A certain kind of glass has an index of refraction of 1.660 for blue light of wavelength 420 nm and an index of 1.630 for red li

ght of wavelength 690 nm. If a beam containing these two colors is incident at an angle of 30.0° on a piece of this glass, what is the angle between the two beams inside the glass?

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Snell's law

n₁ sinθ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂

for 420 nm wavelength

where n₁ = 1.00 ( refractive index of air) and θ₁ = 30° n₂ = 1.660

1.00 × sin 30° = 1.660 sinθ₂

sinθ₂ = 0.3012

θ₂ = sin⁻¹ 0.3012 = 17.53°

for 690 nm wavelength

n₁ sinθ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂

sinθ₂ = 0.5 / 1.630

θ₂ = sin⁻¹ 0.3067 = 17.86°

the angle between the two beam = 17.863° - 17.53° = 0.333°

You can comfortably hold your fingers close beside a candle flame, but not very close above the flame. why? challenge (optional)
Inessa05 [86]
The candle flame releases hot gases, which directly go in upwards directions. Due to which the air near the flame of the candle is very hot and dense. The particles along with vapour move up. And since the sideways, the air is not very dense and hot, we are able to hold the candle. In anti-gravity region, there will be no density differences and also, the convection process wont occur. So, the candle quickly snuffs off.

1. The horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's velocity are
Anni [7]

The horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's velocity are independent of each other.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The path of a projectile is determined by two components of motion. They are termed as horizontal and the vertical components. Since both components velocity are perpendicular to each other, so it can stated that they are independent of each other.

Even it can seen that when the horizontal components of velocity is constant, then there will be change in the vertical components of velocity leading to free fall projectile path.

And in the absence of gravity, there will be change in the horizontal components of velocity with zero vertical component of velocity. Thus, the horizontal and the vertical components of a projectile’s velocity are seemed to be independent of each other.

How much pressure is applied to the ground
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Pressure applied by the man= 285103.125 Pa  or 41.35 lb/in^{2}

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the perpendicular force applied per unit area.

i.e.  Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}

Now, Force= mg

where, m = mass of the body(man) = 93 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity of Earth = 9.81 m/{s^{2}}

Area covered is equal to the area of both stilts(a man generally stands on two feet)

therefore Area=2(0.04)^{2} m^{2}

and putting in the values, we get,

Pressure=\frac{93\times9.81}{2\times(0.04)^{2}}Nm^{-2}=285103.125Nm^{-2}

Now we need to convert to our required units:

1Nm^{-2}=1Pa\\1Pa=0.000145038lb/in^{2}

(We can get the above result by individually converting kg to lb and meters to inches respectively)

Using the above relations we get,

Pressure=285103.125Pa=0.000145038\times285103.125lb/in^{2}=41.35lb/in^{2}

if the time is taken to bring a ball to rest from a certain velocity 'v'. is reduced to half, what will be the change in the val
777dan777 [17]

The answer is C) rate of change of momentum. The answer is not initial or final momentum as the start and end points are not changing. On the other hand, the time it takes for the ball to change velocity is. This change relates to the change of momentum. Hope this helped :))
