In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 570 travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 16.5 . When a slab of g
aliina [53]

Answer:

Wavelength is calculated as 213.9 nm

Solution:

As per the question:

Wavelength of light = 570 nm

Time, t = 16.5 ns

Thickness of glass slab, d = 0.865 ns

Time taken to travel from laser to the photocell, t' = 21.3

Speed of light in vacuum, c = 3\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Now,

To calculate the wavelength of light inside the glass:

After the insertion of the glass slab into the beam, the extra time taken by light to cover a thickness t = 0.865 m is:

t' - t = 21.3 - 16.5 = 4.8 ns

Thus

\frac{d}{\frac{c}{n}} - \frac{d}{v} = 4.8\times 10^{- 9}

\frac{0.8656}{\frac{c}{n}} - \frac{0.865}{v} = 4.8\times 10^{- 9}

where

n = refractive index of the medium

v = speed of light in medium

\frac{0.8656}{\frac{c}{n}} - \frac{0.865}{v} = 4.8\times 10^{- 9}

n = \frac{4.8\times 10^{- 9}\times 3.00\times 10^{8}}{0.865} + 1

n = 2.66

Now,

The wavelength in the glass:

\lambda' = \frac{\lambda }{n}

\lambda' = \frac{570}{2.66} = 213.9\ nm

A see-saw is balanced on a pivot with two children on it. One child is sitting 1.5 m to the left of the pivot and has a mass of
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

This is a second class lever. It is much more efficient than the fishing pole problem. All distances are measured from the pivot in these kinds of questions.

Givens

d1 = 1.5

d2 = ?

m1 = 50 kg

m2 = 30 kg

The lighter child will have to sit further away from the pivot to make the two conditions equal.

Formula

d1*m1 = d2*m2

1.5*50 = d2 * 30

75 = 30 * d2

75/30 = d2

d2 = 2.5

Remark

Notice that the distance is longer for the lighter child. The fact that these are masses and not forces does not matter, but you should take note of it. There is a difference between masses and forces. See the fishing pole problem.

Answer to the multiple Choice question. No motion on this kind of problem means equal moments. The answer is D

Problem 2

1) The wheels are further apart making B more stable. The wider the distance the wheels are apart, the harder it would be to tip the concrete mixer over

2) The center of gravity is lower. The higher the force is the more chance you have of exerting an external force to tip the mixer over.

The conduction velocity of an axon is determined by:
Marina86 [1]

The conduction velocity of an axon is determined by myelin sheath

thickness and internode distance.

Axon are structures in the neuron which is involved in the conduction of

impulses away from the cell body. Axons which have myelin sheath conduct

impulses faster than those without it.

Axons which have thicker myelin sheath and longer internode distance will

increase the conduction velocity of an axon and vice versa.

The density of aluminum is 2.7 × 103 kg/m3 . the speed of longitudinal waves in an aluminum rod is measured to be 5.1 × 103 m/s.
andrey2020 [161]
<span>The speed of longitudinal waves, S, in a thin rod = âšYoung modulus / density , where Y is in N/m^2. So, S = âšYoung modulus/ density. Squaring both sides, we have, S^2 = Young Modulus/ density. So, Young Modulus = S^2 * density; where S is the speed of the longitudinal wave. Then Substiting into the eqn we have (5.1 *10^3)^2 * 2.7 * 10^3 = 26.01 * 10^6 * 2.7 *10^6 = 26.01 * 2.7 * 10^ (6+3) = 70.227 * 10 ^9</span>
