Given a block of glass that is semi-circular, a laser pointer, protractor/ruler, and index card, design your own experiment to o

bserve and measure total internal reflection. Describe how you would shine the laser onto the glass block, what angles you would measure and how you would determine the critical angle from your measurements.

Answer:

Explanation:

Critical angle is angle of incidence at which the reflected ray is perpendicular to the normal of the plane.

Apply snell's law,

    ni sin∅i = nr sin ∅r

Here,ni & nr are reflective indices of incident and refracted media ,∅i is angle of incidence and ∅r is angle of refraction

In this case,the light refracted at interface of glass -air medium

ni=(1.52), nr =1.00(for air),∅r=90° and ∅i =∅c(from the definition of critical angle),

(1.52)sin∅c = (1.00)sin 90°

solve the equation for ∅c

∅c=sin⁻¹{(1.00)sin 90° /1.52}

=41.1°

thus,the critical angle is 41.1° .The rays which are incident greater than this angle,would reflect back into the same glass medium(total internal reelection)

Answer:

we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Explanation:

To design the experiment of measuring the critical angle, we describe the phenomenon, when the light passes from a medium with a higher refractive index to one with a lower index, it separates from the normal one and the Critical Angle is defined as the Angle for which the refraction occurs at 90º

            n₂ sin θ₂ = n₁ sin 90

           n₁ / n₂ = sin θ₂

As we can see, we have to measure the angle with which the laser touches the exit surface of the glass block.

Design of the experiment:

    We place the glass block on the ramp and at the top we hit the conveyor for half the angle, we climb the block on the ramp and see that the angle of incidence of lightning on the exit face changes, part of the beam comes out of the glass , we see it by dispersion in the particles of dirty in the air; Maybe the conveyor or the laser should be moved slightly so that the beam touches the point of origin on the conveyor.

   

   When we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Answer:

For a velocity versus time graph how do you know what the velocity is at a certain  time?

Ans: By drawing a line parallel to the y axis (Velocity axis) and perpendicular to the co-ordinate of the Time on the x axis (Time Axis). The point on the slope of the graph where this line intersects, will be the desired velocity at the certain time.

_____________________________________________________

How do you know the acceleration at a certain time?

Ans: We\ know\ that\ acceleration = \frac{Final\ velocity-Initial\ Velocity}{Time\ taken}

Hence,

By dividing the difference of the Final and Initial Velocity by the Time Taken, we could find the acceleration.

_________________________________________________________

How do you know the  Displacement at a certain time?

Ans: As Displacement equals to the area enclosed by the slope of the Velocity-Time Graph, By finding the area under the slope till the perpendicular at the desired time, we find the Displacement.

a 64kg skateboarder on a 2.0kg skateboard is on top of a ramp with a vertical height of 5.0 m what is the skateboarders maximum
WITCHER [35]
The formula for a kinetic energy KE of a falling body is
KE = mgh
where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2, constant), h = height.

The total mass of a skateboader and a skateboard is 64 + 2.0 = 66 kg.

Finally,
KE = 66*9.8*5.0 = 32340 J

A simple electric motor consists of a 220-turn coil, 4.4 cm in diameter, mounted between the poles of a magnet that produces a 9
Verdich [7]

Answer:

M = 5.01\ A.m^2          

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns in the coil, N = 220

Diameter of the coil, d = 4.4 cm

Radius of the coil, r = 2.2 cm = 0.022 m

Magnetic field produced by the poles of magnet, B=96\ mT=96\times 10^{-3}\ T

Current flowing in the coil, I = 15 A

Let M is the coil's magnetic dipole moment. Its formula is given by :

M=N\times I\times A

M=220\times 15\times \pi (0.022)^2

M = 5.01\ A.m^2

So, the coil's magnetic dipole moment is 5.01\ A.m^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

0.125 volts

Explanation:

The induced emf can be sufficient to stimulate neuronal activity.

One such device generates a magnetic field within the brain that rises from zero to 1.5 T in 120 ms.

We need to find the induced emf within a circle of tissue of radius 1.6 mm and that is perpendicular to the direction of the field. The formula for the induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

Where

\phi is magnetic flux

So,

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}\\\\=2\pi r\times \dfrac{dB}{dt}\\\\=2\pi \times 1.6\times 10^{-3}\times \dfrac{1.5-0}{120\times 10^{-3}}\\\\=0.125\ V

So, the induced emf is equal to 0.125 volts.
