What is the bouncing of light when it changes media

1 answer:

5 0

When light passes from one medium to another, part of it continues on
into the new medium, while the rest of it bounces away from the boundary,
back into the first medium.

The part of the light that continues on into the new medium is transmitted
light. Its forward progress at any point in its journey is transmission.

Its direction usually changes as it crosses the boundary. The bending is 
refraction.

The part of the light that bounces away from the boundary and heads back
into the first medium is reflected light. The process of bouncing is reflection.

A can of sardines is made to move along an x axis from x = 0.47 m to x = 1.20 m by a force with a magnitude given by F = exp(–8x

sattari [20]

If the force were constant or increasing, we could guess that the speed of the sardines is increasing. Since the force is decreasing but staying in contact with the can, we know that the can is slowing down, so there must be friction involved.
Work is the integral of (force x distance) over the distance, which is just the area under the distance/force graph.
The integral of exp(-8x) dx that we need is (-1/8)exp(-8x) evaluated from 0.47 to 1.20 .

I get 0.00291 of a Joule ... seems like a very suspicious solution, but for an exponential integral at a cost of 5 measly points, what can you expect. On the other hand, it's not really too unreasonable. The force is only 0.023 Newton at the beginning, and 0.000067 newton at the end, and the distance is only about 0.7 meter, so there certainly isn't a lot of work going on. The main question we're left with after all of this is: Why sardines ? ?

A Huge water tank is 2m above the ground if the water level on it is 4.9m high and a small opening is there at the bottom then t

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The speed of efflux of non-viscous water through the opening will be approximately 6.263 meters per second.

Explanation:

Let assume the existence of a line of current between the water tank and the ground and, hence, the absence of heat and work interactions throughout the system. If water is approximately at rest at water tank and at atmospheric pressure ( $P_{atm}$ ), then speed of efflux of the non-viscous water is modelled after the Bernoulli's Principle:

$P_{1} + \rho\cdot \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2} + \rho\cdot g \cdot z_{1} = P_{2} + \rho\cdot \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2} + \rho\cdot g \cdot z_{2}$

Where:

$P_{1}$ , $P_{2}$ - Water total pressures inside the tank and at ground level, measured in pascals.

$\rho$ - Water density, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Water speeds inside the tank and at the ground level, measured in meters per second.

$z_{1}$ , $z_{2}$ - Heights of the tank and ground level, measured in meters.

Given that $P_{1} = P_{2} = P_{atm}$ , $\rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{1} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $z_{1} = 6.9\,m$ and $z_{2} = 4.9\,m$ , the expression is reduced to this:

$\left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (6.9\,m) = \frac{v_{2}^{2}}{2} + \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (4.9\,m)$

And final speed is now calculated after clearing it:

$v_{2} = \sqrt{2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (6.9\,m-4.9\,m)}$

$v_{2} \approx 6.263\,\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of efflux of non-viscous water through the opening will be approximately 6.263 meters per second.
