Two plane mirrors make the angle α = 46.0 ° α=46.0° between them. A ray of light incident on one of the mirrors is reflected and

it hits the second mirror. Find the angle between the ray incident on the first mirror and the ray reflected off of the second mirror.

Answer:

β = 88°

Explanation:

Given,

Angle between the mirror, α = 46.0 °

Let 'i' and 'r' be the angle made with mirror by incident and reflected ray respectively.

Now,

α + i + r = 180°

i + r = 180°-46°

i + r = 134°

we know, angle of incidence and angle of reflection are equal.

Let β be the required angle

β + (180°-2i) + (180°-2r) = 180°

β -2(i+r) = -180

β = -180° + 2 x 134°

β = 88°

Hence, the angle between them is equal to 88°.

Sort the sentences based on whether they describe radio waves, visible light waves, or both.
valentina_108 [34]

The electromagnetic spectrum includes a continuous spectrum of wavelengths that include:

Radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays

The wavelength decreases from radio waves to gamma rays, whereas the energy increases along the same direction.

In the given example, radio waves have a lower energy and higher wavelength than visible light. The latter can be perceived by the human eye, whereas radio waves are not visible to the human eye.

1) They have colors = visible light

2) They can travel in a vacuum  = both

3) They have energy = both

4) They’re used to learn about  dust and gas clouds = radio waves

5) They’re used to find the  temperature of stars  = visible light

6)They’re invisible = radio waves

Calculate the radius of the orbit of a proton moving at 2.2x10^6 m/s in a magnetic field 0.7 T where v and B are perpendicular.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

3.28 cm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to know that a magnetic field B perpendicular to the movement of a proton that moves at a velocity v will cause a Force F experimented by the particle that is orthogonal to both the velocity and the magnetic Field. When a particle experiments a Force orthogonal to its velocity, the path it will follow will be circular. The radius of said circle can be calculated using the expression:

r = \frac{mv}{qB}

Where m is the mass of the particle, v is its velocity, q is its charge and B is the magnitude of the magnetic field.

The mass and  charge of a proton are:

m = 1.67 * 10^-27 kg

q = 1.6 * 10^-19 C

So, we get that the radius r will be:

r =  \frac{1.67 * 10^-27 kg * 2.2*10^6 m/s}{1.6 * 10^-19 C* 0.7 T} = 0.0328 m, or 3.28  cm.
