What is escape velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
olga_2 [115]3 years ago
6 0
<span>It is the lowest velocity which a body must have in order to escape the gravitational attraction of a particular planet or other object.

Every planet has their own corresponding escape velocities. Example - Earth has escape velocity of 11.2 Km/s. It means, if you want to leave the Earth's gravitational field then it's the lowest speed which you need to acquire otherwise you wouldn't do that!

Hope this helps!</span>

A thin glass rod is submerged in oil. What is the critical angle for light traveling inside the rod? The index of refraction for
Alekssandra [29.7K]
When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle of incidence above which light is reflected only (no refraction occurs), and the value of this critical angle is given by
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.

In this problem, the first medium is the glass (n_1 = 1.50), while the second medium is oil (n_2 =1.46), therefore the critical angle is given by
\theta_c = \arcsin( \frac{1.46}{1.50} )=\arcsin(0.973)=76.7^{\circ}

Calculate the frequency of the red light emitted by a neon sign with a wavelength of 690 nm
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

4.35 \times 10^{14} Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a light is inversely proportional to its wavelength. It is given by:

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

The speed of the red light, v = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

The wavelength of the red light, λ = 690 nm = 690 ×10⁻⁹ m

f = \frac{3.0 \times 10^8 m/s}{690\times 10^{-9}m} = 4.35 \times 10^{14} Hz

Thus, the frequency of red light emitted by neon sign having wavelength 690 nm is 4.35 \times 10^{14} Hz
