The index of refraction of a clear plastic is listed as 1.89 in the book, but you measured the angle of incidence 63.5° and the

lakkis [162]

Answer:

<h2>index of refraction = 1.69</h2><h2>percentage error = 10.58%</h2>

Explanation:

According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is a constant for a given pair of media. The constant is known as the refractive index.

Mathematically $\frac{sin i}{sin r} = n$

i = angle of incidence measured = 63.5°

r = angle of refraction measured = 32°

n = refractive index

$n = \frac{sin 63.5^{0} }{sin 32^{0} } \\n = \frac{0.8949}{0.5299}\\ n = 1.69$

The index fraction calculated is approx. 1.69.

If the index of refraction of a clear plastic as listed in the book is 1.89 and the calculated is 1.69, the percentage error will be calculated as thus;

%error = $\frac{1.89-1.69}{1.89} * 100$

%error = $\frac{0.2}{1.89}*100$

%error = $\frac{20}{1.89}$

%error = 10.58%

Gaseous helium is in thermal equilibrium with liquid helium at 6.4 K. The mass of a helium atom is 6.65 × 10−27 kg and Boltzmann

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.

Explanation:

The most probable speed:

$v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2K_bT}{m}}$

$K_b$ = Boltzmann’s constant = $1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K$

T = temperature of the gas

m = mass of the gas particle.

Given, m = $6.65\times 10^{-27} kg$

T = 6.4 K

Substituting all the given values :

$v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 6.4 K}{6.65\times 10^{-27} kg}}$

$v_{mp}=162.78 m/s$

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.

1)the magnetic field is strongest near_________of a bar magnet.

horrorfan [7]

1. Is A. at the poles because thats where the magnetic field is going out then coming back into the earth to produce the magnetic field.
2. Again its A. because the compass needle is attracted to " north " which is magnetic south. It does this because opposites attract.
3. This one would be B. Because if the magnets were being repelled the magnetic field lines would look like there was a line that the field hit and bounced off of it.
4. This answer is A. the magnetite helps them migrate so they know which way is north and which way is south.
5. This answer is A. Because without the domains there wouldn't be poles on the magnetic object. <span />
