A light ray hits a plane surface at 20 degrees. What is the angle between the incident and reflected rays.

Physics
1 answer:
Eduardwww [97]3 years ago

Answer:

140°

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that the angle of redlection equals to the angle of incidence.

When light rays hit surface at 20°, they also leave the surface at the same angle

Since the whole surface has 180° then subtracting these two angles from total angle gives the the angle between the incident and reflected rays.

180°-20°-20°=140°

The angle of incidence and reflection are equal hence 140/2=70°

The question needed the angle between the incident and reflected rays which is already calculated as 140°

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.345 T

(b) 0.389 T

Solution:

As per the question:

Hall emf, V_{Hall} = 20\ mV = 0.02\ V

Magnetic Field, B = 0.10 T

Hall emf, V'_{Hall} = 69\ mV = 0.069\ V

Now,

Drift velocity, v_{d} = \frac{V_{Hall}}{B}

v_{d} = \frac{0.02}{0.10} = 0.2\ m/s

Now, the expression for the electric field is given by:

E_{Hall} = Bv_{d}sin\theta                            (1)

And

E_{Hall} = V_{Hall}d

Thus eqn (1) becomes

V_{Hall}d = dBv_{d}sin\theta

where

d = distance

B = \frac{V_{Hall}}{v_{d}sin\theta}                      (2)

(a) When \theta = 90^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin90} = 0.345\ T

(b) When \theta = 60^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin60} = 0.398\ T

17. Which of the following is the closest weight in newtons of a 7.0-kilogram
marusya05 [52]

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

Weight = (7.0 kg) x (gravity)

On Earth, where (gravity) is roughly 10 N/kg . . .

Weight = (7.0 kg) x (roughly 10 N/kg)

Weight = roughly 70 Newtons

That's <em>B </em>on Earth.

It would be some other number on other bodies.

I need to find the current resistance and voltage for each in this complicated circuit plz help
konstantin123 [22]

Explanation:

The 11Ω, 22Ω, and 33Ω resistors are in parallel.  That combination is in series with the 4Ω and 10Ω resistors.

The net resistance is:

R = 4Ω + 10Ω + 1/(1/11Ω + 1/22Ω + 1/33Ω)

R = 20Ω

Using Ohm's law, we can find the current going through the 4Ω and 10Ω resistors:

V = IR

120 V = I (20Ω)

I = 6 A

So the voltage drops are:

V = (4Ω) (6A) = 24 V

V = (10Ω) (6A) = 60 V

That means the voltage drop across the 11Ω, 22Ω, and 33Ω resistors is:

V = 120 V − 24 V − 60 V

V = 36 V

So the currents are:

I = 36 V / 11 Ω = 3.27 A

I = 36 V / 22 Ω = 1.64 A

I = 36 V / 33 Ω = 1.09 A

If we wanted to, we could also show this using Kirchhoff's laws.
