Answer:

the index of refraction for the transparent material is 1.48

Explanation:

let n1 = 1.0 be the refractive index of air and n2 be the refractive index of the trasnparent material.

then:

Snell's Law state that:

n1×sin(∅1) = n2×sin(∅2)

where ∅1 = 56.0° is the angle of incidence and  ∅2 = 90 - 56.0 = 34° be the angle refraction.

n1×sin(∅1) = n2×sin(∅2)

          n2 = n1×sin(∅1)/sin(∅2)

               =  (1.0)×sin(56.0°)/sin(34.0°)

               =  1.48

Therefore, the index of refraction for the transparent material is 1.48

Explain the change of frequency of the wave if the tension of the string is increased​
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Increasing the tension on a string increases the speed of a wave, which increases the frequency (for a given length). Pressing the finger at different places changes the length of string, which changes the wavelength of standing wave, affecting the frequency.

The objective lens of a microscope has a focal length of 5.5mm. Part A What eyepiece focal length will give the microscope an ov
son4ous [18]

Complete Question

The distance between the objective and eyepiece lenses in a microscope is 19 cm . The objective lens has a focal length of 5.5 mm .

What eyepiece focal length will give the microscope an overall angular magnification of 300?

Answer:

The  eyepiece focal length is  f_e  = 0.027 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The focal length is  f_o =  5.5 \ mm =  -0.0055 \ m

This negative sign shows the the microscope is diverging light

     The  angular magnification is m = 300

     The  distance between the objective and the eyepieces lenses is  Z =  19 \ cm  = 0.19 \ m

Generally the magnification is mathematically represented as

        m  =  [\frac{Z - f_e }{f_e}] [\frac{0.25}{f_0} ]

Where f_e is the eyepiece focal length of the microscope

  Now  making f_e the subject  of the formula

         f_e  = \frac{Z}{1 - [\frac{M  *  f_o }{0.25}] }

substituting values

        f_e  = \frac{ 0.19 }{1 - [\frac{300  *  -0.0055 }{0.25}] }

         f_e  = 0.027 \ m

A solid conducting sphere with radius R carries a positive total charge Q. The sphere is surrounded by an insulating shell with
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of the insulating shell is,

V_{shell}=\frac{4}{3}\pi(R^3_2-R^3_1)

Charge density of the shell is,

\rho=\frac{Q_{shell}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi(R^3_2-R^3_1)}

Here, R_2 =2R, R_1 =R \,and\, Q_{shell} =-Q

\rho=\frac{Q_{shell}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi((2R)^3-R^3)}=\frac{-3Q}{28\piR^3}

B)

The electric field is E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{R^3}

For 0 <r<R the electric field is zero, because the electric field inside the conductor is zero.

C)

For R <r <2R According to gauss law

E(4\pi r^2)=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}+\frac{4\pi\rho}{3\epsilon_0}(r^3-R^3)

substitute \rho=\frac{-3Q}{28\piR^3}

E=\frac{2}{7\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}-\frac{Qr}{28\piR^3}

D)

The net charge enclosed for each r in this range is positive and the electric field is outward

E)

For r>2R

Charge enclosed is zero, so electric field is zero
