A laser beam is incident on a plate of glass that is 2.8 cm thick. The glass has an index of refraction of 1.6 and the angle of

incidence is 36°. The top and bottom surfaces of the glass are parallel. What is the distance b between the beam formed by reflection off the top surface of the glass and the beam reflected off the bottom surface of the glass?

Answer:

 b = 2.22 cm

Explanation:

The laser hits a point where the origin of the coordinate system is to carry out the measurements. When the ray enters the glass the angle of refraction is given by the equation

       n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n₁ is the index of refraction of air n₁ = 1 and n₂ is the index of refraction of glass n₂ = 1.6

       sin θ₂ = n₁ /n₂ sin θ₁

     

       sin θ₂ = 1 / 1.6 sin 36

       sin θ₂ = 0.367

        θ₂ = sin⁻¹ 0.367

        θ₂ = 21.6º

 with this angle and trigonometry we can find the distance x that the ray advances before reaching the bottom of the glass plate

        tan 21.6 = x / d

where d is the thickness of the glass d = 2.8 cm

         x = d tan 21.6

         x = 2.8 tan 21.6

         x = 1.11 cm

 as in the second surface it has a process of reflection the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence θ_reflected = 21.6º, therefore to return to the upper surface recreate the same distance, therefore the total distance is

           b = 2x

           b = 2 1.11

           b = 2.22 cm

A circular loop with radius r is rotating with constant angular velocity ω in a uniform electric field with magnitude E. The axi
inn [45]

Answer:

\Phi_{E} = E\pi r^2 \omega t

Explanation:

The electric flux is defined as the multiple of electric field and the area that the electric field passes through, such that

\Phi_{E} = \vec{E}\vec{A}

When calculating the electric flux, the angle between the directions of electric field and the area becomes important, especially if the angle is changing with time.

The above formula can be rewritten as follows

\Phi_{E} = EA\cos(\theta)

where θ is the angle between the electric field and the area of the loop. Note that, the direction of the area of the loop is perpendicular to the plane of the loop.

If the loop is rotating with constant angular velocity ω, then the angle can be written as follows

\theta = \omega t

At t = 0, cos(0) = 1 and the electric flux through the loop is at its maximum value.

Therefore the electric flux can be written as a function of time

\Phi_{E} = E\pi r^2 \omega t

A bird is about 6.26.2 in.​ long, with a​ thin, dark bill and a​ wide, white wing stripe. If the bird can fly 9292 mi with the w
Trava [24]

Answer:

209 mph

Explanation:

V = Speed of bird in still air

v = Speed of wind = 44 mph

Consider the motion of the bird with the wind

D_{1} = distance traveled with the wind = 9292 mi

t_{1} = time taken to travel the distance with wind

Time taken to travel the distance with wind is given as

t_{1} = \frac{D_{1}}{V + v}

t_{1} = \frac{9292}{V + 44}                              eq-1

Consider the motion of the bird with the wind

D_{2} = distance traveled against the wind = 6060 mi

t_{2} = time taken to travel the distance against wind

Time taken to travel the distance against wind is given as

t_{2} = \frac{D_{2}}{V + v}

t_{2} = \frac{6060}{V - 44}                              eq-2

As per the question,

Time taken with the wind = Time taken against the wind

t_{1} = t_{2}

\frac{9292}{V + 44} = \frac{6060}{V - 44}

(9292) (V - 44) = (6060) (V + 44)

9292V - 408848 = 6060V + 266640

3232V = 675488

V = 209 mph
