Physics

<span>Amethyst is a crystalline quartz, its colours range from light to dark purple. The purplish colour of amethyst is due to high energy radiations, such as gamma rays, from radioactive sources, the presence of trace elements and the presence of iron found in its crystal lattice. The colour cetre created by Fe4+ is a principal contributor to the colouring of amethyst.</span>

A proton with a speed of 3.2 x 106 m/s is shot into a region between two plates that are separated by a distance of 0.23 m. As t
harina [27]

Answer:

<h2>The magnitude of the magnetic is 0.145 T</h2>

Explanation:

Given :

Speed of proton v = 3.2 \times 10^{6}\frac{m}{s}

Mass of proton m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} Kg

The force on the proton in magnetic field is given by,

  F = q (v \times B)

  F = qvB \sin \theta

But \sin 90 = 1    (∵ Force is perpendicular to the velocity so \theta = 90)

  F = qvB

When particle enter in magnetic field at the angle of 90° so particle moves in circle

So force is given by,

  F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Where r = radius but in our case 0.23 m, q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

By comparing above two equation,

  B = \frac{mv}{qr}

  B = \frac{1.67 \times 10^{-27} \times 3.2 \times 10^{6}  }{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 0.23 }

  B = 0.145 T

The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660 . A beam of white light in
Sonja [21]

Answer:

10.16 degrees

Explanation:

Apply Snells Law for both wavelenghts

\(n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}\)

For red

(1.620)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin r)

For red, the angle is 35.45degrees

For violet

(1.660)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin v)

For violet, the angle is 45.6 degrees

The difference is 45.6- 35.45 = 10.16 degrees

In some cases fixture wires may be used for
zalisa [80]

You can use fixture wires: For installation in luminaires where they are enclosed and protected and not subject to bending and twisting and also can be used to connect luminaires to their branch circuit conductors.

<h3>What are some uses of fixture wires?</h3>

Fixture wires are flexible conductors that are used for wiring fixtures and control circuits. There are some special uses and requirements for fixture wires and no fixture can be smaller than 18 AWG

In modern fixtures, neutral wire is white and the hot wire is red or black. In some types of fixtures, both wires will be of the same color.

To know more about fixture wires, refer

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The total displacement is 102 km 51^o north of east.

Explanation:

We can treat this problem as a trigonometric one, so we need to calculate the total displacement on the north and east.

d_n=34km+79km*sin(35^o)=79km

and

d_e=79*cos(35^o)=65km

The total displacement is given by:

D=\sqrt{(79km)^2+(65km)^2}=102km

with an agle of:

\alpha =arctg(\frac{79km}{65km})=51^o
