The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660. A beam of white light in t

his glass strikes the glass–air interface at a 22.50° angle of incidence and refracts out into air. What is the angular separation between the red and violet components of the spectrum that emerges from the glass?4

Answer:

0.33 degree

Explanation:

refractive index for red light = 1.62

refractive index for violet light = 1.66

angle of incidence, i = 22.5 degree

Use Snell's law for the red light

refractive index for red light = Sin i / Sin r

Where r be the angle of refraction for red light

1.62 = Sin 22.5 / Sin r

Sin r = 0.2362

r = 13.66 degree

Use Snell's law for the violet light

refractive index for violet light = Sin i / Sin r'

Where r' be the angle of refraction for violet light

1.66 = Sin 22.5 / Sin r'

Sin r' = 0.23053

r' = 13.33 degree

Angular separation between red and violet components = r - r'

                                                                  = 13.66 - 13.33 = 0.33 degree

Nuclear fission formula by the looks of it. Possibly how Professor Lisa Meitner realised that she had split the atomic nucleus. The Xenon and the Strontium (Xe and Sr) would presumably show up in a radio chemical assaying test at her university. 
A few years later, Professor J Robert Oppenheimer watched a nuclear test somewhere near Los Alamos, US and lamented "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". Shortly thereafter, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were razed to the ground and annihilated by nuclear bombs. Professor Meitner, probably inadvertently, had got the keys to the doors to "nuclear hell", and JRO ended up turning them. Something like that maybe, and a very harrowing and tumultuous period in human history.
Note in the fission equation, that out come two neutrons. They go off and produce a similar fission in another U235 nucleus into a chain reaction which, i not moderated by, say, Boron, can end up as a "mushroom cloud".

A 1400 kg wrecking ball hangs from a 20-m-long cable. the ball is pulled back until the cable makes an angle of 30.0 ∘ with the
anastassius [24]

From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m. 

The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.

Find the mass of an object on planet F if its weight is 650 N (g = 13m/s^2)
Andrew [12]

Answer:

the object's mass is 50 kg

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law to solve for the mass:

F = m * a , then   m = F / a

In our case, the acceleration is the gravitational acceleration on the planet, and the force is the weight of the object on the planet. So we get:

m = w / a = 650 N / 13 m/s^2 = 50 kg

Then, the object's mass is 50 kg.

Show all your work clearly on the scratch paper) Two in-phase loudspeakers that emit sound with the same frequency are placed al
Darya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s.

Given:

distance 'd' = 5 m

L = 12 m

It can be concluded that path difference must be equal to half of the wavelength when person is observing destructive interference'y' at 1 m distance from the equidistant position

Since

λ/2 = yd/L

λ/2 = (1 x 5)/12

λ = 0.833m

Frequency of the sound is given by,

f = v / λ => 343 / 0.833

f=411.6 Hz
