In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 530 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 16.7 ns . When a sla
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

\lambda'=78.086\ nm

Explanation:

Given:

  • wavelength of light in the air, \lambda=530\times 10^{-9}\ m
  • time taken to travel from the source to the photocell via air, t=16.7\ s
  • time taken to reach the photocell via air and glass slab, t'=21.3\times 10^{-9}\ s
  • thickness of the glass slab, x=0.87\ m

<u>Now we have the relation for time:</u>

\rm time=\frac{distance}{speed}

hence,

t=\frac{d}{c}

c= speed of light in air

16.7\times 10^{-9}=\frac{d}{3\times 10^8}

d=16.7\times 10^{-9}\times 3\times 10^8

d=5.01\ m

For the case when glass slab is inserted between the path of light:

\frac{(d-x)}{c} +\frac{x}{v} =t' (since light travel with the speed c only in the air)

here:

v = speed of light in the glass

\frac{(5.01-0.87)}{3\times 10^8} +\frac{0.87}{v} =21.3\times 10^{-9}

v=4.42\times 10^7\ m.s^{-1}

Using Snell's law:

\frac{\lambda}{\lambda'} =\frac{c}{v}

\frac{530}{\lambda'} =\frac{3\times 10^8}{4.42\times 10^7}

\lambda'=78.086\ nm

C. hydrogen accreted onto a white dwarf from a close companion rapidly fuses to helium, releasing a large amount of energy.

The accreted material, composed mainly of hydrogen, is compacted on the surface of the white dwarf due to the intense gravitational force on that place. As material accumulates, The white dwarf becomes increasingly hot, until it reaches the critical temperature for ignition of nuclear fusion.

A uniform disk with a 25 cm radius swings without friction about a nail through the rim. If it is released from rest from a posi
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

During the swing , the center of mass will go down due to which disc will lose potential energy which will be converted into rotational kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2 I ω² where m is mass of the disc , h is height by which c.m goes down which will be equal to radius of disc , I is moment of inertia of disc about the nail at rim , ω is angular velocity .

mgr  = 1/2 x ( 1/2 m r²+ mr²) x ω²

gr  = 1/2 x 1/2  r² x ω² + 1/2r² x ω²

g = 1 / 4 x ω² r + 1 / 2 x ω² r

g = 3  x ω² r/ 4

ω² = 4g /3 r

= 4 x 9.8 /  3 x  .25

= 52.26

ω = 7.23  rad / s .

Who is most likely to benefit from use of lithium?
Alexxx [7]
I think that the people who are most likely to benefit from lithium is people with bipolar disorder. Because there have been tests that recently show that they use it for patients with that disease.
