Answer:

Visible light, which travels at a dizzying 186,282 miles per second through space, is just one part of light's broad spectrum, which encompasses all electromagnetic radiation. We can detect visible light because of cone-shaped cells in our eyes that are sensitive to the wavelengths of some forms of light

Answer:

The visible light spectrum is the segment of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can view. More simply, this range of wavelengths is called visible light. Typically, the human eye can detect wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers.

Find the ratio of the lengths of the two mathematical pendulums, if the ratio of periods is 1.5

juin [17]

Answer:

The ratio of lengths of the two mathematical pendulums is 9:4.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The ratio of periods of two pendulums is 1.5

Let the lengths be L₁ and L₂.

The time period of a simple pendulum is given by :

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}$

$T^2=4\pi^2\dfrac{l}{g}\\\\l=\dfrac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}$

Where

l is length of the pendulum

$l\propto T^2$

$\dfrac{l_1}{l_2}=(\dfrac{T_1}{T_2})^2$ ....(1)

ATQ,

$\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}=1.5$

Put in equation (1)

$\dfrac{l_1}{l_2}=(1.5)^2\\\\=\dfrac{9}{4}$

So, the ratio of lengths of the two mathematical pendulums is 9:4.

If the pressure acting on a given sample of an ideal gas at constant temperature is tripled, what happens to the volume of the g

oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law for constant temperature of gas Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of gas.

$PV=nRT$

$PV=constant$

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

if Pressure is tripled then

$P\times V_1=3P\times V_2$

$V_2=\frac{V_1}{3}$

Volume becomes one-third of original volume

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
$\theta_c = \arcsin( \frac{1.46}{1.50} )=\arcsin(0.973)=76.7^{\circ}$
