What is meant by atmosperic refraction of light?

1 answer:

7 0

<span>Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... The term also applies to the refraction of sound.</span>

A 2.98 nF parallel-plate capacitor is charged to an initial potential difference of 49 V and then isolated. The dielectric mater

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Potential difference will be 151.9 volt

Explanation:

We have given capacitance of the capacitor $C=2.98nF=2.98\times 10^{-9}F$

Voltage V = 49 Volt

Dielectric constant K = 3.1

We have to find the potential difference

We know that when a dielectric medium is introduced then p[otential difference is increases by k times

As the dielectric constant k = 3.1

So potential difference will be = 3.1×49 = 151.9 volt

What is the maximum value of the magnetic field at a<br> distance2.5m from a 100-W light bulb?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the intensity included as the power transferred per unit area, where the area is the perpendicular plane in the direction of energy propagation.

Since the propagation occurs in an area of spherical figure we will have to

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

Replacing with the given power of the Bulb of 100W and the radius of 2.5m we have that

$I = \frac{100}{4\pi (2.5)^2}$

$I = 1.2738W/m^2$

The relation between intensity I and $E_{max}$

$I = \frac{E_max^2}{2\mu_0 c}$

Here,

$\mu_0$ = Permeability constant

c = Speed of light

Rearranging for the Maximum Energy and substituting we have then,

$E_{max}^2 = 2I\mu_0 c$

$E_{max}=\sqrt{2I\mu_0 c }$

$E_{max} = 2(1.2738)(4\pi*10^{-7})(3*10^8)$

$E_{max} = 30.982 V/m$

Finally the maximum magnetic field is given as the change in the Energy per light speed, that is,

$B_{max} = \frac{E_{max}}{c}$

$B_{max} = \frac{30.982 V /m}{3*10^8}$

$B_{max} = 1.03275 *10{-7} T$

Therefore the maximum value of the magnetic field is $B_{max} = 1.03275 *10{-7} T$

What magnification would be obtained if an eyepiece with a focal length of 0.38 m was placed on telescope?

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because the telescope's focal length was not provided. The formula to be used here is

Magnification = telescope's focal length/eyepiece's focal length

The eyepiece's focal length was provided in the question as 0.38 m.

NOTE: Magnification can be described as the power of an instrument (in this case telescope) to enlarge an object. It has no unit and thus the two focal lengths mentioned in the formula above must be in the same unit (preferably meters since one of them is in meters already).

Which wave has a longer period and how many times, the wave with a frequency of 7000Hz or the wave with a frequency of 21.000Hz?

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

I would say the answer is the wave of 21.000Hz

Explanation:

Because it has more frequency, and as more frequency you add, the time or longer period also increases.

A thermally insulated vessel containing a gas whose molar mass is equal to M and the ratio of specific heats cP /cV = γ moves wi

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp

Explanation:

Formula for Kinetic energy of the vessel = 1/2mv^2

Increase in internal energy Δu = nCVΔT

where n is the number of moles of the gas in vessel.

When the vessel is to stop suddenly, its kinetic energy will be used to increase the temperature of the gas

We say

1/2mv^2 = ∆u

1/2mv^2 = nCv∆T

Since n = m/M

1/2mv^2 = mCv∆T/M

Making ∆T subject of the formula we have

∆T = Mv^2/2Cv

Multiple the RHS by Cp/Cp

∆T = Mv^2/2Cv *Cp/Cp

Since Y = Cp/CV

∆T = Mv^2Y/2Cp k

Since CV = R/Y - 1

We could also have

∆T = Mv^2(Y - 1)/2R k
