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

Len [333]

Answer:

B) 2I

Explanation:

The equation that relates voltage, current and resistance is V=RI.

The equation for the resistance of a material in terms of its resistivity, length and cross-sectional area is R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, the length is divided by 2 while keeping its resistivity (since it's the same material) and area, which means the resistance gets divided by 2. Then, looking at the equation I=V/R and keeping V constant, one deduces that since the resistance now is half than before then current now must be twice as before.

This is all intuitive in fact, cuting a homogeneous resistor in half and leaving the rest of the variables constant makes twice as easy for the electrons to cross the conductor, thus twice the current (one has to know that all the variables involved behave linearly, as the equations show).

Imagine a box sitting on a shelf. What forces are acting on the box?
romanna [79]

In case of an object sitting at rest on another base, there are two equal and opposite forces – Normal force and the gravity.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

When an object is placed at rest position on another object, there is a force exerted by the surfaces of the two contact objects. This force is denoted as Normal Force.

When an object such as a box is placed on a shelf, its surface exerts a contact force on the base of the shelf- The Normal force directed upward. Meanwhile, the gravity stays at its action and tries to pull the box towards itself.  

Both of these forces however are equal and opposite and therefore, there is zero net force on the box. That's why it remains at rest, holding on Newton's third law.

A ball has mass of 140g. what is the force to accelerate the ball at 25m/s
Fittoniya [83]

We know, F = m * a

Here, m = 140 g = 0.140 Kg

a = 25 m/s2

It would be: F = 0.140 * 25 = 3.5 N

So your answer would be 3.5N
