Answer:
3331.5 kg
Explanation:
Given:
Spring constant of the spring (k) = 24200 N/m
Frequency of oscillation (f) = 0.429 Hz
Let the mass be 'm' kg.
Now, we know that, a spring-mass system undergoes Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). The frequency of oscillation of SHM is given as:
Rewrite the above equation in terms of 'm'. This gives,
Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'm'. This gives,
Therefore, the mass of the truck is 3331.5 kg.
Answer:
a. The refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56
b. 18.7° for violet light and 19.5° for red light.
c. 33.7° for violet light and 35.3° for red light.
Explanation:
a. The refractive index of an object is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in the object.
Mathematically,
The speed of violet light in the object is .
The speed of red light in the object is
Hence, the refractive index for violet light is:
and for red light, it is:
Hence, the refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56.
b. The refractive index is also the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction.
The angle of incidence is 30°.
The angle of refraction for violet light will be:
And the angle of refraction for red light will be:
The angle of refraction for red light is larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 30°.
c. The angle of incidence is 60°.
The angle of refraction for violet light will be:
And the angle of refraction for red light will be:
The angle of refraction for red light is still larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 60°.
