Answer:14 s

Explanation:

Given

Velocity of ant is 0.1 m/s in a direction $45^{\circ}$

if it has traveled 1 m perpendicular to the edge of the sidewalk

i.e. from diagram

$\sin 45=\frac{1}{L}$

$L=\sqrt{2}$

$time=\frac{Distance}{speed}$

$t=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{0.1}$

$t=14.14 s$

Light is incident on the left face of an isosceles prism; with an apex angle of 49o, such that the light exiting the right face

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$\mu = 1.645$

Explanation:

By Snell's law we know at the left surface

$\theta_i = 19^o$

$\theta_r = ?$

$\mu_1 = 1$

$\mu_2 = \mu$

now we have

$1 sin19 = \mu sin\theta_r$

$0.33 = \mu sin\theta_r$

now on the other surface we know that

angle of incidence = $\theta_r'$

$\theta_e = 90$

so again we have

$\mu sin\theta_r' = 1 sin90$

so we have

$\theta_r = sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu}$

$\theta_r' = sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}$

also we know that

$\theta_r + \theta_r' = 49$

$sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu} + sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu} = 49$

By solving above equation we have

$\mu = 1.645$

Suppose a ray of light traveling in a material with an index of refraction n a reaches an interface with a material having an in

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: C and D

Explanation: One of the first rule for total internal reflection to occur is that the ray must move from a dense to a less dense medium, hence refractive index of medium a must be greater than that of b.

When a ray moves from a dense to a less dense medium, the refracted ray moves away from the normal thus increasing the size of the angle of refraction (total internal refraction occurs when the angle of refraction is 90° and the angle of incidence at this point is known as the critical angle), hence the angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle.

These points verifies option C and D

In space movies, spacecrafts explode and oxygen is needed for a fire to start. Why is it wrong? What would really happen?

Triss [41]

Answer:

Hey

The reason these "space movies" are wrong is because objects in "space" (not in a "space" craft) can't catch on fire because there is no air in "space".

To understand the experiment that led to the discovery of the photoelectric effect.

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

A) Emin = eV

B) Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e

Explanation:

A)

Energy of electron is the product of electron charge and the applied potential difference.

The energy of an electron in this electric field with potential difference V will be eV. Since this is the least energy that the electron must reach to break out, then the minimum energy required by this electron will be;

Emin = eV

B)

The maximum stopping potential energy is eVo,

The energy of the electron due to the light is E_light.

If the minimum energy electron must posses is Φ, then the minimum energy electron must have to reach the detectors will be equal to the energy of the light minus the maximum stopping potential energy

Φ = E_light - eVo

Therefore,

eVo = E_light - Φ

Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e
