Light refracts due to a change in ________

Physics
1 answer:
Nonamiya [84]3 years ago
7 0

The answer is b) Speed.

Light refracting is the just the change of direction of the light. And the change of direction in the light is caused by the change in speed.

An example of this would be when light travels into the water. When light hits the water it slows down, causing a change in speed and ultimately changing the direction, causing a light refraction to occur.

You want to find out how many atoms of the isotope 65Cu are in a small sample of material. You bombard the sample with neutrons
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

a) number of copper atoms 65 (⁶⁵Cu)  is 7.692 10⁶ atoms

b) m_total Cu = 1.585 10⁹ u = 2.632 10⁻¹⁸ kg

Explanation:

a) For this exercise let's start by using the radioactive decay ratio

           N = N₀  e^{- \lambda t}o e - lambda t

The half-life time is defined as the time it takes for half of the radioactive (activated) atoms to decay, therefore after two half-lives there are

            N = ½ (½ N₀) = ¼ N₀

            N₀ = 4 N

in each decay a photon is emitted so we can use a direct rule of proportions. If an atom emits a photon it has Eo = 1,04 Mev, how many photons it has energy E = 10,000 MeV

          # _atoms = 1 atom (photon) (E / Eo)

          # _atoms = 1 10000 / 1.04

          # _atoms = 9615,4 atoms

          N₀ = 4 #_atoms

          N₀ = 4 9615,4

          N₀=  38461.6  atoms

in the exercise indicates that half of the atoms decay in this way and the other half decays directly to the base state of Zinc, so the total number of activated atoms

          N_activated = 2 # _atoms

          N_activated = 2 38461.6

          N_activated = 76923.2

also indicates that 1% = 0.01 of the nuclei is activated by neutron bombardment

          N_activated = 0.01 N_total

          N_total = N_activated / 0.01

          N_total = 76923.2 / 100

          N_total = 7.692 10⁶ atoms

so the number of copper atoms 65 (⁶⁵Cu)  is 7.692 10⁶

b) the natural abundance of copper is

  ⁶³Cu     69.17%

  ⁶⁵Cu    30.83%

Let's use a direct proportion rule. If there are 7.692 10⁶  ⁶⁵Cu that represents 30.83, how much ⁶³Cu is there that represents 69.17%

                # _63Cu = 69.17%  (7.692 10⁶    / 30.83%)

                # _63Cu = 17.258 10⁶  atom  ⁶³Cu

the total amount of comatose is

              #_total Cu = #_ 65Cu + # _63Cu

              #_total Cu = (7.692 + 17.258) 10⁶

              #_total Cu = 24.95 10⁶

the atomic mass of copper is m_Cu = 63.546 u

          m_total = #_totalCu m_Cu

          m_total = 24.95 10⁶ 63,546 u

          m_total = 1.585 10⁹ u

let's reduce to kg

           m_total Cu = 1.585 10⁹ u (1,66054 10⁻²⁷ kg / 1 u)

           m_total Cu = 2.632 10⁻¹⁸ kg

At time t=0 , in your frame of reference Z, you measure the back of the spaceship to be at x=0 and the front of the ship to be a
Liula [17]

An equation relating the length that you measure l to the ship's proper length l0  is  

l =l0/y. This is further explained below.

<h3>What is an equation relating the length that you measure l to the ship's proper length l0?</h3>

Generally, Any object's length in a moving frame will look shortened or contracted when seen in that direction. The Lorentz transformation may be used to determine the amount of contraction.

In conclusion, To use the Lorentz Lorentz transformation, the length Lo-x2 - may be determined if it is measured in the moving reference frame. Hence the Resultant l = l0/y.

A wall, acted upon by a force of 20 N, does not move. The work done on the wall in this process is
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

0 (Zero)

Explanation:

Definition of work done states that ,

Work done on an object is the force applied on that object in the direction of Displacement of the object .

means that ,

W = F.dS (Dot product of Force and displacement)

When the wall is acted upon by the force of 20 N , Wall does not move ,

Thus , displacement of the wall is zero.

So, W = 20×0 = 0.

Thus, Work done on the wall is zero.
