Which of the following would not make a good insulator

At which angle must a laser beam enter the water for no refraction to occur?

abruzzese [7]

Light that enters the new medium perpendicular to the surface keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).

Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.

Moral of the story: If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it straight on to the surface, perpendicular to it.

The sound produced by the loudspeaker in the drawing has a frequency of 11999 Hz and arrives at the microphone via two different

const2013 [10]

The speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency, f = 11999Hz

Wavelength, λ = 0.03m

Velocity, v = ?

Sound speed in the tube is calculated by multiplying the frequency v by the wavelength λ.

As the sound loudness changed from a maximum to a minimum, then we know the sound interference in the case changed from constructive interference (the two sound waves are in phase, i.e. peaks are in a line with peaks and so the troughs), to a destructive interference (peaks coinciding with troughs). The least distance change required to cause such a change is a half wavelength distance, so:

λ/2 = 0.03/2

λ = 0.06m

We know,

v = λf

v = 0.06 X 11999Hz

v = 719.94m/s

Therefore, the speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

An electron that has a velocity with x component 2.6 × 106 m/s and y component 3.2 × 106 m/s moves through a uniform magnetic fi

elena55 [62]

Answer:

a) $\vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$ , b) $\vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$

Explanation:

a) The magnetic force experimented by a particle has the following vectorial form:

$\vec F_{B} = q\cdot \vec v \times \vec B$

The charge of the electron is equal to $-1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C$ . Then, cross product can be solved by using determinants:

$\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\-4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &-5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}$

The magnetic force is:

$\vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$

b) The charge of the proton is equal to $1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C$ . Then, cross product has the following determinant:

$\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}$

The magnetic force is:

$\vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$

A microwave oven operates at 2.00 ghz . what is the wavelength of the radiation produced by this appliance? express the waveleng

yan [13]

Since frequency and wavelength have inverse relationship. It can be expressed by the equation: Î˝.Î» = c Where, v = frequency of the electromagnetic wave. Î» = it's wavelength c = the speed of light in a vacuum. v = 2.00 Ghz x 10^9 Hz / 1 Ghz = 2.00 x 10^9 Hz that means that in one second it covers 2.00 x 10^9 cycles. Î» = 3.10^8 m/s / 2.00 x 10^9 /s = 1.25E-10 nanometers

If you hold a bar magnet in each hand and bring your hands together, will the force be attractive or repulsive if the magnets ar

Law Incorporation [45]

a) The force is repulsive

b) The force is attractive

Explanation:

Every magnet has a magnetic field around it. It is possible to distinguish two different poles in the magnet, according to the direction of the magnetic field: in particular, the lines of the field go out from the North pole and go into the South Pole. When a magnet is broken, two new magnets are formed, each of them having its own north and south pole.

The force between two magnets can be either attractive or repulsive, depending on which poles are facing each other. We have the following situation:

The magnetic force between two like poles (north-north and south-south) is repulsive
The magnetic force between two opposite poles (north-south) is attractive

Therefore, we have the following situations in this problem:

a)

Here we are holding the two north poles together: since they are like poles, they repel each other, so the force in this case is repulsive

b)

Here we are holding a north pole and a south pole together: since they are opposite poles, they attract each other, so the force in this case is attractive
