A submarine periscope uses two totally reflecting 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection on the sides adjacent to the 45

degree angles. Explain why the periscope will no longer work if it springs a leak and the bottom prism is covered with water. Note: The index of refraction for water is 1.33. The index of refraction for glass is 1.52

Answer

Given,

Periscope uses 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection adjacent to 45°.

refractive index of water, n_a = 1.33

refractive index of glass, n_g = 1.52

When the light enters the water, water will act as a lens and when we see the object from the periscope the object shown is farther than the usual distance.

Monochromatic light of wavelength 580 nm passes through a single slit and the diffraction pattern is observed on a screen. Both

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Part a)

Width of the slit is

$a = 580 nm$

Part b)

Ratio of intensity is given as

$\frac{I}{I_o} = 0.81$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know by the formula of diffraction we will have

$a sin\theta = \lambda$

so we have

$\theta = 90$

$\lambda = 580 nm$

so we will have

$a sin90 = 580 nm$

$a = 580 nm$

Part b)

As we know that the intensity in diffraction pattern is given as

$I = I_o (\frac{sin\theta}{\theta})^2$

$\frac{I}{I_o} = (\frac{sin\theta}{\theta})^2$

so for angle 45 degree

$\frac{I}{I_o} = (\frac{sin45}{\pi/4})^2$

$\frac{I}{I_o} = (\frac{sin45}{\pi/4})^2$

$\frac{I}{I_o} = 0.81$

An object with a mass M = 250 g is at rest on a plane that makes an angle θ = 30 o above the horizontal. The coefficient of kine

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

v = 79.2 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the object, m = 250 g = 0.250 kg

Angle, $\theta = 30^{\circ}$

Coefficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_{k} = 0.100$

Mass attached to the string, m = 0.200 kg

Distance, d = 30 cm = 0.03 m

Now,

The tension in the string is given by:

$Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = T$ (1)

Also

T = m(g + a)

Thus eqn (1) can be written as:

$Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = m(g - a)$

$Mgsin\theta + \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta + Ma = mg + ma$

$mg - Mgsin\theta - \mu_{k}Mgcos\theta = (M - m)a$

$a = \frac{0.2\times 9.8 - 0.250\times 9.8\times sin30^{\circ} - 0.1\times 0.250\times 9.8\times cos30^{\circ}}{0.250 - 0.200}$

$a = 10.45\ m/s^{2}$

Now, the speed is given by the third eqn of motion with initial velocity being zero:

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2ad$

where

u = initial velocity = 0

Thus

$v = \sqrt{2ad}$

$v = \sqrt{2\times 10.45\times 0.03} = 0.792\ m/s$

Answer:

Explanation:

If you look closely, force 1 does not reach 0.2 until 0.4 force 2 reaches 0.2 at about 0.2 - hope that made sense :P
