What is meant by the statement "critical angle for diamond is 24 degree"?

Physics
1 answer:
Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
6 0

When a light Ray travels from a dence medium to a rare medium, the ray gets refracted. At some angle of incidence the refracted ray travels on the surface between the 2 mediums. This angle (in the dence medium) making the refracted ray to travel on the surface is called the critical angle.

The critical angle is produced for the maximum angle the ray can produce in the dence medium without being totally internally reflected.

And for different materials the critical angle takes different values. The critical angle for a diamond in air is 24 degrees

( while the critical angle for glass is 41 degrees.)

Hope this helps.

A wave which needs a medium (solid, liquid, gas) in order to propagate itself.
Vadim26 [7]

The correct answer to the question is: Sound wave.

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand longitudinal wave.

A longitudinal wave is a mechanical wave in which the direction of propagation of wave is parallel to the direction of particle vibration.

This wave propagates through a medium in the form of compression and rarefaction.

Compression are the regions of high pressure zones where the particles of the medium are closely aggregated to each other.

Rarefaction is the region of low pressure where particles of the medium are not so close to each other as compared to compression.

The longitudinal wave can not propagate in space. It always needs a medium for it's propagation. The medium may be solid, liquid or gas .

For instance, sound wave is a longitudinal wave.

Hence, the correct answer of this question is sound wave which needs a medium for it's propagation.

A 10-kg disk-shaped flywheel of radius 9.0 cm rotates with a rotational speed of 320 rad/s. Part A Determine the rotational mome
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

(A). The rotational momentum of the flywheel is 12.96 kg m²/s.

(B). The rotational speed of sphere is 400 rad/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of disk = 10 kg

Radius = 9.0 cm

Rotational speed = 320 m/s

(A). We need to calculate the rotational momentum of the flywheel.

Using formula of momentum

L=I\omega

L=\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2\omega

Put the value into the formula

L=\dfrac{1}{2}\times10\times(9.0\times10^{-2})^2\times320

L=12.96\ kg m^2/s

(B). Rotation momentum of sphere is same rotational momentum of the  flywheel

We need to calculate the magnitude of the rotational speed of sphere

Using formula of rotational momentum

L_{sphere}=L_{flywheel}

I\omega_{sphere}=I\omega_{flywheel}

\omega_{sphere}=\dfrac{I\omega_{flywheel}}{I_{sphere}}

\omega_{sphere}=\dfrac{I\omega_{flywheel}}{\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2}

Put the value into the formula

\omega_{sphere}=\dfrac{12.96}{\dfrac{2}{5}\times10\times(9.0\times10^{-2})^2}

\omega_{sphere}=400\ rad/s

Hence, (A). The rotational momentum of the flywheel is 12.96 kg m²/s.

(B). The rotational speed of sphere is 400 rad/s.
