A ray of light traveling through air strikes a piece of diamond at an angle of incidence equal to 56 degrees. Calculate the angu

lar separation in degrees between the red light and the violet light in the refracted ray, given that: The index of refraction of violet light ( Lamdaviolet = 400nm) in diamond is 2.46. The index of refraction of red light ( Lamdared = 700nm) in diamond is 2.41. Enter the numeric value in degrees.

Answer:

The angle of separation is  \Delta \theta =  0.93 ^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The angle of incidence is  \theta  _ i  = 56^o

     The refractive index of violet light  in diamond  is  n_v = 2.46

       The refractive index of red light in diamond is n_r = 2.41

      The wavelength of violet light is  \lambda _v = 400nm = 400*10^{-9}m

         The wavelength of red  light is  \lambda _r = 700nm = 700*10^{-9}m

Snell's  Law can be represented mathematically as

         \frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_r} = n

Where \theta_r is the angle of refraction

=>       sin \theta_r  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n}

Now considering violet light

               sin \theta_r__{v}}  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_v}

substituting values

                sin \theta_r__{v}}  =   \frac{sin (56)}{2.46}

                 sin \theta_r__{v}}  =  0.337

                 \theta_r__{v}}  =  sin ^{-1} (0.337)

                 \theta_r__{v}}  =  19.69^o

Now considering red light

               sin \theta_r__{R}}  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_r}

substituting values

                sin \theta_r__{R}}  =   \frac{sin (56)}{2.41}

                 sin \theta_r__{R}}  =  0.344

                 \theta_r__{R}}  =  sin ^{-1} (0.344)

                 \theta_r__{R}}  = 20.12^o

The angle of separation between the red light and the violet light is mathematically evaluated as

                  \Delta \theta = \theta_r__{R}} -  \theta_r__{V}}

substituting values

                  \Delta \theta =20.12 - 19.69

                  \Delta \theta =  0.93 ^o

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin
lyudmila [28]
Part a) The work done by the gas on the bullet is the integral of the force in dx, where x is the distance covered by the bullet inside the barrel with respect to the origin:
W= \int\limits^{0.540m}_{0} {F} \, dx =  \int\limits^{0.540m}_{0} {(16000+10000x-26000x^2)} \, dx =
=16000x+10000  \frac{x^2}{2} - 26000  \frac{x^3}{3}
By substituting the length of the barrel, L=0.540 m, we find the total work done by the gas on the bullet:
W=16000(0.540m)+10000  \frac{(0.540m)^2}{2} - 26000  \frac{(0.540m)^3}{3}  =
=8733 J=8.73 kJ

part b) The resolution of the problem is the same, we just have to use the new length of the barrel (L=0.95 m) inside the final formula, and we find the new value of the work:
W=16000(0.95m)+10000  \frac{(0.95m)^2}{2} - 26000  \frac{(0.95m)^3}{3}  =
=12280 J=12.28 kJ

A reconnaissance plane flies 605 km away from
kolezko [41]

Answer:

                      v_{avg}  = 355 m/s  

Explanation:

Distance = 605 km

Initial speed = v_{i} = 284 m/s

Final velocity = v_{f} = 426 m/s

Average speed = ?

There is two method two find average speed. In first method, using 3rd equation of motion, we find acceleration.

                        2as = v_{f}^{2}+v_{i}^{2}

Then using first equation of motion, we find time

                        v_{f} = v_{i}+at

Then using the formula of average velocity, we find average velocity

                         v_{avg}=\frac{total-distance}{total-time}

Second method is very simple

                                  v_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}+v_{i} }{2}

                                   v_{avg}=\frac{426+284}{2}

                                   v_{avg}  = 355 m/s

A force of 450 N moves a body through 300 cm in the direction of force. Calculate the work
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

150J

Explanation:

Formula : <u>Work</u><u> </u><u>done</u>

Force x distance

work done = force x distance

Distance should be measured in meters

300÷100=3m

work done = 450 x 3

=150J
