Answer:

2.46

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Critical angle (C) = 24 °

Refractive index (n) =?

The refractive index of the diamond can be obtained by using the following formula as illustrated below:

Refractive index (n) = 1 / sine [critical angle (C)]

n = 1/sine C

n = 1 / sine 24 °

n = 1/0.4067

n = 2.46

Thus, the refractive index of the diamond is 2.46

In a mass spectrometer, a single-charged particle (charge e) has a speed of 1.0 × 10 6 m/s and enters a uniform magnetic field o

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The mass is $m =6.4*10^{-28} \ kg$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the charge is $v = 1.0 *10^{6} \ m/s$

The magnetic field is $B = 0.20 \ T$

The radius is $r = 0.02 \ m$

The value of the charge is $e = 1.60 *10^{-19} \ C$

The centripetal acting on the charge moving in the circular orbit is mathematically represented as

$F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r }$

Now this centripetal force is due to the force exerted on the charge by the magnetic field on the charge which is mathematically represented as

$F_m = qv B sin\theta$

At the maximum of this magnetic force $\theta = 90 ^o$

$F_m = e v B sin(90)$

$F_m = e v B$

Now given that it is this magnetic force that is causing the circular motion we have that

$F_c = F_m$

=> $\frac{mv^2}{r } = ev B$

=> $m = \frac{e * B * r }{v }$

substituting values

$m = \frac{ 1.60 *10^{-19} * 0.20 * 0.020 }{1.0*10^{6} }$

$m =6.4*10^{-28} \ kg$

Amount consumed from each food group depends on their age,gender,and physical activity of a person

Len [333]

I think you wanted to know whether the statement given is true or false. Based on this assumption, i am trying to answer the question as accurately as possible and hope that it helps. It is a true statement that amount consumed from each food group depends on their age, gender and physical activity of a person. A sportsman will consume a different amount from each food group than a normal person is a simple example.
