Light is incident on the left face of an isosceles prism; with an apex angle of 49o, such that the light exiting the right face

is parallel to its surface.
What is the index of refraction of the prism, if the angle of incidence on the left face side is 19o to the normal of the face? Light is incident towards the apex.

Answer:

\mu = 1.645

Explanation:

By Snell's law we know at the left surface

\theta_i = 19^o

\theta_r = ?

\mu_1 = 1

\mu_2 = \mu

now we have

1 sin19 = \mu sin\theta_r

0.33 = \mu sin\theta_r

now on the other surface we know that

angle of incidence = \theta_r'

\theta_e = 90

so again we have

\mu sin\theta_r' = 1 sin90

so we have

\theta_r = sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu}

\theta_r' = sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}

also we know that

\theta_r + \theta_r' = 49

sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu} + sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu} = 49

By solving above equation we have

\mu = 1.645

Identical forces act for the same length of time on two different masses. The change in momentum of the smaller mass is
xenn [34]

Answer:

Equal to change in momentum of larger mass.

Explanation:

We are given that

Two difference  masses .

Force act on both masses  for the same length of time.

We have to find the change in momentum of the smaller mass.

Let M and m are two masses

M>m

We know that

Change in momentum for large mass=F\Delta t

Change in momentum for small mass=F\Delta t

Because Force and length of time are same for both masses .

Hence, the change in momentum of smaller mass is equal to change in momentum of larger mass.

A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tank. the fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differential h
BartSMP [9]
Specific Gravity of the fluid = 1.25 
Height h = 28 in
 Atmospheric Pressure = 12.7 psia
 Density of water = 62.4 lbm/ft^3 at 32F
 Density of the Fluid = Specific Gravity of the fluid x Density of water = 1.25 x 62.4
 Density of the Fluid p = 78 lbm/ft^3
 Difference in pressure as we got the differential height, dP = p x g x h  dP = (78 lbm/ft^3) x (32.174 ft/s^2) x (28/12 ft) [ 1 lbf / 32.174 ft/s^2] [1 ft^2 /
144in^2]
 Difference in pressure = 1.26 psia
 (a) Pressure in the arm that is at Higher 
 P = Atmospheric Pressure - Pressure difference = 12.7 - 1.26 = 11.44 psia
 (b) Pressure in the tank that is at Lower
 P = Atmospheric Pressure + Pressure difference = 12.7 + 1.26 = 13.96psia

Assume that the electric field E is equal to zero at a given point. Does it mean that the electric potential V must also be equa
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

  • No, this doesn't mean the electric potential equals zero.

Explanation:

In electrostatics, the electric field \vec{E} is related to the gradient of the electric potential V with :

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} V (\vec{r})

This means that for constant electric potential the electric field must be zero:

V(\vec{r}) = k

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} V (\vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} k

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = -  (\frac{\partial}{\partial x} , \frac{\partial}{\partial y } , \frac{\partial}{\partial z}) k

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = -  (\frac{\partial k}{\partial x} , \frac{\partial k}{\partial y } , \frac{\partial k}{\partial z})

\vec{E} (\vec{r}) = -  (0,0,0)

This is not the only case in which we would find an zero electric field, as, any scalar field with gradient zero will give an zero electric field. For example:

V(\vec{r})= (x+2)^2 (y+4)^3 (z+5)^4

give an electric field of zero at point (0,0,0)
