.00 × 10 8 m/s for red light. (a) Calculate the range of the index of refraction of the material for visible light. (b) A white light is incident on the medium from air, making an angle of 30.0° with the normal. Compare the angles of refraction for violet light and red light.

Answer:

a. The refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56

b. 18.7° for violet light and 19.5° for red light.

c. 33.7° for violet light and 35.3° for red light.

Explanation:

a. The refractive index of an object is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in the object.

Mathematically,

n = \frac{c}{v}

The speed of violet light in the object is 1.9 * 10^8 m/s.

The speed of red light in the object is 2 * 10^8 m/s

Hence, the refractive index for violet light is:

n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{1.9 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.56

and for red light, it is:

n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{2 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.5

Hence, the refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56.

b. The refractive index is also the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction.

n = \frac{sin(i)}{sin(r)}

The angle of incidence is 30°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

1.56 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.56}  = \frac{0.5}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3205\\\\r = 18.7^o

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

1.5 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.5}  = \frac{0.5}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3333\\\\r = 19.5^o

The angle of refraction for red light is larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 30°.

c. The angle of incidence is 60°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

1.56 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.56}  = \frac{0.8660}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5551\\\\r = 33.7^o

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

1.5 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.5}  = \frac{0.8660}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5773\\\\r = 35.3^o

The angle of refraction for red light is still larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 60°.

Initially sliding with a speed of 1.9 m/s, a 1.8 kg block collides with a spring and compresses it 0.35 m before coming to rest.
Alika [10]
Let k =  the force constant of the spring (N/m).

The strain energy (SE) stored in the spring when it is compressed by a distance x=0.35 m is
SE = (1/2)*k*x²
     = 0.5*(k N/m)*(0.35 m)²
     = 0.06125k J

The KE (kinetic energy) of the sliding block is
KE = (1/2)*mass*velocity²
     = 0.5*(1.8 kg)*(1.9 m/s)²
     = 3.249 J

Assume that negligible energy is lost when KE is converted into SE.
Therefore
0.06125k = 3.249
k = 53.04 N/m

Answer:  53 N/m  (nearest integer)

An airplane starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate of 3.00 m/s2 for 30.0 s before leaving the ground. a. How far di
rosijanka [135]

The formula we can use in this case is:

d = v0t + 0.5 at^2

v = at + v0

where,

d = distance travelled

v0 = initial velocity = 0 since at rest

t = time travelled

a = acceleration

v = final velocity when it took off

 

a. d = 0 + 0.5 * 3 * 30^2

d = 1350 m

 

b. v = 3 * 30 + 0

<span>v = 90 m/s</span>

a cart's initial velocity is +3.0 meters per second. What is its final velocity after accelerating at a rate of 1.5m/s2 for 8.0
Andreas93 [3]

The final velocity is +15.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the cart is a uniformly accelerated motion (=at constant acceleration), therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the velocity at time t

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the cart in this problem, we have:

u = +3.0 m/s (initial velocity)

a=1.5 m/s^2 (acceleration)

t = 8.0 s (time)

Substituting, we find the final velocity:

v=3.0+(1.5)(8.0)=+15.0 m/s

Ch 27 HW Exercise 27.12 10 of 20 Constants A horizontal rectangular surface has dimensions 2.80 cm by 3.15 cm and is in a unifor
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.88 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

The dimension of rectangular surface is 2.80 cm by 3.15 cm. The area of rectangular surface is, A=8.82\ cm^2=0.000882\ m^2

Angle between the uniform magnetic field and the horizontal, \theta=31

Magnetic flux, \phi=4\times 10^{-4}\ Wb

Let B is the magnitude of magnetic field in which the rectangular surface is placed. It is given by :

\phi=BA\ cos\theta

\theta is the angle between magnetic field and the area

Here, \theta=90-31=59^{\circ}

B=\dfrac{\phi}{A\ cos\theta}

B=\dfrac{4\times 10^{-4}}{0.000882\times cos(59)}

B = 0.88 T

So, the magnitude of magnetic field is 0.88 T. Hence, this is the required solution.
