(a) A narrow beam of light containing yellow (580 nm) and green (550 nm) wavelengths goes from polystyrene to air, striking the

surface at a 30.0°30.0° incident angle. What is the angle between the colors when they emerge?

Answer:

0.043°

Explanation:

Snell's law States that the ratio of the angle of incidence to angle of refraction is a constant for a given pair of media.

n = sin(i)/sin(r)

n1/n2 = sin(i)/sin(r)

For the green polystyrene

n2 = refractive index of green polystyrene = 1.493

n1 = refractive index of air = 1

1/1.493= sin30°/sin(r1)

sin(r1) = sin30°×1.493

sin(r1) = 0.5×1.493

sin(r1) = 0.7465

r1 = sin^-1(0.7465)

r1 = 48.288°

For the yellow polystyrene

n2 = refractive index of yellow polystyrene = 1.492

n1 = refractive index of air = 1

1.492/1= sin30°/sin(r2)

sin(r2) = sin30°×1.492

sin(r2) = 0.5×1.492

sin(r2) = 0.746

r2 = sin^-1(0.746)

r2 = 48.245°

The angle between the colors when they emerge = r1-r2

angle between the colors when they emerge = 48.288°-48.245°

angle between the colors when they emerge = 0.043°

ben walks 2 m from his desk to the teachers desk. From the teachers desk he then walks 3 m in the same direction to the classroo
vaieri [72.5K]
Distance is the total length covered = 2m + 3m = 5m

Displacement is his distance from original position.

Displacement =  2m + (-3)m.               Representing the 3m walked back as -3.

Displacement = 2m - 3m = -1m.

So his displacement  is 1m behind his original starting point.

Henrietta is going off to her physics class, jogging down the sidewalk at a speed of 2.70 m/s. Her husband Bruce suddenly realiz
Katen [24]

Answer:

The velocity is v  =  6.66 \  m/s

Henrietta is at distance s=  18.17 \  m from the under the window

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of Henrietta is v=  2.70 \ m/s

The height of the window from the ground is h  =  36.5 \  m

Generally the time taken for the lunch to reach the ground assuming it fell directly under the window is

t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 *  h }{g} }

=> t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 *  36.5 }{9,8} }

=> t  =  2.73 \  s

Generally the time taken for the lunch to reach Henrietta is mathematically represented as

T =  t +  t_1

Here t_1 is the time duration that elapsed after Henrietta has passed below the window the value is given as 4 s

Now

T = 2.73  +  4

=> T = 6.73 \  s

Generally the distance covered by Henrietta before catching her lunch is

s=  v  *  T

=> s=  2.70  * 6.73

=> s=  18.17 \  m

Generally the speed with which Bruce threw her lunch is mathematically represented as

v  =  \frac{18.17}{2.73}

v  =  6.66 \  m/s
