Identical rays of light in air are refracted upon entering three transparent materials:

Physics
1 answer:
aev [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

for us to rank them we need to calculate the angle of refraction for the various materials. The angle of refraction is the angle between the refracted ray and the normal.

refractive index(n) = velocity of light in air/ velocity of light in medium

refractive index (n) = sini/sinr

lets equate the right side of both equations.

\frac{sini}{sinr}=\frac{c}{velocity of light in medium}

we will assume 30 degree as the angle of incidence for all materials.

(a) water

\frac{sin30}{sinr}=\frac{c}{0.75c}

sinr = 0.75c/c *sin30

sinr = 0.375

r= arcsin0.375

r=22.02°

(b) ethyl alcohol

\frac{sin30}{sinr}=\frac{c}{0.7c}

sinr = 0.7c/c *sin30

sinr = 0.35

r= arcsin0.35

r=20.49°

(c) crown glass

\frac{sin30}{sinr}=\frac{c}{0.6c}

sinr = 0.6c/c *sin30

sinr = 0.3

r= arcsin0.35

r=17.46°

it is observed that the angle of refraction decreases as the velocity of light in glass decreases.

ranking the materials  according to how much the light ray bends toward the normal, from most bending to least bending we have;

Crown glass > ethyl alcohol> water

The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave is its
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

wavelenght

Explanation:

The wavelength is the spatial period of a wave, analogous to the temporal period, it is the distance between two consecutive points with maximum amplitude that are repeated in space . In the waves of the sea, the wavelength is easily observed in the separation between two consecutive ridges.

Some drops a ball off of the top of a 125-m-tall building. In this prob-lem, you will be solving for the time it takes the ball
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

t = 5.05 s

Explanation:

This is a kinetic problem.

a) to solve it we must fix a reference system, let's use a fixed system on the floor where the height is 0 m

b) in this system the equations of motion are

              y = v₀ t + ½ g t²

where v₀ is the initial velocity that is v₀ = 0 and g is the acceleration of gravity that always points towards the center of the Earth

e)    y = 0 + ½ g t²

     t = √ (2y / g)

     t = √(2 125 / 9.8)

     t = 5.05 s

State how much energy is transferred in each of the following cases: 2 grams of steam at 100 degrees Celsius condenses to water
dusya [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

When 2 gms of steam condenses to water at 100 degree latent heat of vaporization is releases which is calculated as follows

Heat released = mass x latent heat of vaporization

= 2 x 2260 = 4520 J

When 2 gms of water  at 100 degree is cooled to ice water at zero degree  heat  is releases which is calculated as follows

Heat released = mass x specific heat x( 100-0)

= 2 x 4.2 x 100 = 840 J

When 2 gms of water at zero degree  condenses to ice at zero degree latent heat of fusion  is releases which is calculated as follows

Heat released = mass x latent heat of fusion

= 2 x 334 = 668 J

When 2 grams of steam at 100 degrees Celsius turns to ice at 0 degrees Celsius heat released will be sum of all the heat released as mentioned above ie

4520 + 840 +668 = 6028 J
