Personally, I call it the wave's "amplitude".

What do YOU call it ?

Calcite (CaCO_3) is a crystal with abnormally large birefringence. The index of refraction for light with electric field paralle

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

(a) 42.28°

(b) 37.08°

Explanation:

From the principle of refraction of light, when light wave travels from one medium to another medium, we have:

$\frac{n_{b} }{n_{a} }$ = sinθ $_{a}$ /sinθ $_{b}$

In the given problem, we are given the refractive indices of light which are parallel and perpendicular to the axis of the optical lens as 1.4864 and 1.6584 respectively.

For critical angle θ $_{a}$ = θ $_{c}$ , θ $_{b}$ = 90°; $n_{b} = 1$

(a) $n_{a} = 1.4864$

$\frac{1 }{1.4864 }$ = sinθ $_{c}$ /sin90°

0.6728 = sinθ $_{c}θ[tex]_{c} = sin^(-1) 0.6728 = 42.28°(b) [tex]n_{a} = 1.6584$

$\frac{1 }{1.6584}$ = sinθ $_{c}$ /sin90°

0.60299 = sinθ[tex]_{c}

θ[tex]_{c} = sin^(-1) 0.60299 = 37.08°

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Metal conducts heat much better than wood does.

Since Azam's hand is hotter than room temperature, both the metal and the wood conduct heat away from it.

In a physics lab experiment for the determination of moment of inertia, a team weighs an object and finds a mass of 2.15 kg. The

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

0.339 kgm²

Explanation:

We know the period of this pendulum, T = 2π√(I/mgh) where I = moment of inertia of the object about the pivot axis, m = mass of object = 2.15 kg, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = distance of center of mass of object from pivot point = 0.163 m.

Since T = 2π√(I/mgh), making I subject of the formula, we have

I = mghT²/4π²

Now since it takes 241 s to complete 113 cycles, then it takes 241 s/113 cycles to complete one cycle.

So, T = 241 s/113 = 2.133 s

So, Substituting the values of the variables into I, we have

I = mghT²/4π²

I = 2.15 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.163 m × (2.133 s)²/4π²

I = 15.63/4π² kgm²

I = 0.396 kgm²

Now from the parallel axis theorem, I = I' + mh² where I' = moment of inertia of object with respect to its center of mass about an axis parallel to the pivot axis

I' = I - mh²

I' = 0.396 kgm² - 2.15 kg × (0.163 m)²

I' = 0.396 kgm² - 0.057 kgm²

I' = 0.339 kgm²
