Background information about reflection and refraction of light

Physics
1 answer:
KIM [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

reflection :

  • angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
  • Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
  • light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

  • light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
  • after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
  • angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

2 m = E / c^2      where m is mass of electron

E = h v     where v is the frequency ( nu) of the incident photon

E = h c / y      where y is the incident wavelength (lambda)

2 m = h / (c y)

y = h / (2 m c)      wavelength required

y = 6.62 * 10E-34 / (2 * 9.1 * 10E-31 * 3 * 10E8)  m

y = 3.31 / 27.3 E-11 m

y = 1.21 E -12 m   = .0121 Angstrom units

For your senior project, you would like to build a cyclotron that will accelerate protons to 10% of the speed of light. The larg
viva [34]

Answer:

The magnetic field is 1.16 T.  

Explanation:

speed, v = 10% of speed of light = 3 x 10^7 m/s

diameter, d = 54 cm

radius, r = 0.27 m

charge, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

mass, m = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg

Let the magnetic field is B.

The centripetal force is balanced by the magnetic force.  

qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\\\B =\frac{mv}{qr}\\\\B =\frac{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 3\times 10^{7}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.27}\\\\B =1.16 T

A small sphere attached to a light rigid rod rotates about an axis perpendicular to and fixed to the other end of the rod. relat
Crank
<span>d.rotating counterclockwise and slowing down This is a matter of understanding the notation and conventions of angular rotations. Positive rotations are counter clockwise and negative rotations are clockwise. An easy way to remember this is the "right hand rule". Make a closed fist with your right hand and have the thumb sticking outwards. If you orient your thumb such that it's pointing in the direction of the positive value along the axis, your fingers will be curled in the positive rotational direction. So in the described scenario, the sphere is rotating in the positive direction (counter clockwise) and decelerating due to the negative angular acceleration. That immediately indicates that options "a", "b", and "e" are wrong since they mention the sphere going clockwise at the beginning. Of the two remaining options "c" and "d", we can discard option "c" since it has the rotation speeding up, and that leaves us with option "d" where the sphere is rotating counter clockwise and slowing down.</span>

A force acting on a body causes a change in the momentum of the from 12 kgms-1 to 16 kgms-1 in 0.2 s. calculate the magnitude of
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: Impulse = 4 kgm/s

Explanation:

From the question, you're given the following parameters:

Momentum P1 = 12 kgm/s

Momentum P2 = 16 kgm/s

Time t = 0.2 s

According to second law of motion,

Force F = change in momentum ÷ time

That is

F = (P2 - P1)/t

Cross multiply

Ft = P2 - P1

Where Ft = impulse

Substitute P1 and P2 into the formula

Impulse = 16 - 12 = 4 kgm/s

The magnitude of the impulse is therefore 4 kgm/s.

Answer:

The Forces of Flight

At any given time, there are four forces acting upon an aircraft.  

These forces are lift, weight (or gravity), drag and thrust. Lift is  

the key aerodynamic force that keeps objects in the air. It is the  

force that opposes weight; thus, lift helps to keep an aircraft in  

the air. Weight is the force that works vertically by pulling all  

objects, including aircraft, toward the center of the Earth. In order  

to fly an aircraft, something (lift) needs to press it in the opposite  

direction of gravity. The weight of an object controls how strong  

the pressure (lift) will need to be. Lift is that pressure. Drag is a  

mechanical force generated by the interaction and contract of a  

solid body, such as an airplane, with a fluid (liquid or gas). Finally,  

the thrust is the force that is generated by the engines of an  

aircraft in order for the aircraft to move forward.
