What happens when a ray of light is directed at a mirror, a glass block and a prism?

1 answer:

5 0

When it is directed at a mirror it is reflected
When it is directed at a glass block it refracts
When it is directed through a prism the light splits to form a spectrum ( red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet )

Hope this is ok

arlik [135]

Answer:

$\ m/s$

Explanation:

F = Force =

m = Mass of proton = $1.7\times 10^{-27\ kg$

t = Time taken = $2\times 10^{-14}\ s$

Acceleration is given by

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{}{1.7\times 10^{-27}}\\\Rightarrow a=\ m/s^2$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=+\times 2\times 10^{-14}\\\Rightarrow v=+\times 2\times 10^{-14}\\\Rightarrow v=+\\\Rightarrow v=\ m/s$

The velocity of the proton is $\ m/s$

nikdorinn [45]

The net charge on an atom is equal to the overall difference between the number of protons in the nucleus versus the number of electrons around the nucleus, where a negative sign represents less protons and a positive sign represents more protons (than electrons).

If a 75 W lightbulb is 15% efficient, how many joules of light energy does the bulb produce every minute?

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

1 W = 1 J / sec Definition of watt is 1 joule / sec

So if a bulb uses 75 J / sec it must use

75 J/s * 60 sec / min = 4500 J/min energy used by bulb

If bulb is 15% efficient then the light delivered is

P = 4500 J / min * .15 = 675 J / min

A thin film of oil of thickness t is floating on water. The oil has index of refraction no = 1.4. There is air above the oil. Wh

kkurt [141]

Answer:

t = 120.5 nm

Explanation:

given,

refractive index of the oil = 1.4

wavelength of the red light = 675 nm

minimum thickness of film = ?

formula used for the constructive interference

$2 n t = (m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda$

where n is the refractive index of oil

t is thickness of film

for minimum thickness

m = 0

$2 \times 1.4 \times t = (0+\dfrac{1}{2})\times 675$

$t = \dfrac{0.5\times 675}{2\times 1.4}$

t = 120.5 nm

hence, the thickness of the oil is t = 120.5 nm
