Answer:

Part a)

f_w = f_g = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz

Part b)

\lambda_w = 492 nm

\lambda_g = 437.3 nm

Part c)

v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s

v_g = 2.0 \times 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

frequency of light will not change with change in medium but it will depend on the source only

so here frequency of light will remain same in both water and glass and it will be same as that in air

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{656 \times 10^{-9}}

f = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz

Part b)

As we know that the refractive index of water is given as

\mu_w = 4/3

so the wavelength in the water medium is given as

\lambda_w = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_w}

\lambda_w = \frac{656 nm}{4/3}

\lambda_w = 492 nm

Similarly the refractive index of glass is given as

\mu_w = 3/2

so the wavelength in the glass medium is given as

\lambda_g = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_g}

\lambda_g = \frac{656 nm}{3/2}

\lambda_g = 437.3 nm

Part c)

Speed of the wave in water is given as

v_w = \frac{c}{\mu_w}

v_w = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{4/3}

v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s

Speed of the wave in glass is given as

v_g = \frac{c}{\mu_g}

v_g = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{3/2}

v_g = 2 \times 10^8 m/s

A vertical spring gun is used to launch balls into the air. If the spring is compressed by 4.9 cm, the ball of mass 5.5 g is lau
AleksandrR [38]

We know, by conservation of energy :

\dfrac{kx^2}{2}=mgh

Therefore,

\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}

Putting given values, we get :

\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}\\\\\dfrac{4.9^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{50.2}{2\times 50.2}\\\\x_2^2=2\times 4.9^2\\\\x_2 = 4.9\times \sqrt{2}\\\\x_2=6.93\ cm

Therefore, the spring be compressed to 6.93 cm to send the ball twice as high.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Thermodynamic Processes: An ideal gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its initial volume. The resulting pressure will
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:

P\cdot V = n \cdot R_{u}\cdot T (1)

Where:

P - Pressure.

V - Volume.

n - Molar quantity, in moles.

R_{u} - Ideal gas constant.

T - Temperature.

Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:

P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2} (2)

If we know that \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}, then the resulting pressure of the system is:

P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)

P_{2} = 3\cdot P_{1}

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

A gold wire that is 1.8 mm in diameter and 15 cm long carries a current of 260 mA. How many electrons per second pass a given cr
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

162500000.  

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of the wire , d= 1.8 mm

The length of the wire ,L = 15 cm

Current ,I = 260 m A

The charge on the electron ,e= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

We know that Current I is given as

I=\dfrac{q}{t}

I=Current

q=Charge

t=time

q= I t

q= 260 m t

The total number of electron = n

q= n e

n=\dfrac{260\times 10^{-3}\ t}{1.6\times 10^{-9}}

n=162500000 t

\dfrac{n}{t}=16250000

The number of electron passe per second will be 162500000.
