The refractive index n of transparent acrylic plastic (full name Poly(methyl methacrylate)) depends on the color (wavelength) of

the light passing through it. At wavelength 486.1 nm (blue, designated with letter F) -> nF=1.497, and at wavelength 656.3 nm (red, designated with letter C) -> nC=1.488. Two beams (one of each wavelength) are prepared to coincide, and enter the flat polished surface of an acrylic block at angle of 45 arc degree measured from the normal to the surface. What is the angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block?

Answer:

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block is

$\theta _d =0.19 ^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for blue light is $n_F = 1.497$

The wavelength of the blue light is $F = 486.1 nm = 486.1 *10^{-9} \ m$

The refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for red light is $n_C = 1.488$

The wavelength of the red light is $C = 656.3 nm = 656.3 *10^{-9} \ m$

The incidence angle is $i = 45^o$

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the blue light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

$r_F = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) * n_a }{n_F} ]$

Where $n_a$ is the refractive index of air which have a value of $n_a = 1$

So

$r_F = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) * 1 }{ 1.497} ]$

$r_F = 28.18^o$

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the red light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

$r_C = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) * n_a }{n_C} ]$

Where $n_a$ is the refractive index of air which have a value of $n_a = 1$

So

$r_C = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) * 1 }{ 1.488} ]$

$r_F = 28.37^o$

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block

$\theta _d = r_C - r_F$

substituting values

$\theta _d = 28.37 - 28.18$

$\theta _d =0.19 ^o$

according to newton's law of universal gravitation, in which of the following situations does the gravitational attraction betwe

Alex17521 [72]

Explanation:

The force acting between two masses is given by :

$F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}$ ........(1)

Where

G is the universal gravitational constant

$m_1\ and\ m_2$ are masses

d is the distance between two masses

It is clear from equation (1) that the gravitational attraction between the bodies always increases if the masses of bodies increases and when the separation between masses decreases.

So, the correct answer is "the masses increase, and the distance between the centers of mass decreases". This is because the force of gravitation is directly proportional to the masses and inversely proportional to the separation.

To transfer the visitor's city map into a two dimensional map,

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Imagine you have an orange. This is your imaginary Earth. When you look at it in any direction, you won’t be able to see all sides of it. But when you peel the orange, flatten and stretch it out, you can begin to see everything.

Similarly, a map projection is a method by which cartographers translate a sphere or globe into a two-dimensional representation. In other words, a map projection systematically renders a 3D ellipsoid (or spheroid) of Earth to a 2D map surface.

An isotropic point source emits light at wavelength 510 nm, at the rate of 170 W. A light detector is positioned 410 m from the

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

$\frac{dB}{dt} = 3.03 \times 10^6 T/s$

Explanation:

As we know that the power emitted by the source is given as

$P = 170 W$

now we know that

$P = \frac{N}{t} (\frac{hc}{\lambda})$

now we know that energy density is given as

$u = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0} + \frac{\epsilon_0 E^2}{2}$

now we have

$E = B c$

$u = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}$

intensity is defined as

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

now we have

$\frac{I}{c} = u = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0}$ [/tex]

now we have

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \omega B$

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{2\pi c B}{\lambda}$

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{2\pi c \sqrt{2\mu_0 I}}{\lambda\sqrt c}$

here we have

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

$I = \frac{170}{4\pi (410)^2}$

$I = 8.05 \times 10^{-5}$

now we have

$\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{2\pi\sqrt{2\mu_0 c (8.05 \times 10^{-5})}}{(510 nm)}$

$\frac{dB}{dt} = 3.03 \times 10^6 T/s$

When are zeros significant when found to the trailing (to the right) of the decimal point?

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Usually, zeroes are found to the right of a decimal point in significant numbers if you have something like $7\frac{1}{100000000000000000000000000}$ (exaggerated example of course), which is when you have a number that is very very close to the integer before it, but isn't that integer.
