Answer:

Compared to the absorbed light, the frequency of the re-emitted light is <em>the same</em>.

Explanation:

The reason to why the light energy that is momentarily absorbed in glass and then re-emitted, compared to the absorbed light, the frequency of the re-emitted light is <em>the same</em> is because the wavelength of the absorbed light and the re-emitted light is the same. The energy carried by an electromagnetic wave is proportional to the frequency of the wave. The wavelength and frequency of the wave are connected via the speed of light:

<em>c = fλ</em>

<em>where</em>

  • <em>c is the speed of light</em>
  • <em>f is the frequency of light </em>
  • <em>λ is the wavelength of the light</em>

Though light does not have mass, it does have energy and it's energy is conserved. Therefore, in the conservation of energy, the energy of the absorbed light must be equal to the re-emitted light. This is why the frequency of the re-emitted light is <em>the same</em> as the frequency of the absorbed light.

The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660 . A beam of white light in
Sonja [21]

Answer:

10.16 degrees

Explanation:

Apply Snells Law for both wavelenghts

\(n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}\)

For red

(1.620)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin r)

For red, the angle is 35.45degrees

For violet

(1.660)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin v)

For violet, the angle is 45.6 degrees

The difference is 45.6- 35.45 = 10.16 degrees

What is the effect on the force of gravity between two objects if the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

B. It always decreases

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the foce of gravity is given by

F_G=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} where

G= Gravitational constant

m₁ = mass of first object

m₂ = mass of second object

r = the distance between both objects

If the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to the second object and the second object’s mass are both doubled, we have

F_{G2} =\frac{Gm_1(2m_2)}{(2r)^2} = \frac{2}{4} \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Therefore the gravitational force is halved. That is it will always decrease

A positively charged non-metal ball A is placed near metal ball B. Prove that if the charge on B is positive but of small magnit
nordsb [41]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Ball A is a non positively charged non metal while ball B is metal ball.

Given: The ball B positive charge of small magnitude

To prove: Balls will attract each other

IN this condition because of induction negative charges on the sphere B move to the side closer to sphere A,(induction charging) while the positive charges move to the side further away from sphere A. The polarization of charge on B will cause a greater attractive force than the repulsion of the like charges.

Hence the correct answer will be D .

The potential difference between the plates of an air-filled parallel-plate capacitor with a plate separation of 4 cm is 51 V. W
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field between plates of a parallel plate capacitor is uniform .

In a uniform electric field , relation between electric field and potential gradient is as follows

electric field = potential gradient               [ E = - dV / dl ]

in the given case ,

dV = 51 V  ,

dl = 4 cm

=  4 x 10⁻² m

E = 51 /  4 x 10⁻²

= 12.75 x 10² V / m

= 1275 V / m
