Fiber optics are an important part of our modern internet. In these fibers, two different glasses are used to confine the light

by total internal reflection at the critical angle for the interface between the core (ncore = 1.482 ) and the cladding (ncladding = 1.44).
Suppose you wanted the largest angle at which total internal reflection occurred to be θmax = 5 degrees. What index of refraction does the cladding need if the core is unchanged?

Answer:

n_cladding = 1.4764

Explanation:

We are told that θ_max = 5 °

Thus;

θ_max + θ_c = 90°

θ_c = 90° - θ_max

θ_c = 90° - 5°

θ_c = 85°

Now, critical angle is given by;

θ_c = sin^(-1) (n_cladding/n_core)

sin θ_c = (n_cladding/n_core)

n_cladding = (n_core) × sin θ_c

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

n_cladding = 1.482 × sin 85

n_cladding = 1.4764

A long electric cable is suspended above the earth and carries a current of 345 A parallel to the surface of the earth. The eart

Answer:

0.906 N

Explanation:

Formula for magnetic force acting on current carrying cable:

$F = IBLsin(\theta)$

Where I = 345A is the current in the wire, B = $5.6*10^{-5} T$ is the magnetic magnitude generated by Earth. L = 46.9 m is the cable length. $\theta = 88.2^o$ is the angle between vector B and cable direction.

$F = 345*5.6*10^{-5}*46.9*sin(88.2^o)$

$F = 0.906 N$

You've recently read about a chemical laser that generates a 20.0-cm-diameter, 26.0 MW laser beam. One day, after physics class,

aksik [14]

Answer :

(a). The speed of the block is 0.395 m/s.

(b). No

Explanation :

Given that,

Diameter = 20.0 cm

Power = 26.0 MW

Mass = 110 kg

diameter = 20.0 cm

Distance = 100 m

We need to calculate the pressure due to laser

Using formula of pressure

$P_{r}=\dfrac{I}{c}$

$P_{r}=\dfrac{P}{Ac}Put the value into the formula[tex]P_{r}=\dfrac{26.0\times10^{6}}{\pi\times(10\times10^{-2})^2\times3\times10^{8}}$

$P_{r}=2.75\ N/m^2$

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of force

$F=P\times A$

$F=P\times \pi r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$F=2.75\times\pi (0.01)^2$

$F=0.086\ N$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of force

$F=ma$

Put the value into the formula

$0.086=110\times a$

$a=\dfrac{0.086}{110}$

$a=0.000781\ m/s^2$

$a=7.81\times10^{-4}\ m/s^2$

(a). We need to calculate speed of the block

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2ad$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\sqrt{2\times7.81\times10^{-4}\times100}$

$v=0.395\ m/s$

(b). No because the velocity is very less.

Hence, (a). The speed of the block is 0.395 m/s.

(b). No

The equation for Potential Energy is PE = mgh. We have everything but the height of the ball. We have to solve for that using a one-dimensional motion equation:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx, where Δx is our displacement (the height we need for PE). Filling in and keeping in mind that at the max height of parabolic travel, the final velocity of the object is 0:

0 = (21.5)² + 2(-9.8)Δx and

0 = 462.25 - 19.6Δx and

-462.25 = -19.6Δx so

Δx = 23.58 m. Using this as the h in our PE equation:

PE = .19(9.8)(23.58) so

PE = 43.9 J, choice C.
