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 bullet with a mass ????b=13.5mb=13.5 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity ????b=253vb=253 m/s. The block is attached to
Lorico [155]

Answer:

450 grams

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the bullet, m = 13.5 g = 0.0135 kg

velocity of the bullet, v = 253 m/s

spring constant of the spring, k = 205 N/m

Compression of the spring, x = 35.0 cm = 0.35 m

Now, the kinetic energy of the moving system (bullet + board) will tend to move the spring

thus,

let velocity of the system, V

now, applying the concept of conservation of momentum, we have

mv = (M + m)V

where,

M is the mass of the block

thus,

V = mv/(M + m)

now,

the kinetic energy of the system = (1/2)(M + m)V²

or

the kinetic energy of the system = (1/2)(M + m)(mv/(m + M))²

Energy gained by the spring = (1/2)kx²

now,

equating both the energies, we get

(1/2)(M + m)(mv/(m + M))² = (1/2)kx²

or

(mv)²/(m + M) = kx²

on substituting the values, we get

(0.0135 × 253)²/(0.0135 + M) = 205 × (0.35)²

or

11.66/(0.0135 + M) = 25.1125

or

M = 0.450 kg = 450 grams

How much energy is stored in the electric field of a 50-μm-diameter cell with a 7.0-nm-thick cell wall whose dielectric constant
Nady [450]
:<span>  </span><span>Under the assumption that a cell is made up of two concentric spheres you find the surface are of the inside sphere which will be your A. 

You already have your separation and dielectric constant so just use the formula you stated towards the end of your question and you get 8.93x10^-11 Farads which is about 89pF</span>
