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°

Think about the various energy sources such as the sun, fossil fuels, water, wind, and nuclear power. What is the energy source
lakkis [162]

Answer:

<em>The energy source that powers my home is gotten from burning of fossil fuels.</em>

<em>No! I do not like this energy source.</em>

<em>I personally would prefer solar source of electricity</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>Fossil fuels are fuels gotten from the decomposition of dead organisms over time, under intense heat and pressure</em>. They are usually found buried beneath the earth's crust where they have been formed and trapped.

Most electricity generating stations generate electricity by burning fossil fuels like natural gas and gasoline to generate electricity. <em>The problem with fossil fuels are the various part that they play in increasing carbon footprints in the atmosphere. The excess carbon in the atmosphere has been a major contributor to the global warming of planet Earth.  </em>

My preference for solar energy source is first due to its abundance unlike the fossil fuels that are already diminishing in storage beneath the earth's crust. Also, <em>solar energy is a clean source of energy that does not leave any damage on earth from its use</em>. It also promises to be a cheap source of power in the future with advances in solar technologies.

If one soccer ball is rolling to the right at 3 m/s and another soccer ball is rolling left with a speed of 5 m/s, how much mome
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Final momentum after a head on collision is -2kgm/

Explanation:

  One ball moves to the right and the other moves opposite  and momentum is a vector quantity so that considering the direction

Initial momenta are        P₁=2x3=6kgm/s        P₂=4x(-2)=-8kgm/s      

Final momentum is the vector sum of P(final)= 6-8= -2 kgm/s

in terms of the wavelength of the sound wave, about how far below the open end of the resonance tube is the first resonant posit
notka56 [123]

The first resonant position below the open end of the resonance tube is; <em><u>one-quarter of the wavelength</u></em>

In the event of the first resonant position in a resonance tube, there will be a maximum air displacement which is only one antinode right at the open end where the motion is constrained.

However, there will be no displacement at the closed end which means another one node right at the closed end where air is halted.

This means that the standing wave will have one-quarter of the wavelength in the test tube.

Thus;

L = ¼λ

The height of an object dropped from the top of a 64-foot building is given by h(t)=-16t^2+64. How long will it take the object
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

1.86 s

Explanation:

Given the expression

h(t) = -16t²+ 64...................... Equation 1

Where h = height of the object, t = time it will take the object to hit the ground.

Given: h = 64 foot.

We have to concert from foot to meters

If 1 foot =  0.3048 meters

Then, 64 foot = 0.3048×64 = 19.51 meters.

We substitute the value of h into equation

119.51 = -16t²+64

-16t² = 199.51-64

-16t² = 55.51

t² = 55.51/-16

t² = 3.469

t = √3.469

t = 1.86 s.

Hence it will take the object 1.86 s to hit the ground.
