Answer: speed of light in solid = 1.88 * 10^8 m/s

Frequency is constant

Explanation: The relationship between the velocity of light wave and wavelength is given by the formulae below

V = fλ

During refraction, the frequency of light is constant, thus we have that

V = kλ which implies that velocity is proportional to wavelength.

Hence, we have that

v1/ λ1 = v2/ λ2

Where v1 = velocity of light in air = 3 * 10^8 m/s

v2 = velocity of sound in solid

λ1 = wavelength of light in air = 670nm

λ2 = wavelength of light in solid = 420nm

By making v2 subject of formulae, we have that

v2 = v1 * λ2/ λ1

v2 = 3 * 10^8 * 420nm/ 670nm

v2 = 3 * 10^8 * 0.6268

v2 = 1.88 * 10 ^8 m/s

b)

During refraction the frequency of light wave is constant this is because light consist of photons which has energy. it energy needs to be constant and for energy (E=hf) to be constant, frequency would be constant too.

Whats the difference between momentum and impulse?
Eva8 [605]

There are three answers, the impulse is equal to the change in momentum of the system. The dimensions of these quantities are the same, namely mass times velocity. You can think of impulse as kind of the "net effect" that a force has in changing the state of motion of a system.

Our Sun shines bright with a luminosity of 3.828 x 1025 Watt. Her energies
kifflom [539]

Answer:

a)   E = 1.58 10²¹ J , b) Oil = 4,236 107 liter ,  e)   T = 54.3 C

Explanation:

a) To calculate the energy that reaches Earth, let us combine that the power emitted by the Sun is distributed uniformly on a spherical surface

     I = P / A

     A = 4π r²

in this case the radius of the sphere is the distance from the Sun to Earth r = 1.5 10¹¹ m

     I = P / A

     I = P / 4π r²

let's calculate

     I = 3,828 10²⁵/4 pi (1.5 10¹¹)²

     I = 1.3539 10²W / m² = 135.4 W / m2

the energy that reaches the disk of the Earth is

    E = I A

the area of ​​a disc

    A = π r²

    E = I π r²

where r is the radius of the Earth 6.37 10⁶ m

     E = 135.4 π(6.37 10⁶)

     E = 1,726 10¹⁶ W

This is the energy per unit of time that reaches Earth

    t = 1 dai (24h / 1day) (3600s / 1h) = 86400 s

     

    E = 1,826 10¹⁶ 86400

     E = 1.58 10²¹ J

b) for this part we can use a direct proportions rule

      Oil = 1.58 10²¹ (1 / 37.3 10⁶)

      Oil = 4,236 10⁷ liter

c) to silence the surface temperature of the Earth we use the Stefan-Bolztman Law

       P = σ A e T⁴

       T = \sqrt[4]{P/Ae}

nos indicate the refect, therefore the amount of absorbencies

       P_absorbed = 0.7 P

let's calculate

       T = REA (0.7 1.58 1021 / [pi (6.37 106) 2 1)

       T = RER (8,676 106)

       T = 54.3 C

b) Among the other factors that must be taken into account is the greenhouse effect, due to the absorption of gases from the atmosphere

Two identical loudspeakers that are 5.00 m apart and face toward each other are driven in phase by the same oscillator at a freq
Lunna [17]

Answer:0.0982 m

Explanation:

Given

distance between two loudspeaker is 5 m

frequency (f )=875 Hz

speed of sound (v)=344 m/s

Let x_0 be the smallest distance moved by observer then

Position of observer w.r.t to first speaker is

x_1=\frac{L}{2}-x_0

Position of observer w.r.t to second speaker is

x_2=\frac{L}{2}+x_0

\Delta x=2x_0

For Destructive interference

\Delta x=\left (  m+\frac{1}{2}\right )\cdot lambda

For minimum m=0

and \lambda =\frac{v}{f}

2x_0=\frac{v}{2f}

x_0=\frac{v}{4f}=\frac{344}{4\times 875}=0.0983 m
