What are some ways that light can be controlled and what does it do to the light

1 answer:

7 0

-- pass the light through a lens
The path of the light is bent (refracted) to a new direction.

-- bounce the light off a shiny surface
The light is sent back (reflected) in the direction from which it arrived.

-- pass the light through a prism
The light is spread out according to the different wavelengths
that may be in it.

-- put something black in the light's path
The light is completely absorbed and is never seen again.

-- turn the light off
The source stops emitting light.

-- throw a towel over the lamp
The light is absorbed in the towel, and not seen outside of it.

A pulse of light takes 3.00 ns to travel through air from an emitter to a detector. When a piece of transparent material with a

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

(a) $1.75\times10^8\text{ m/s}$

(b) 1.71

Explanation:

(a) The difference in the times of travel in the two case = $3.20 - 3.00 = 0.20\text{ ns} = 2.0\times10^{-9}\text{ s}$

This difference is the time in the transparent material. With a thickness of 35.0 cm, the speed in the material is

$v = \dfrac{35 cm}{2.0\times10^{-9}\text{ s}}=\dfrac{0.35 m}{2.0\times10^{-9}\text{ s}} = 1.75\times10^8\text{ m/s}$

(b) The refractive index of the material is the ratio of the velocity of light in vacuum to its velocity in the material. Using speed of light in vacuum as $c = 3.00\times10^8\text{ m/s}$ , the refractive index, $n$ , is

$n=\dfrac{c}{v} = \dfrac{ 3.00\times10^8\text{ m/s}}{1.75\times10^8\text{ m/s}}= 1.71$

A)Watt (W) is a derived unit.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

a) Watt is a derived unit because it's not a “base unit.”

b) The atomic clock is suitable for measuring time because natural atomic oscillations happen at a higher frequency and as a result they are more stable.

c) There is fluctuation in time measured by a pendulum clock because the pendulum rod changes in length slightly with changes in temperature, causing changes in the rate of the clock. An increase in temperature causes the rod to expand, making the pendulum longer, so its period increases and the clock loses time.

D) The weight of an object is more at pole and less at equator of the earth because the distance of the pole is less than the distance of the equator from the centre of the earth.

e) The weight of an object on the moon is about one-sixth the weight it would have on the earth because the moon's gravitation force is determined by the mass and the size of the moon. Hence, the weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th its weight on the earth.
