Why do you see objects when you shine a flashlight in a dark room?​

anzhelika [568]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

We see objects in a dark room due to the emission of light photons which are sensitive to our eyes.

Darkness is simply a terminology used to describe the absence of light. Visible light to human is a component of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our eyes have receptors that picks the photons which light releases.

The particles of light are called photons.

  • When a torch is shines. It produces light due to emission of light by excitation of the metal in the bulb.
  • The light is in form of photons that spreads and travels in all direction in a room.
  • When they impinge on other bodies, they cause them to excite and release their own photons
  • Photons from the different parts helps to depict an object as it is.
  • The photo-receptors in our eyes picks up the photon and interprets it in our visual faculty.

A thin film of oil of thickness t is floating on water. The oil has index of refraction no = 1.4. There is air above the oil. Wh
kkurt [141]

Answer:

t = 120.5 nm

Explanation:

given,    

refractive index of the oil = 1.4

wavelength of the red light = 675 nm

minimum thickness of film = ?

formula used for the constructive interference

2 n t = (m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda

where n is the refractive index of oil

t is thickness of film

for minimum thickness

m = 0

2 \times 1.4 \times t = (0+\dfrac{1}{2})\times 675

t = \dfrac{0.5\times 675}{2\times 1.4}

        t = 120.5 nm

hence, the thickness of the oil is t = 120.5 nm

A paper clip that has a mass of 1.5 grams is thrown into the air and initially has a kinetic energy
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

v = 4.2 \ m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of the paper clip, m = 1.5 \ g = 0.0015 \ kg

Kinetic energy, K = 0.013 \ \rm J

Let the velocity of the paper clip when it is thrown be <em>v</em>.

Thus,

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

0.013 = 0.5 \times 0.0015 \times v^{2}

\Rightarrow \ v = 4.16 \ m/s

v = 4.2 \ m/s.  (rounding to nearest tenth)

A soccer player takes a corner kick, lofting a stationary ball 30.0° above the horizon at 18.0 m/s. If the soccer ball has a mas
Radda [10]

Answer:

change in momentum, \Delta p=7.65 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

  • \Delta p_x= 6.6251 \,kg.m.s^{-1}
  • \Delta p_y= 3.825 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

Average Force, F=144.3396\,N

  • F_x=125.0018\,N
  • F_y=72.1698\,N

Explanation:

Given:

angle of kicking from the horizon, \theta= 30^{\circ}

velocity of the ball after being kicked, v=18 m.s^{-1}

mass of the ball, m=0.425\, kg

time of application of force, t=5.3\times 10^{-2}\,s

We know, since body is starting from the rest

\Delta p=m.v.....................(1)

\Delta p=0.425\times 18

\Delta p=7.65 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

Now the components:

\Delta p_x= 7.65\times cos 30^{\circ}

\Delta p_x= 6.6251 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

similarly

\Delta p_y= 7.65\times sin 30^{\circ}

\Delta p_y= 3.825 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

also, impulse

I=F\times t.........................(2)

where F is the force applied for t time.

Then from eq. (1) & (2)

F\times t=m.v

F\times 5.3\times 10^{-2}= 7.65

F=144.3396\,N

Now, the components

F_x=144.3396\times cos 30^{\circ}

F_x=125.0018\,N

&

F_y=144.3396\times sin 30^{\circ}

F_y=72.1698\,N
