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.

According to the de Broglie relation, the wavelength of a "matter" wave is inversely proportional to the momentum of the particl
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Yes the statement is correct

Explanation:

The de-broglie relation is mathematically represented as

\lambda =\frac{h}{p}

where

p is momentum of the system

From the relation we can see that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the momentum of the particle.

A proton travelling at 35 degree to an external magnetic field of magnitude 0.026 T experiences a force of magnitude 5.5x10^-17
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

a) 2.3 x 10⁴ m/s

b) 4.42 x 10⁻¹⁹ J or 2.8 eV

Explanation:

θ = Angle between the direction of motion of proton and magnetic field = 35

B = magnitude of magnetic field = 0.026 T

F = magnitude of magnetic force =5.5 x 10⁻¹⁷ N

q = magnitude of charge on proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

v = speed of proton

magnetic force on proton is given as

F = q v B Sinθ

5.5 x 10⁻¹⁷ = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (0.026) Sin35 v

v = 2.3 x 10⁴ m/s

b)

m = mass of the proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

Kinetic energy of proton is given as

KE = (0.5) m v²

KE = (0.5) (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷) (2.3 x 10⁴)²

KE = 4.42 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

we also know that, 1 eV = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

KE = \frac{4.42\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

KE = 2.8 eV
