The indices of refraction for violet light (λ = 400 nm) and red light (λ = 700 nm) in diamond are 2.46 and 2.41, respectively. A

ray of light traveling through air strikes the diamond surface at an angle of 51.0 ∘ to the normal.
Calculate the angular separation between these two colors of light in the refracted ray.

Answer:

0.42°

Explanation:

Using Snell's law of refraction which states that the ratio of the angle of sin of incidence to angle of sine of refraction is equal to a constant for a given pair of media. Mathematically,

Sin(i)/sin(r) = n

n is the refractive index of the medium

FOR VIOLET LIGHT:

n = 2.46

i = 51°

r = ?

To get r, we will use the Snell's law formula.

2.46 = sin51°/sinr

Sinr = sin51°/2.46

Sinr = 0.316

r = sin^-1(0.316)

rv = 18.42°

FOR RED LIGHT:

n = 2.41

i = 51°

r = ?

To get r, we will use the Snell's law formula.

2.41 = sin51°/sinr

Sinr = sin51°/2.41

Sinr = 0.323

r = sin^-1(0.323)

rd = 18.84°

The angular separation between these two colors of light in the refracted ray will be the difference between there angle of refraction.

Angular separation = rd - rv

= 18.84° - 18.42°

= 0.42°

A 25-kg child sits at the top of a 4-meter slide. After sliding down, the child is traveling at 5 m/s. How much PE does he start
Semmy [17]

Daniddmelo says it right there, don't know why he got reported.

The potential energy (PE) is mass x height x gravity. So it would be 25 kg x 4  m x 9.8 = 980 joules. The child starts out with 980 joules of potential energy. The kinetic energy (KE) is (1/2) x mass x velocity squared. KE = (1/2) x 25 kg x 5 m/s2 = 312.5 joules. So he ends with 312.5 joules of kinetic energy. The Energy lost to friction =  PE - KE. 980- 312.5 = 667.5 joules of energy lost to friction.

Please don't just copy and paste, and thank you Dan cause you practically did it I just... elaborated more? I dunno.

How to find the gradient of a velocity time graph
Sidana [21]
The area-

The area under the line in a velocity-time graph represents the distance travelled. To find the distance travelled in the graph above, we need to find the area of the light-blue triangle and the dark-blue rectangle.

<span><span>Area of light-blue triangle -
<span>The width of the triangle is 4 seconds and the height is 8 meters per second. To find the area, you use the equation: <span>area of triangle = 1⁄2 × base × height </span><span>so the area of the light-blue triangle is 1⁄2 × 8 × 4 = 16m. </span></span></span><span> Area of dark-blue rectangle The width of the rectangle is 6 seconds and the height is 8 meters per second. So the area is 8 × 6 = 48m.</span><span> Area under the whole graph <span>The area of the light-blue triangle plus the area of the dark-blue rectangle is:16 + 48 = 64m.<span>This is the total area under the distance-time graph. This area represents the distance covered.</span></span></span></span>

A slinky forms it’s third harmonic standing wave when the input frequency is 24 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the sli
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: The fundamental frequency of the slinky = 8Hz

An input frequency of 28 Hz will not create a standing wave

Explanation:

Let Fo = fundamental frequency

At third harmonic,

F = 3Fo

If F = 24Hz

24 = 3Fo

Fo = 24/3 = 8Hz

If an input frequency = 28 Hz at 3rd harmonic

Let find the fundamental frequency

28 = 3Fo

Fo = 28/3

Fo = 9.33333Hz

Since Fo isn't a whole number, it can't create a standing wave
