Determine the index of refraction of glass that is struck by unpolarized light at 53.8 degrees and resulting in a fully polarize

d reflected beam. (Brewster angle).
Physics

nignag [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The refractive index of glass, \mu_{g} = 1.367

Solution:

Brewster angle is the special case of incident angle that causes the reflected and refracted rays to be perpendicular to each other or that angle of incident which causes the complete polarization of the reflected ray.

To determine the refractive index of glass:

tan\theta_{P} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{\mu_{a}}                 (1)

where

\mu_{a} = refractive index of glass

\mu_{g} = refractive index of glass

Now, using eqn (1)

tan{53.8^{\circ}} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{1}

\mu_{g} = tan53.8^{\circ}

\mu_{g} = 1.367

In the standing waves experiment, the string has a mass of 31.2 g and a length of 0.7 m. The string is connected to a mechanical
mestny [16]

Answer:

linear density of the string = 4.46 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the string = 31.2 g

length of string = 0.7 m

linear density of the string = \dfrac{mass\ of\ string}{length}

linear density of the string = \dfrac{31.2\times 10^{-3}\ kg}{0.7\ m}

linear density of the string = 44.57 × 10⁻³ kg/m

linear density of the string = 4.46 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m

11. A plow pushes 100 kg of snow with 300 N of force. How much is the pile of snow<br> accelerated?
Fed [463]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is an application of Newton's second Law.

Formula

F = m * a

F = 300 N

m = 100 kg

a = ?

F = m * a

300N = 100 kg * a            Divide by 100

300N/100kg = a

a = 3 m/sec^2

A cat falls from a tree (with zero initial velocity) at time t = 0. How far does the cat fall between t = 1 2 and t = 1 s? Use G
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

There is one mistake in the question.The Correct question is here

A cat falls from a tree (with zero initial velocity) at time t = 0. How far does the cat fall between t = 1/2 and t = 1 s? Use Galileo's formula v(t) = −9.8t m/s.

Answer:

y(1s) - y(1/2s) =  - 3.675 m  

The cat falls 3.675 m between time 1/2 s and 1 s.

Explanation:

Given data

time=1/2 sec to 1 sec

v(t)=-9.8t m/s

To find

Distance

Solution

As the acceleration as first derivative of velocity with respect to time  

So

acceleration(-g)=  dv/dt

Solve it

dv  =  a dt

dv =  -g dt

v - v₀  =  -gt

v=  dy/dt

dy  =  v dt

dy =  ( v₀ - gt ) dt

y(1s) - y(1/2s)  =  ( v₀ ) ( 1 - 1/2 ) - ( g/2 )[ ( t1)² -( t1/2s )² ]

y(1s) - y(1/2s)  = ( - 9.8/2 ) [ ( 1 )² - ( 1/2 )² ]

y1s - y1/2s  = ( - 4.9 m/s² ) ( 3/4 s² )

y(1s) - y(1/2s) =  - 3.675 m  

The cat falls 3.675 m between time 1/2 s and 1 s.

Suppose that you connect the terminals of two batteries of different emfs positive to positive and negative to negative (opposin
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

This question is very basic and easy. The answer to this question is:

Answer: If both batteries are connected we would get less amount of charge as compared to connected a single battery.

Reasoning:

If both batteries are connected in a manner of positive terminal to positive terminal and negative terminal to negative terminal then a capacitor is added to charge it from the batteries then, total electromotive force (emf) would decrease.

As a result, the capacitor added would get less amount of charge stored. But capacitor added will get more amount of charge stored when a single battery is connected.
