The critical angle for a light ray travelling from a ruby into ethyl alcohol is 50.6 degrees celsius. Determine the index of ref

raction for ethyl alcohol.
Physics
1 answer:
stepan [7]3 years ago

In order to answer this question, I realized that I needed to know the index
of refraction for ruby, so I went and looked it up.  It's  1.762 to 1.770 .

I started trying to remember how to use this number and the critical angle
to find the index of refraction of the other medium.  That's when I saw the
absurd unit "degrees celsius" for the critical angle, and I got discouraged.
But I perked up very quickly, when I realized that I'm still on the "index of
refraction" list, and while I'm there, I might as well just go ahead and
look up ethyl alcohol too.

It's  1.36  .

A small compass is placed near a very large piece of ferromagnetic material. Before the compass is placed near the material, it
NeTakaya

Answer:

it will move towards the object's magnetic south

Explanation:

The compass pints towards the earth geographic north because the magnetic south of the earth's magnetic field is located in there, if you placed such compass neaar the piece of ferromagnetic material, the magnetic field produced by the magnet will make the compass needle point towards its south magnetic pole, in the same fashion as it points to the earth's magnetic south. It will point to the object's south pole because the magnetic field will be stronger than the earth's (which is weak) that is because of the way magnetism works, opposite poles are attracted and similar poles will tend to separate from each other

A fixed mass of an ideal gas is heated from 50°C to 80°C (a) at constant volume and (b) at constant pressure. For which case do
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K

Explanation:

given data

temperature T1 =  50°C

temperature T2 = 80°C

solution

we know energy require to heat the air is express as

for constant pressure and volume

Q  = m ×  c × ΔT     ........................1

here m is mass of the gas and c is specific heat of the gas and Δ T is change in temperature of the gas

here both Mass and temperature difference is equal and energy required is dependent on specific heat of air.

and here at constant pressure Specific heat  is greater than the specific heat at constant volume,

so the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass by one degree at constant pressure is

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

and

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K

Experiment with the battery voltage set to 15 volts, measure the current in a parallel circuit with 1,2,3, and 4 light bulbs. (I
koban [17]

Answer:

1) current = I

2) Resistance = V/I

3) current = 2I

4) resistance = V/2I

5) current = 3I

6) Resistance = V/3I

7) Current = 4I

8) Resistance = V/4I

Explanation:

When one bulb is connected across the battery then let say the current is given as I

Then resistance is given as

R = \frac{V}{I}

When two bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes twice of initial current

so we have

current = 2I

Resistance of the circuit is now

R = \frac{V}{2I}

When three bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes three times of initial current

so we have

current = 3I

Resistance of the circuit is now

R = \frac{V}{3I}

When four bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes four times of initial current

so we have

current = 4I

Resistance of the circuit is now

R = \frac{V}{4I}
