Refraction can occur only when light is

Physics
1 answer:
mr_godi [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

We have learned that refraction occurs as light passes across the boundary between two media. Refraction is merely one of several possible boundary behaviors by which a light wave could behave when it encounters a new medium or an obstacle in its path.

While excavating the tomb of Tutankhamen (d. 1325 BC), archeologists found a sling made of linen. The sling could hold a stone i
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

L = 2.83 J.s

Explanation:

The formula for the angular momentum of the stone is given as follows:

L = mvr

where,

L = angular momentum of the stone  = ?

m = mass of the stone = 0.1 kg

v = linear velocity of the stone = rω

r = radius of circular path = 1.5 m

ω = angular speed of the stone = (2 rev/s)(2π rad/1 rev) = 4π rad/s

Therefore,

L = mvr = m(rω)r

L = mr²ω

using values, we get:

L = (0.1 kg)(1.5 m)²(4π rad/s)

<u>L = 2.83 J.s</u>

Estimate the peak wavelength for radiation from ice at 273 k.
Andrews [41]
<h2>Answer: 10615 nm</h2>

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Wien's displacement law, which relates the wavelength  \lambda_{p} where the intensity of the radiation is maximum (also called peak wavelength) with the temperature T of the black body.

In other words:

<em>There is an inverse relationship between the wavelength at which the emission peak of a blackbody occurs and its temperature.</em>

Being this expresed as:

\lambda_{p}.T=C    (1)

Where:

T is in Kelvin (K)

\lambda_{p} is the <u>wavelength of the emission peak</u> in meters (m).

C is the <u>Wien constant</u>, whose value is 2.898(10)^{-3}m.K

From this we can deduce that the higher the black body temperature, the shorter the maximum wavelength of emission will be.

Now, let's apply equation (1), finding \lambda_{p}:

\lambda_{p}=\frac{C}{T}   (2)

\lambda_{p}=\frac{2.898(10)^{-3}m.K}{273K}  

Finally:

\lambda_{p}=10615(10)^{-9}m=10615nm  This is the peak wavelength for radiation from ice at 273 K, and corresponds to the<u> infrared.</u>

How much work is done by the force lifting a
Ann [662]

The work done in lifting the hamburger is equal to the increase in gravitational potential energy of the hamburger, given by

W=\Delta U=mg \Delta h

where

m=0.1 kg is the mass of the hamburger

g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

\Delta h=0.3 m is the increase in height of the hamburger


Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

W=(0.1 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(0.3 m)=0.3 J


So, the correct answer is

(3) 0.3 J
