Water waves approach an underwater "shelf" where the velocity changes from 2.8 m/s to 2.1 m/s. If the incident wave crests make

a 34o angle with the shelf, what will be the angle of refraction?

Answer:

24°

Explanation:

sin(34°)/sin(x)=v2/v1

x=arcsin(2,1*sin(34°)/2,8)=24°

A thin Nichrome wire connected to an ammeter surrounds a region of time-varying magnetic flux, and the ammeter reads 13 amperes.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

The current would be same in both situation.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current I = 13 A

Number of turns = 23

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf is

$\epsilon=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

For N = 1

$\epsilon=A\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

$i=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}$

Put the value of emf

$i=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}$

Now, if the number of turn is 22 , then induced emf would be

$\epsilon'=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

Then the current would be

$i'=\dfrac{\epsilon'}{NR}$

$i'=\dfrac{NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{NR}$

$i'=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}$

$i'=i$

Hence, The current would be same in both situation.

Reflected light from a thin film of oil gives constructive interference for light with a wavelength inside the film of λfilm. By

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:D. λfilm/4

Explanation: Destructive interference is a type of wave interference which means the coming together or over-lapping of two opposing waves creating No effect or the Cancellation of the wave impact. An example of destructive wave is when Noise cancel the effect of sound from a head phone.

The film thickness will need to be increased by λfilm/4 for it to be able to give a destructive interference.

Certain neutron stars (extremely dense stars) are believed to be rotating at about 10 rev/s. If such a star has a radius of 18 k

Aleks [24]

Answer:

mass of the neutron star =3.45185×10^26 Kg

Explanation:

When the neutron star rotates rapidly, a material on its surface to remain in place, the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on the central material must be equal to magnitude of the centripetal acc. of the rotating star.

That is

$\frac{GM_{ns}}{R^2}= \omega^2 R$

M_ns = mass odf the netron star.

G= gravitational constant = 6.67×10^{-11}

R= radius of the star = 18×10^3 m

ω = 10 rev/sec = 20π rads/sec

therefore,

$M_{ns}= \frac{\omega^2R^3}{G} = \frac{4\pi^2\times(18\times10^3)^3}{6.67\times10^{-11}}$

= 3.45185... E26 Kg

= 3.45185×10^26 Kg

Explain how the plants of a tropical rain forest contribute to the characteristic hot, humid weather associated with the area. U

Talja [164]

Answer: The atmosphere of trophic rainforest is hot and humid due to high rate of transpiration.

Explanation:

The tropical rainforest is a biome which exhibit rich biodiversity of plants and animals. The average temperatures in this region remain high with warm summer. It remains frost free. The soil is nutrient deficient. Due to hot temperature the rate of transpiration remains high as a result the concentration of the water vapors remain high. This is responsible for increasing the humidity in the atmosphere also this region receives appreciable amount of rainfall annually. The average rainfall range is 200-450 centimeters.
