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

What will be the force if the particle's charge is tripled and the electric field strength is halved? Give your answer in terms
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

1.5F

Explanation:

Using

E= F/q

Where F= force

E= electric field

q=charge

F= Eq

So if qis tripled and E is halved we have

F= (E/2)3q

F= 1.5Eq=>> 1.5F

The distance recorded for riding a motorcycle on its rear wheel without stopping is more than 320 km! Suppose the rider in this
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

<h3>14.97m/s</h3>

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of the car u = 8m/s

Distance travelled by the rider S = 40m

Acceleration a = 2m/s²

Required

rider's velocity after the acceleration v

Using the equation of motion

v² = u²+2as

v² = 8²+2(2)(40)

v² = 64+160

v² = 224

v = √224

v = 14.97m/s

Hence the rider's velocity after the acceleration is 14.97m/s
