Light propagates faster through a medium “A” than medium “b”

Physics
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1) The medium b has higher optical density.

2) If the optical densities of both A and B are same.

Explanation:

  1. The refractive index of a material determines the number of times the velocity of light in that material is slower than the velocity of light in a vacuum.
  2. The higher refractive index means slower propagation of the light in that medium.
  3. The refractive index of the medium determines the optical density of the medium.
  4. If the material has a higher refractive index, then its optical density is high.
  5. If the material has a low refractive index, then its optical density is low.
  6. The light bends towards the normal while refracting through the medium from a lower optical density medium to the higher optical density medium.
  7. If both the mediums has the same optical density, the direction of propagation doesn't change.

Schach [20]

Answer:

1 cm⁻¹ =1.44K  1 ev = 1.16 10⁴ K

Explanation:

The relationship between temperature and thermal energy is

     E = K T

The relationship of the speed of light

    c =λ f = f / ν          1/λ= ν

The Planck equation is

          E = h f

Let's start the transformations

     c = f λ = f / ν        

     f = c ν

     E = h f

     E = h c ν

     E = KT

     h c ν = K T

     T = h c ν  / K =( h c / K) ν

Let's replace the constants

     h = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s

     c = 3 10⁸ m / s

     K = 1.38  10⁻²³ J / K

 

     v = 1 cm-1 (100 cm / 1 m) = 10² m-1

   

     T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 1 10²

     A = h c / K = 1,441 10⁻²

     T =  1.44K

     ν = 103 cm⁻¹ = 103 10² m

     T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 103 10²

     T = 148K

1 Rydberg = 1.097 10 7 m

As we saw at the beginning the λ=1 / v

     T = (h c / K) 1 /λ

     T = 1,441 10⁻²  1 / 1,097 10⁷

     T = 1.3 10⁻⁹ K

    E = 1Ev (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J /1 eV) = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

    E = KT

    T = E/K

    T = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ /1.38 10⁻²³

    T = 1.16 10⁴ K

The air inside becomes warmer, and that makes it LESS DENSE.

Less-dense air FLOATS in denser air. Since it's inside the balloon, it picks the balloon up when it floats.

A wire with length 3.5 m and mass 0.03 kg is aligned horizontally and connected by conducting loops to two vertical frictionless
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Current flowing in the wire is 1680 A

Explanation:

It is given length of wire l = 3.5 m

Mass of the wire m = 0.03 kg

Magnetic field B = 0.00005 Tesla

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Mg force acting on the wire will be equal to Lorentz force acting on the wire.

Therefore mg=IBl

0.03\times 9.8=I\times 0.00005\times 3.5

I=1680A

Therefore current flowing in the wire is 1680 A
