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

Physics
1 answer:
Serhud [2]4 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.

6. f = 128.62 s^{-1} , T= 0.0077775 s

7. f  = 2.2 * 10^{4} s^{-1}, T = 4.545 * 10^{-5} s

8. 32.64 s^{-1}

9. 3.29 * 10^{14} s^{-1}

Explanation:

Step 1:

6.

For light and sound v = fλ

where v represents the velocity

f represents the frequency

λ represents the wavelength

λ = 2.69 m

v = 346 m/s

f = v/λ = 346/2.69 = 128.62 s^{-1}

Time period is the reciprocal of frequency

T = 1/128.62 = 0.0077775 s

Step 2:

7.

λ = 110 cm = 1.1 m

v = 2.42*10^{4} m/s

f = 2.42*10^{4}/1.1 = 2.2 * 10^{4} s^{-1}

T = 1/(2.2*10^{4}) = 4.545 * 10^{-5} s

Step 3:

8.

λ = 10.6 m

v = 346 m/s

f = v/λ = 346/10.6 = 32.64 s^{-1}

Step 4:

9.

λ = 5.89 * 10^{-7} m

v = 1.94 * 10^{8} m/s

f = v/λ = 3.29 * 10^{14} s^{-1}

A box is 4 m in the air and has 120 J of potential energy. What is the box's mass
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Mass of the box is 3.06 kg

Explanation:

Potential energy (that depends on gravity) is the type of energy which is stored that relies on the general position of different parts of a body.  It is a property of a framework and not of an individual body or molecule; the framework made out of the Earth and the raised ball.

P.E = m.g.h                       Equation(1)

as we have to find the mass of the box then the formula for the mass will become

m=P.E/g(h)                      Equation(2)

as we know

P.E= 120J

h=4m

g=9.8m/s  

g is the gravitational acceleration

putting values in the equation(2)  

m = 120/9.8(4)

    = 120/39.2                    

    = 3.06 kg

mass of the box is 3.06 kg
