Answer:

a) θc = 44.21⁰.

b) θc = 41.14⁰

c)  θc = 40.36⁰

Explanation:

sin θ = \dfrac{n_2}{n_1}

For air,

n₂ = 1

so,

sin θ =  \dfrac{1}{n_1}

(a) fluorite : n₁ = 1.434⁰

sin θ = 0.697                   θc = 44.21⁰.

(b) crown glass: n₁ = 1.52⁰  

sin θ = 0.657                   θc = 41.14⁰.

(c) sodium chloride : n₁= 1.544⁰

sin θ = 0.647                   θc = 40.36⁰.

What is the strength of the electric field ep 0.90 mm from a proton?
dem82 [27]

The electric field strength is inversely related to the square of the distance.so  the strength of the electric field is given by

E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}  } \frac{q}{r^{2} } = \frac{k q}{r^{2} }

Here,  \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}  } = k  is constant depend upon medium and its value is 9.0 \times10^{9} \ N m^2/C^2 and q is charge and  r is the distance.

Given  r = 0.90 mm = 9.0 \times 10^{-4} m and we know the charge of proton, q = 1.6\times 10^{-19} \ C.

Therefore,

E=\frac{9.0 \times10^{9} \ N m^2/C^2 \times1.6\times 10^{-19} \ C  }{(9.0 \times 10^{-4} m)^2} = 0.177 \times 10^{-2} \ N/C \\\\  E= 1.77 \times 10^{-3}  N/C

A battery charges a parallel-plate capacitor fully and then is removed. The plates are immediately pulled apart. (With the batte
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

<em>There will be an increase in potential difference.</em>

Explanation:

As we know that the potential difference depends upon the capacitance.

ΔV = Q/C

When battery is disconnected the charge remains constant on the plates but the capacitance decreases. As the capacitance has an inverse relation with the potential difference, there will be an increase in it.

In addition to that the potential difference can also be defined as the product of field and distance between the plates. As the charge is constant so the field is constant. Upon increasing the separation between the plates the potential difference will also increased.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

KE = 2.535 x 10⁷ Joules

Explanation:

given,

angular speed of the fly wheel = 940 rad/s

mass of the cylinder = 630 Kg

radius = 1.35 m

KE of flywheel = ?

moment of inertia of the cylinder

I = \dfrac{1}{2}mr^2

 =\dfrac{1}{2}\times 630\times 1.35^2

 = 574 kg m²

kinetic energy of the fly wheel

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

KE =\dfrac{1}{2}\times 574\times 940^2

KE = 2.535 x 10⁷ Joules

the kinetic energy of the flywheel is equal to KE = 2.535 x 10⁷ Joules
