A ray in plastic has a critical angle of 44.4 deg when trying to enter air. What is the index of refraction for the plastic?

Physics

Elena-2011 [213]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: 1.43

Explanation:

Given that:

C (critical angle) = 44.4°

n (refractive index of plastic) = ?

Apply the formula n = 1/sineC, the index of refraction for the plastic can be obtained by:

n = 1/sineC

n = 1/sine 44.4°

n = (1/0.6996)

n = 1.43

Thus, the index of refraction for the plastic is 1.43

for an ideal monoatomic gas, the internal energy U os due to the kinetic energy and U=3/2RT per mole.show that cv=3/2R per mole
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

i. Cv =3R/2

ii. Cp = 5R/2

Explanation:

i. Cv = Molar heat capacity at constant volume

Since the internal energy of the ideal monoatomic gas is U = 3/2RT and Cv = dU/dT

Differentiating U with respect to T, we have

= d(3/2RT)/dT

= 3R/2

ii. Cp - Molar heat capacity at constant pressure

Cp = Cv + R

substituting Cv into the equation, we have

Cp = 3R/2 + R

taking L.C.M

Cp = (3R + 2R)/2

Cp = 5R/2

An engineer wishes to design a curved exit ramp for a toll road in such a way that a car will not have to rely on friction to ro
Dafna11 [192]

To solve this problem we will make a graph that allows us to understand the components acting on the body. In this way we will have the centripetal Force and the Force by gravity generating a total component. If we take both forces and get the trigonometric ratio of the tangent we would have the angle is,

T_x = nsinA = \frac{mv^2}{r}

T_y = ncosA = mg

Dividing both.

tan A = \frac{v^2}{rg}

tan A = \frac{11.7^2}{50*9.8}

A = tan^{-1} (0.279367)

A = 15.608\°

Therefore the angle that should the curve be banked is 15.608°

You have a set of calipers that can measure thicknesses of a few inches with an uncertainty of ± 0.005 inches. You measure the t
Bond [772]

Answer:

a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in , b) the number of decks is 5

Explanation:

a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated

        x = d / 52

        x = 0.590 / 52

        x = 0.011346 in

Let's look for uncertainty

       Δx = dx /dd Δd

       Δx = 1/52 Δd

       Δx = 1/52  0.005

       Δx = 0.0001 in

The result of the calculation is

        x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in

b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is

           #_cards = n 52

The formula for thickness is

           x = d / n 52

Uncertainty

          Δx = 1 / n 52  Δd

         n = 1/52 Δd / Δx

         n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002

         n = 4.8

Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5
