Use evidence to explain why glass refracted more light than air or water

Physics
1 answer:
agasfer [191]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The refraction is the change in the direction of light while travelling from the one medium to another due to having different speeds in different mediums.

To determine how much light gets refracted, it depends on the density of substance and the wavelength and the angle at which light enters the substance.

Light travels more slowly in denser medium than the rarer medium. The refractive index of glass is more than water or air. Light gets refracted more in this. When the light travels from rarer to denser then the light will get bend towards the normal. When the light travels from denser to rarer then the light will get bend away from the normal.      

Glass is more denser than air or water. Water is more denser than the air. When light travels from air to glass then the light gets bends towards the normal. When the light travels from glass to the air then light gets bends away from the normal.

Therefore, the light gets refracted more in the glass than air to water.

An electron travels west to east with a kinetic energy of 10 keV. The Earth's magnetic field in Pittsburgh is 19,911.5 nT in the
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Kinetic energy of the electron, E_k=10\ keV=10^4\ eV=1.6\times 10^{-15}\ J

Let the east direction is +x direction, north direction is +y direction and vertical direction is +z direction.    

The magnetic field in north direction, B_y=19911.5\ nT

The magnetic field in west direction, B_x=-3257.1\ nT

The magnetic field in vertical direction, B_z=48381.8 \ nT

Magnetic field, B=(-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\ nT

Firstly calculating the velocity of the electron using the kinetic energy formulas as :

E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E_k}{m}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-15}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}

v=5.92\times 10^7 i\ m/s (as it is moving from west to east)

The force acting on the charged particle in the magnetic field is given by :

F=q(v\times B)

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times (5.92\times 10^7 i\times (-3257.1i+19911.5j+48381.8k)\times 10^{-9})

Since, i\times j=k\ \\j\times k=i\\k\times i=j

And, i\times i=j\times j=k\times k=0

F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times [1178 k-2864.20j]

|F|=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times \sqrt{1178^2+2864.20^2}

F=4.95\times 10^{-16}\ N

(b) Let a is the acceleration of the electron. It can be calculated as :

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{4.95\times 10^{-16}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a=5.43\times 10^{14}\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

In which case does viscosity play a dominant role? Case A: a typical bacterium (size ~ 1 mm1 mm and velocity ~ 20 mm/s20 mm/s) i
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Case A

Explanation:

given,

size of bacteria = 1 mm x 1 mm

velocity = 20 mm/s

size of the swimmer = 1.5 m x 1.5 m

velocity of swimmer = 3 m/s

Viscous force

F = \eta A \dfrac{dv}{dx}

for the bacteria

F = \eta \times 10^{-6}\times 20\times 10^{-3}

F =2\times 10^{-8} \eta\ N

for the swimmer

F = \eta \times 1.5^2\times 3

F =6.75 \eta\ N

from the above force calculation

In case B inertial force that represent mass is more than the inertial force in case of bacteria.

Viscous force is dominant in case of bacteria.

So, In Case A viscous force will be dominant.

Which of the following statements correctly describe the various forms of EM radiation listed above?A) They have different wavel
Aleksandr [31]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations are examples of electromagnetic waves with increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength in the following order radiowaves - infrared waves - visible lights - ultraviolet rays- x-rays - gamma rays.

They did not require material medium for their propagation.

The statement above shows that EM radiations possesses different wavelengths and frequency.

A machine shop worker reports the mass of an aluminum cube as 176 g. If one side of the cube measures 4 cm, what is the density
Zarrin [17]

-- Since it's a cube, its length, width, and height are all the same 4 cm .

-- Its volume is (length x width x height) = 64 cm³ .

-- Density = (mass) / (volume)

                = (176 g) / (64 cm³) 

                =         2.75 gm/cm³ .

A single insulated duct flow experiment using air operating at steady-state is performed in a lab. One measurement location (Sta
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a) -0.0934 kJ/kg. K

b) The direction of flow is from right to left.

Explanation:

A free flow diagram of the horizontal insulated duct is as shown below.

NOW,

Let assume that the direction of flow is from left to right and consider the following relation for the entropy rate balance equation for a control volume as:

\frac{\sigma_{cv}}{m}= (s_2-s_1) \geq  0 \ \ \ -------> \ \ \ 1

Now; if the value for this relation is greater than zero; then we conclude that our assumption is correct.

If the value is less than zero; then we conclude that the assumption is wrong.

Then, the flow is said to be  in the opposite direction

Formula for the change in specific entropy can be calculated as:

s_2-s_1 = s^0(T_2) - s^0(T_1)-R \ In ( \frac{P_2}{P-1}) \ \ \  ------->  \ \ \ 2

where;

s_1, s_2 , s^0(T_2), s^0(T1) are specific entropies

R = universal gas constant

P_1 = pressure at location 1

P_2 = pressure at location 2

We obtain the specific properties of air at temperature at T_1 = (67°C + 273)K = 340 K from the table A-22 ( Ideal gas properties of air)

s^0(T1) = 1.8279 kJ/kg.K

We also obtain the specific properties of air at temperature T_2 = 22°C + 273) K = 295 K

From the table A- 22

s^0(T_2) = 1.68515 kJ/kg . K

R = \frac{8.314 kJ}{28.97 kg.K}

P_1 = 0.95 bar

P_2 = 0.8 bar

Now replacing our values  into equation (2) from above; we have;

s_2-s_1 = s^0(T_2) -s^0(T_1)-R \ In (\frac{P_2}{P_1} )

s_2-s_1 = 1.68515 -1.8279-\frac{8.314}{28.97}  \ In (\frac{0.8}{0.95} )

s_2-s_1 = 1.68515 -1.8279+ 0.0493

s_2-s_1 =-0.0934 \  kJ/kg.K

Equating our result to equation (1)

s_2-s_1 \geq 0\\-0.0934 \leq 0

Therefore , our assumption is wrong and the direction of flow is said to be from right to left.

We therefore conclude that the direction of flow is from right to left.
