Can light be reflected and refracted at the same time?

1 answer:

6 0

Yes, think of a window for example. When you look out of it, you can see whatever is beyond the window. Sometimes, you might even see your own reflection in the window, if the light rays hit the glass and reflect your image in the right direction. This is often debated in quantum mechanics because of the outcome of an interaction between two particles. Another example would be water in a lake or perhaps your pool. You can see into the water, but sometimes, at your own reflection as well.

Work and Power Practice Calculations

Elza [17]

Answer:

1. W = F d = 20 N * 6 m = 120 J

2. F = W / d = 60 J / 2 m = 30 N

3. d = W / F = 350 J / 85 N = 4.12 m

4. P = W / t = F d / t = 45 N * 9 m / 10 s = 40.5 Watts

5. W = P t = 500 W * 120 sec = 60,000 J

6. t = W / P = 550 J / 310 W = 1.77 sec

Answer:

A) 1000 kg

Explanation:

vf = vi + at

0 = 20 + (a)(10)

a = -2.0 m/s^2

F = ma

2000 = (m)(2)

m = 1000 kg

Answer: a) 1 b) 61 W c) 61 W

Explanation:

a) The Power Factor (also known as cos φ), is defined by the difference in phase between current and voltage, in a RLC series circuit, and is expressed as follows:

cos φ = R / Z = R / $\sqrt{(R)^{2} + (Xl -Xc)^{2} }$

In resonance, XL =XC, so the circuit behaves like it were purely resistive, so Z=R.

Replacing in the expression for power factor, we have:

cos φ = R/Z = R/R = 1

This means that in resonance, current and voltage are in phase each other.

b) The average power delivered by the source, in resonance, is simply the power dissipated at the resistance R, as follows:

Pavg = V² rms / R = V₀² / √2 / R = 61 W

c) If the circuit remains in resonance, the average power , which does not depends on frequency provided this condition remains, keeps the same, i.e. , 61 W.
