In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 570 travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 16.5 . When a slab of g

lass with a thickness of 0.865 is placed in the light beam, with the beam incident along the normal to the parallel faces of the slab, it takes the light a time of 21.3 to travel from the laser to the photocell. What is the wavelength of the light in the glass? Use 3.00×10^8 m/s for the speed of light in a vacuum.

Answer:

Wavelength is calculated as 213.9 nm

Solution:

As per the question:

Wavelength of light = 570 nm

Time, t = 16.5 ns

Thickness of glass slab, d = 0.865 ns

Time taken to travel from laser to the photocell, t' = 21.3

Speed of light in vacuum, c = 3\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Now,

To calculate the wavelength of light inside the glass:

After the insertion of the glass slab into the beam, the extra time taken by light to cover a thickness t = 0.865 m is:

t' - t = 21.3 - 16.5 = 4.8 ns

Thus

\frac{d}{\frac{c}{n}} - \frac{d}{v} = 4.8\times 10^{- 9}

\frac{0.8656}{\frac{c}{n}} - \frac{0.865}{v} = 4.8\times 10^{- 9}

where

n = refractive index of the medium

v = speed of light in medium

\frac{0.8656}{\frac{c}{n}} - \frac{0.865}{v} = 4.8\times 10^{- 9}

n = \frac{4.8\times 10^{- 9}\times 3.00\times 10^{8}}{0.865} + 1

n = 2.66

Now,

The wavelength in the glass:

\lambda' = \frac{\lambda }{n}

\lambda' = \frac{570}{2.66} = 213.9\ nm

In this reaction diagram which part represents the doffrence in energy between the reactants and the products?
Annette [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C. G.

Explanation:

In this reaction diagram, there is a representation of the reaction profile. The reaction profile shows the change that takes place during a reaction in the energy of reactants or substrate and products. In this profile, activation energy looks like a hump in the line, and the minimum energy required to initiate the reaction.

The overall energy of the reaction, including or excluding activation energy depends on the nature of the reaction if it is exothermic or endothermic. and products are represented by the G which shows the difference between the energy of the reactants and products.

Electronics and inhabitants of the International Space Station generate a significant amount of thermal energy that the station
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

4462.0927 W

Explanation:

\epsilon = Emissivity of the panel = 1

\sigma = Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.67\times 10^{-8}\ W/m^2K^4

T = Temperature = (273.15+6)

Area of the panel is given by

A=2\times 1.8\times 3.6\\\Rightarrow A=12.96\ m^2

The power radiated is given by

P=\epsilon \sigma AT^4\\\Rightarrow P=1\times 5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 12.96\times (273.15+6)^4\\\Rightarrow P=4462.0927\ W

The power radiated from each panel is 4462.0927 W

Is the alien theory a scientific claim? Why or why not?
spin [16.1K]
I'm not sure what the alien Theory says or if there really is such a theory. If the theory says that aliens definitely exist and that they have visited Earth in the past then the theory is totally and completely without any kind of support. It's not scientific in any way because there is no evidence for such a claim. It may be thought to be probable but no solid evidence has ever been presented.
