac{0.84}{c}=4.2

0.84(n-1)=4.2\times 3\times 10^{-9}\times 10^{8}

n-1=1.5

n=2.5

Wavelength of light in Glass=\frac{\lambda _{air}}{n}

=\frac{490}{2.5}=196 nm

Sounds are produced by objects that are______
ahrayia [7]

Answer: Vibrating

Explanation:

Sound is produced when an object vibrates. The sound vibrations cause waves of pressure that travel through a medium, such as air, water, wood or metal. Sound is a form of mechanical energy.

In his experiments on "cathode rays" during which he discovered the electron, J.J. Thomson showed that the same beam deflections
Andrews [41]

Answer:

A) his observation is of little importance ,

B) This observation is very important since the movement of the point of light depends on the relationship between the already magnetic electric force

C)   see that in this second case it is 4 times less  

D) the force of gravity is of the order of 10⁻⁴⁰

therefore it is 10²⁸ times less than the electric force,

Explanation:

A) This observation is of little importance since the cacodylate ray tube always emits electrons, regardless of the material of which it is made.

B) This observation is very important since the movement of the point of light depends on the relationship between the already magnetic electric force

C) the elect's load is 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ C its mass is 9.1 10⁻³¹ kg, let's look for its relation

        e / m = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ / 9.1 10⁻³¹

         e / m = 0.1 758 10 10¹² N

look for this in the case of an atom, let's use the lightest atom hydrogen

the homogenize have an electron of charge 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ C

and a mass of 1.6735575 10⁻²⁷ ka

        e / M = 1.6 10⁻⁻¹⁹ / 1.67 10⁻²⁷

       e / M = 0.96 10⁸ N

We see that in this second case it is 4 times less

D) the force of gravity is of the order of 10⁻⁴⁰

therefore it is 10²⁸ times less than the electric force, therefore it should not contribute to the movement of the light beam

Most of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus.<br> True<br> False
Zanzabum
There are "Protons" & "Neutrons" in an atom inside the nucleus. They are very massive as compared to "Electrons" (which reside outside the nucleus).So, the sentence is correct.

In short, Your Final answer would be "True"

Hope this helps!
