Answer:
a. R1 = 0.162 Ω
b. R2 = 0.340 Ω
Explanation:
Since the resistors R1 and R2 are connected in series, the current flowing through them when the 9 V battery is applied is 9/R1 + R2.
When the current increases by 0.450 A wen only R1 is in the circuit, the current is
9/R1 + R2 + 0.450 A = 9/R1 (1)
When the current increases by 0.225 A when only R2 is in the circuit, the current is
9/R1 + R2 + 0.225 A = 9/R2 (2)
equation (1) - (2) equals
9(1/R1 - 1/R2) = 0.450 A - 0.225
9(1/R1 - 1/R2) = 0.125
(1/R1 - 1/R2) = 0.125 A/9 = 0.0138
1/R1 = 0.0138 + 1/R2
R1 = R2/(1 + 0.0138R2) (3)
From (1)
9/R1 - 9/R1 + R2 = 0.450 A
9R2/[R1(R1 + R2)] = 0.450 A
R2/[R1(R1 + R2)] = 0.450 A/9 = 0.5
R2/[R1(R1 + R2)] = 0.5 (4)
From (3) R2/R1 = (1 + 0.0138R2) and from (4) R2/R1 = 0.5(R1 + R2). So,
(1 + 0.0138R2) = 0.5(R1 + R2)
0.5R1 + 0.5R2 = 1 + 0.0138R2
0.5R1 = 1 + 0.0138R2 - 0.5R2
0.5R1 = 1 - 0.4862R2 (5)
Substituting (3) into (5) we have
0.5R2/(1 + 0.0138R2) = 1 - 0.4862R2
R2 = (1 + 0.0138R2)(1 - 0.4862R2)
R2 = 1 - 0.4724R2 - 0.0067R2²
Collecting like terms, we have
0.0067R2² + 0.4724R2 + R2 - 1 = 0
0.0067R2² + 1.4724R2 - 1 = 0
Using the quadratic formula,
We choose the positive answer.
So R2 = 0.340 Ω
From (5)
R1 = 0.5 - 0.9931R2
= 0.5 - 0.9931 × 0.340
= 0.5 - 0.338
= 0.162 Ω
a. R1 = 0.162 Ω
b. R2 = 0.340 Ω
Answer:
The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
Explanation:
Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.
When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:
where :
is the index of refraction of the 1st medium
is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium
is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)
is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)
In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:
(index of refraction of air)
approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)
Snell's Law can be rewritten as
And since , we have
And so
Which means that
The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
