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°

A piece of putty and a tennis ball with the same mass are thrown against a wall with the same velocity. Which object experiences
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly, we have to define momentum.

Momentum is define as the product of mass and velocity.

That is P = mass×velocity

Also considering the third law of motion which states that: For every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.

Moreso, considering the 2nd law of motion which states that the rate of change in the momentum of a body is equal to the applied force and takes place in the direction of the applied force.

Now, applying P = mass×velocity

They both have same mass and velocity definitely, they will both experience same momentum.

Also from the question, the both share same velocity hence, the will both hit the wall with same velocity meaning the will both feel the same impact from the wall as well. Hence the third law of motion proves this right.

You have a rock sample and analyze it for the presence of radioactive isotopes in order to determine when it was formed. You fin
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

the decay of half of the nuclei only a half-life has passed ,  b) in rock time it is 1 108 years

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is given by

         N = N₀ e^{\lambda t}

If half of the atoms have decayed

       ½ N₀ = N₀ e^{\lambda t}

       ½ = e^{\lambda t} ₀

       Ln 0.5 = - λ t

       t = - ln 0.5 /λ

The definition of average life time is

      T_{1/2}= ln 2 / λ

       λ = ln 2 /  T_{1/2}

       λ = 0.693 / 100 10⁶

       λ = 0.693 10⁻⁸ years

We replace

       t = -ln 0.5 / 0.693 10⁻⁸

       t = 10⁸ years

We see that for the decay of half of the nuclei only a half-life has passed

b) in rock time it is 1 108 years

Rita conducts an experiment on how the amount of precipitation each fall affects
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

As spring season is a yearly phenomenon so, Rita should organize her data on yearly basis. Firstly, she should plan the procedure of her experiment and collect the data according to it. Secondly, identify the attribute of each object of her experiment. Thirdly, she can organize and segregate her data in tabular form, graphical form or diagrammatically.

Distance travelled can be found from the
meriva

Answer:

A

Explanation:

This is because distance traveled (i.e. displacement) is the integral of the velocity function, and velocity is the first derivative of the displacement function. To put this in perspective, the area bounded by a curve can be found by taking the integral of the equation of the curve, taking values on the x-axis as limits.
