A sound whispered at one focus of a whispering gallery can be heard at the other focus. Two people are standing in a whispering

gallery whose cross section is a semielliptical arch with a height of 28 feet and a width of 90 feet. How far from the room's center should they stand so that they can whisper back and forth and be heard?

Light of wavelength 425.0 nm in air falls at normal incidence on an oil film that is 850.0 nm thick. The oil is floating on a wa
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

in oil film        λ = 303.57 10⁻⁹ m

in the water film    λ = 319.55 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

When electromagnetic radiation reaches a material, its propagation is by a process that we call absorption and reflection,

when light reaches a surface it has a mass much greater than the mass of the photons (m = 0), therefore there is an elastic collision where the frequency does not change, due to the speed of light in the material medium changes, therefore the only possibility is that the wavelength in the material changes, to maintain the relationship

             v = λ f

in the void we have

             c = λ₀ f

we divide the two expression

            c / v = λ₀ / λ

the refractive index is

             

              n = c / v

              n = λ₀ /λ

              λ = λ₀ / n

let's calculate

in oil film

            λ = 425 10⁻⁹ / 1.40

            λ = 303.57 10⁻⁹ m

in the water film

            λ = 425 10⁻⁹ / 1.33

            λ = 319.55 10⁻⁹

those wavelengths are in the ultraviolet

In what way does Isaac represent us?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Derived from the Hebrew יִצְחָק (Yitzhak), the name Isaac means “one who laughs” or “one who rejoices.” In the Old Testament of the Bible, Isaac is the firstborn son of Abraham. He is one of the three biblical patriarchs revered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. ... Gender: Isaac is traditionally a masculine name.

A block with mass m =6.9 kg is hung from a vertical spring. When the mass hangs in equilibrium, the spring stretches x = 0.24 m.

U need to set up n solve the general eqn for simple harmonic motion:
x" = -(k/m)x

solution is x(t) = (x0)*cos(wt) + (v0/w)*sin(wt)
where w=sqrt(k/m), x0 is x-position at t=0 and v0 is vel at t=0
u already calculated f in Q.2 and w = 2*pi*f
x0 is 0 as it starts at eqm
v0 is given at 5.1

so u have x(t)

vel is given by x'(t) = (x0)*(-w)*sin(wt) + (v0/w)*w*cos(wt)

substitute t=0.32, x0=0, v0=5.1 n w in the above, u can solve for v at t=0.32.

Why does a pencil look bent when it is placed in a glass of water?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

This is due to bending of light ray passing through the medium.

Explanation:

This can be explained using the concept of refraction.

Refraction can be defined as the bending of light ray as it travels from one medium to another (it can be from the less dense to denser medium or denser to less dense medium)

For that of pencil in water, light ray travels from less dense medium(surrounding air) to denser medium(water). This causes the pencil to bend away from the normal rather than towards the normal (angle of refraction being greater than angle of incidence) and hence the reason for the bending.

NB: Normal line is perpendicular to the plane between the medium.
