Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

The SI system of amplitude is a metre (m).

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

a) the rotational speed of the clay is 3.45 rad/s

b) the value of A in the equation of motion is 0.15 m

c) the value of ϕi is 90° or π/2 rad.

Explanation:

Given that;

Revolution per minute rpm = 33( 1/3) = 100/3

The frequency f = 100 / 3(60) = 0.55 Hz

Rotational speed W = 2πf

we substitute

W = 2π × 0.55

W = 3.45 rad/s

Therefore, the rotational speed of the clay is 3.45 rad/s

given equation; y(t)=Asin(ωt+ϕi)

given that radius = 0.15 m

y(t)=(0.2)sin(ωt+ϕi)

Therefore, the value of A in the equation of motion is 0.15 m

since y(t) has the maximum value at t =0

so at t=0

y(0) = (0.15)sin(ω(0)+ϕi)

= 0.15sin(ϕi)

this will give maximum value when ϕi = 90°

y(0) = (0.15)sin(ω(0)+ϕi)

= 0.15sin(90°)

= 0.15

hence, the value of ϕi is 90° or π/2 rad.

Light propagate faster through medium “a” than medium “b”

dangina [55]

1) Medium "b" has more optical density

2) Light must hit the interface between the two mediums perpendicularly

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when light propagates from a medium into a second medium.

The optical density of a medium is given by its index of refraction, which is defined as:

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

where

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in a medium

Higher index of refraction means higher optical density, and light propagater slower into a medium with higher optical density.

In this problem, light propagates faster through medium "a" than medium "b": this means that medium "a" has lower refractive index of medium "b", and so "b" has more optical density.

We can answer this part by referring to Snell's law, which gives the relationship between the direction of the incident ray and of the refracted ray when light passes through the interface between two media:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

$n_1, n_2$ are the index of refraction of the two mediums

$\theta_1, \theta_2$ are the angle of incidence and of refraction (the angle that light makes with the normal to the surface in medium 1 and medium 2)
