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
1 answer:
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

The energy flow per unit time per unit area (S) of an electromagnetic wave has an average value of 310 mW/m2. The maximum value
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

5.096*10^-8

Explanation:

Given that

The average value of the electromagnetic wave is 310 mW/m²

To find the maximum value of the magnetic field the wave is closest to, we say

Emax = √Erms

Emax = √[(2 * 0.310 * 3*10^8 * 4π*10^-7)]

Emax = √233.7648

Emax = 15.289

Now, with our value of maximum electromagnetic wave gotten, we divide it by speed of light to get our final answer

15.289 / (3*10^8) = 5.096*10^-8 T

Suffice to say, The maximum value of the magnetic field in the wave is closest to 5.096*10^-8

Describe a situation in which an electron will be affected by an external electric field but will not be affected by an external
irina [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Situations in which an electron will be affected by an external electric field but will not be affected by an external magnetic field

a ) When an electron is stationary in the electric field and magnetic field , he will be affected by electric field but not by magnetic field. Magnetic field can exert force only on mobile charges.

b ) When the electron is moving parallel to electric field and magnetic field . In this case also electric field will  exert force on electron but magnetic field field will not exert force on electrons . Magnetic field can exert force only on the perpendicular component of the velocity of charged particles.

Situations when electron is affected by an external magnetic field but not by an external electric field

There is no such situation in which electric field will not affect an electron . It will always affect an electron .
