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

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:magnitude -5; angle 160°

Explanation:

Vector A is described as having magnitude 5 and angle -20°.

To get an equivalent vector, we either leave the magnitude at 5 and add 360° to the angle, or we reverse the magnitude to -5 and add 180° to the angle.

5 @ -20° = 5 @ 340°

5 @ -20° = -5 @ 160°

The third one is the answer.

what was the mass of a cannkn ball whose velocity is 200m/s if it were shot from 1000kg that recoils a 2m/s. Solve step by step​
Whitepunk [10]

The famous Newton’s Third Law states that “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.”

By using this,

10grams or 0.01kg of bullet with speed 400 m/sec and 5kg gun recoil with speed suppose ‘v’.

0.01×400=5×v

4/5=v

v=0.8m/sec ANSWER.

Why was miasma theory replaced?
GaryK [48]
In the mid of the 19th century the miasma theory was replaced by the germ theory of diseases (Maia 2013) The Greek physician Hippocrates (c.460- 377 B.C.E) believed that bad air could be the cause of any pestilences, the fatal epidemic.


Hope that helps!

What is the forms of energy given below.
Damm [24]

Answer:

Lightening of the table lamp

Explanation:

Energy has a different form of energy. In physics, the capacity of the form of energy is work. The energy can exist in the form of thermal, potential, kinetic, chemical and electrical, and nuclear. There are other forms of energy such as work and heat.

The energy is designated according to the nature of the objects. So that when heat transferred it has been changed into thermal. All the forms of energy are related to the motion of an object. Energy can neither destroyed or created.
