:What will be the value of the refractive index of the medium? Critical angle of that medium is 30 degree

Physics

Answer:

Let the second medium be air (n₁=1)

The refractive index n₂ of the medium where first medium is air is found (a)

(a) n₂ = 2

Explanation:

Critical angle can be defined as the angle of incidence that provides the angle of refraction of 90°.

Refractive index of a medium can be defined as a number that describes that how fast a light will travel through that medium.

Critical angle and Refractive index are related by:

\theta_{critical}= sin^{-1}(\frac{n_1}{n_2})

sin \theta_{critical}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}

To find refractive index of medium with respect to air, substitute n₁=1 (Refractive index of air is 1)

Also θ(critical)=30°

Find n₂ :

sin30= \frac{1}{n_2}\\0.5=\frac{1}{n_2}\\n_2=\frac{1}{0.5}\\n_2=2

Find the distance in nm between two slits that produces the first minimum for 410-nm violet light at an angle of 14.5°.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

820 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength=\lambda=410 nm

\lambda=410\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

\theta=14.5^{\circ}

For first minimum therefore

m=0

We know that for destructive interference

(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda=dsin\theta

Substitute the values

(0+\frac{1}{2})\times 410\times 10^{-9}=dsin 14.5

d=\frac{410\times 10^{-9}}{2\times sin 14.5}

d=820\times 10^{-9} m=820 nm

Hence, the distance between two slits that produces the first minimum=820 nm

Eating 2500 Cal every day a friend of mine maintains a stable weight of 70 kg. One day, after eating 3500 Cal, he decided to do
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calories to be burnt = 3500 - 2500 = 1000 Cals .

Efficiency of conversion to mechanical work  is 25 % .

Work needed to burn this much of Cals = 1000 x 100 / 25 = 4000 Cals.

4000 Cals = 4.2 x 4000 = 16800 J  .

Work done in one jump = kinetic energy while jumping

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 70 x 3.3²

= 381.15 J .

Number of jumps required = 16800 / 381.15

= 44 .
