You haven't said whether the two resistors are connected
in series or in parallel. It makes a difference.

-- If they are in series, then their combined effective resistance is

(3 + 2) = 5 ohms.

Current in the circuit is (voltage)/(resistance) = 1.5/5 = 0.3 Amp.

-- If they are in parallel, then their combined effective resistance is

(3 x 2) / (3 + 2) = (6/5) = 1.2 ohms.

Current in the circuit is (voltage)/(resistance) = 1.5/1.2 = 1.25 Amp.

Determine the speed, wavelength, and frequency of light from a helium-neon laser as it travels through polystyrene. The waveleng

klemol [59]

Answer:

Speed:

$2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Wavelength:

$4.24x10^{-7}m$

Frequency:

$4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Explanation:

The speed of the laser as it travels through polystyrene can be determine by means of the equation of the refraction index:

$n = \frac{c}{v}$ (1)

Where c is the speed of light and v is the speed of the laser in the medium.

Therefore, v will be isolated from equation 1

$v = \frac{c}{n}$

$v = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1.490}$

$v = 2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Hence, the speed of the laser has a value of $2.01x10^{8}m/s$

Frenquency:

Since, wavelength is the only one who depends on the media. Therefore the frequency in both medium will be the same.

To determine the frequency it can be used the following equation

$c = \nu \cdot \lambda$ (2)

Where c is the speed of light, $\nu$ is the frequency and $\lambda$ is the wavelength

Then, $\nu$ wil be isolated from equation 2.

$\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}$ (3)

Before using equation 3 it is necessary to express $\lamba$ in units of meters.

$\lambda = 632.8nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9}nm}$ ⇒ $6.328x10^{-7}m$

$\nu = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{6.328x10^{-7}m}$

$\nu = 4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}$

$\nu = 4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Hence, the frequency of the laser has a value of $4.74x10^{14}Hz$

Wavelength:

To determine the wavelength it can be used:

$v = \nu \cdot \lambda$

$\lambda = \frac{v}{\nu}$

Where v is the speed of the laser through the polystyrene.

$\lambda = \frac{2.01x10^{8}m/s}{4.74x10^{14}s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 4.24x10^{-7}m$

Hence, the wavelength of the laser has a value of $4.24x10^{-7}m$

The critical angle for water is 49°. If a ray of light

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Snell's Law states

Ni sin i = Nr sin r

Judging from the question the source of the ray is in the water (directed up)

or NI = 1 / sin 49 Ni = 1.325 deg the critical angle

From inside the pond:

Nr = 1.325 * sin 45 / 1 = 94 deg

So refraction can occur outside the pond and you do not have total internal refection.

What safety measures would you suggest to protect from harmful waves

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

If you're talking about the sun than:

Time, Distance and Shielding Time, distance, and shielding actions minimize your exposure to radiation in much the same way as they would to protect you against overexposure to the sun:

If you're talking about the ocean than:

Water safety precautions for teens and young adults:

Never go into the water if you can’t swim.

If you can’t swim, learn. Any age can receive swimming lessons.

Always wear a life jacket while boating or taking part in boating activities such as tubing or skiing.

Never swim alone or in an unsupervised area.

Know your swimming strength.

Don’t rough house around water. Never push, jump on or hang on to others in or around water.

Never drink alcohol while taking part in water or boating activities. Alcohol affects your motor skills therefore making it harder to swim, float, keep balance or drive.

How does the location of the outer planets explain their composition and characteristics?

Elena-2011 [213]

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune collectively make up the group known as the jovian planets. The general structures of the jovian planets are opposite those of the terrestrial planets. Rather than having thin atmospheres around relatively large rocky bodies, the jovian planets have relatively small, dense cores surrounded by massive layers of gas. Made almost entirely of hydrogen and helium, these planets do not have solid surfaces.
