Olivia wants to find out whether a substance will fluoresce. She says she should put it in a microwave oven. Do you agree with h

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Disagree.
Fluoresce objects will only glow when put under actual Ultraviolet light. This is due to the molecules becoming excited by the ultraviolet radiation.

Microwaves give micro-waves that are present in another spectrum of wave length and will not be able to fluoresce the molecules. If it’s not “ultra violet “.... it’s not going to glow.

A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of

andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where :

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

$n_1=1.00$ (index of refraction of air)

$n_2=1.50$ approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

$sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

And since $n_2>n_1$ , we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

And so

$\theta_2$

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Suppose that instead of a long straight wire, a shortstraight wire was used. The distance from the wire to thepoint that the mag

vichka [17]

Answer:

Thus, if field were sampled at same distance, the field due to short wire is greater than field due to long wire.

Explanation:

The magnetic field, B of long straight wire can be obtained by applying ampere's law

$B= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

I is here current, and r's the distance from the wire to the field of measurement.

The magnetic field is obviously directly proportional to the current wire. From this expression.

As the resistance of the long cable is proportional to the cable length, the short cable becomes less resilient than the long cable, so going through the short cable (where filled with the same material) is a bigger amount of currents. If the field is measured at the same time, the field is therefore larger than the long wire because of the short wire.
