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

State the law of conservation of energy​
storchak [24]

Answer:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. ... For instance, chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy when a stick of dynamite explodes.

Two 3.0 μC charges lie on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at What is the potential (relative to infinity) due to the
Airida [17]

Complete Question:

Two 3.0µC charges lie on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at 2.0m. A third point is located at 6.0m. What is the potential at this third point relative to infinity? (The value of k is 9.0*10^9 N.m^2/C^2)

Answer:

The potential due to these charges is 11250 V

Explanation:

Potential V is given as;

V =\frac{Kq}{r}

where;

K is coulomb's constant = 9x10⁹ N.m²/C²

r is the distance of the charge

q is the magnitude of the charge

The first charge located at the origin, is 6.0 m from the third charge; the potential at this point is:

V =\frac{9X10^9 X3X10^{-6}}{6} =4500 V

The second charge located at 2.0 m, is 4.0 m from the third charge; the potential at this point is:

V =\frac{9X10^9 X3X10^{-6}}{4} =6750 V

Total potential due to this charges  = 4500 V + 6750 V = 11250 V

Which of these would best describe the outcome of increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules in the above picture?
Lyrx [107]

A) The temperature will increase.

Kinetic energy is the intrinsic energy carried by an object in motion.

Explanation:

Increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules means that molecules rapidly. This causes an increased rate of collision between the molecules and between the molecules and the walls of the container. Most of these collisions are inelastic meaning that some of the energy in the collisions is lost as heat energy to the environment. This means the system becomes hotter.
