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:

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

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

$\lambda'=78.086\ nm$

You must exert a force of 4.5 N on a book to slide it across a table. If you do 2.7J

hoa [83]

Answer: 0.6m

Explanation:

Given that:

force = 4.5 N

Work done = 2.7J

Distance moved by the book = ?

Since work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance, apply the formula:

work = force x distance

2.7J = 4.5N x distance

Distance = (2.7J / 4.5N)

Distance = 0.6 m

Thus, the book was moved 0.6 metres far

A train of mass 5.6 × 10^5kg is at rest in a station.at time t=0s, a resultant force acts on the train and it starts to accelera

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

420000N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the train = 5.6 x 10⁵kg

Acceleration = 0.75m/s²

Unknown:

Resultant force = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law, force is the product of mass and acceleration;

Force = mass x acceleration

Resultant force that acts on the train is given below;

Force = 5.6 x 10⁵kg x 0.75m/s² = 420000N

When turning a magnet very quickly would be BEST used to create A) radiation. B) light waves. C) an electric current. D) a conve

Gre4nikov [31]

the correct choice is

C) an electric current.

as a magnet is turned quickly relative to a coil, the magnetic flux linked with coil varies due to variation of angle of direction of magnetic field with normal to the plane of coil. the coil resist this change of magnetic flux in it by inducing emf in it so as to nullify the variation in magnetic flux. Due to this induced emf , electric current flows through the coil.
