Answer:

<em>The wavelength of water = 571.43 nm</em>

Explanation:

Refractive index of water = wave length of light in air/wave length of light in water

R.d = λ₁/λ₂.................. Equation 1

making λ₂ the subject of equation 1

λ₂ = λ₁/R.d...................... Equation 2

R.d = refractive index of water , λ₁ = wave length of light in air, λ₂ = wave length of light in water

<em>Given: R.d = 1.33, λ₁ = 760nm</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

λ₂  = 760/1.33

<em>λ₂  = 571.43 nm</em>

<em>Therefore the wavelength of water = 571.43 nm</em>

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5.3 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for him to fall 7m.

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 7 + (0) t + ½ (-9.8) t²

0 = 7 − 4.9 t²

t ≈ 1.20 s

Now find the velocity he needs to travel 6.3m in that time.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

6.3 = 0 + v₀ (1.20) + ½ (0) (1.20)²

v₀ ≈ 5.27 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the man must run with a speed of 5.3 m/s.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Resistance, R=0.529\ \Omega

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage of the battery, V = 9 volts

Current produced in the circuit, I = 17 A

We need to find the resistance when shorted by a wire of negligible resistance. It is a case of Ohm's law. The voltage is given by :

V=IR

R=\dfrac{V}{I}

R=\dfrac{9\ V}{17\ A}

R=0.529\ \Omega

So, the resistance in the circuit is 0.529 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

A charged paint is spread in a very thin uniform layer over the surface of a plastic sphere of diameter 13.0 cm , giving it a ch
Leokris [45]

a) Electric field inside the paint layer: zero

b) Electric field just outside the paint layer: -3.62\cdot 10^7 N/C

c) Electric field 8.00 cm outside the paint layer: -7.27\cdot 10^7 N/C

Explanation:

a)

We can find the electric field inside the paint layer by applying Gauss Law: the total flux of the electric field through a gaussian surface is equal to the charge contained within the surface divided by the vacuum permittivity, mathematically:

\int EdS = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

where

E is the electric field

dS is the element of surface

q is the charge within the gaussian surface

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m is the vacuum permittivity

Here we want to find the electric field just inside the paint layer, so we take a sphere of radius r as Gaussian surface, where

R = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m is the radius of the plastic sphere (half the diameter)

By taking the sphere of radius r, we note that the net charge inside this sphere is zero, therefore

q=0

So we have

\int E dS=0

which means that the electric field inside the paint layer is zero.

b)

Now we want to find the electric field just outside the paint layer: therefore, we take a Gaussian sphere of radius

r=R=0.065 m

The area of the surface is

A=4\pi R^2

And since the electric field is perpendicular to the surface at any point, Gauss Law becomes

E\cdot 4\pi R^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

The charge included within the sphere in this case is the charge on the paint layer, therefore

q=-17.0\mu C=-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

So, the electric field is:

E=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R^2}=\frac{-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.065)^2}=-3.62\cdot 10^7 N/C

where the negative sign means the direction of the field is inward, since the charge is negative.

c)

Here we want to calculate the electric field 8.00 cm outside the surface of the paint layer.

Therefore, we have to take a Gaussian sphere of radius:

r=8.00 cm + R = 8.00 + 6.50 = 14.5 cm = 0.145 m

Gauss theorem this time becomes

E\cdot 4\pi r^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

And the charge included within the sphere is again the charge on the paint layer,

q=-17.0\mu C=-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

Therefore, the electric field is

E=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}=\frac{-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.145)^2}=-7.27\cdot 10^7 N/C
