A device known as an optical resonator is used in lasers. An optical resonator consists of an arrangement of mirrors that reflec

t electromagnetic radiation back and forth within an empty cavity. The electromagnetic radiation within the cavity reflects off of the mirrors multiple times. The mirrors are precisely placed so that only particular frequencies can survive within the cavity via constructive interference. All other frequencies are suppressed via destructive interference. The end result is a beam of light of a certain frequency.
An optical resonator of the type described above depends on the tendency of light to
A. behave as a wave.
B. excite atoms to certain energy levels.
C. excite electrons to certain energy levels.
D. behave as a particle.

Answer:

A. The resonator behaves as a wave guide (a hollow pipe used as a transmission line). The characteristics of the pipe depend on the type of the wave to be transmitted.

A net force of –8750N is used to stop of 1250.kg car travelling 25m/s. What braking distance is needed to bring the car to a hal
Karolina [17]

Answer:

d = 44.64 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Net force acting on the car, F = -8750 N

The mass of the car, m = 1250 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 25 m/s

Final speed, v = 0 (it stops)

The formula for the net force is :

F = ma

a is acceleration of the car

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{-8750}{1250}\\\\a=-7\ m/s^2

Let d be the breaking distance. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{0^2-(25)^2}{2\times (-7)}\\\\d=44.64\ m

So, the required distance covered by the car is 44.64 m.

Electromagnetic radiation of 8.12×10¹⁸ Hz frequency is applied on a metal surface and caused electron emission. Determine the wo
klemol [59]

Answer:

The work function ϕ of the metal = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J      

Explanation:

When light is incident on a photoelectric material like metal, photoelectrons are emitted from the surface of the metal. This process is called photoelectric effect.

The relationship between the maximum kinetic energy (E_{k}) of the photoelectrons to the frequency of the absorbed photons (f) and the threshold frequency (f₀) of the photoemissive metal surface is:

                                        E_{k} = h(f − f₀)

                                        E_{k} = hf - hf₀

E is the energy of the absorbed photons:  E = hf

ϕ is the work function of the surface:  ϕ = hf₀

                                        E_{k} = E - ϕ

Frequency f = 8.12×10¹⁸ Hz

Maximum kinetic energy E_{k} = 4.16×10⁻¹⁷ J  

Speed of light  c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Planck's constant h = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js                                

                                        E = hf = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ x 8.12×10¹⁸

                                        E = 53.8356 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

from E_{k} = E - ϕ ;

                                        ϕ = E - E_{k}

                                        ϕ = 53.8356 x 10⁻¹⁶ - 4.16×10⁻¹⁷

                                        ϕ = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

The work function of the metal ϕ = 53.4196 x 10⁻¹⁶ J

According to newton's law of gravitation, what affects the force of attraction between two objects? distance between them angle
OlgaM077 [116]

The force of attraction between two objects Mass and distance.

<h3>What is newton's law of gravitation?</h3>

Every particle in the cosmos attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centres, according to Newton's law of universal gravitation.

Inductive reasoning, as described by Isaac Newton, was used to deduce this general physical law from actual facts. It was created by Newton and is a component of classical mechanics. Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, also known as "the Principia," was originally published on July 5, 1687. In April 1686, when Newton gave Book 1 of the unpublished book to the Royal Society, Robert Hooke said that Newton had learned the inverse square law from him.

According to the law, every point mass attracts every other point mass when a force applies along the line that intersects the two points, in today's parlance. The force is inversely equal to the square of the separation between the masses and directly proportional to their product.

F = G\frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}  }

At the normal boiling temperature of iron, TB = 3330 K, the rate of change of the vapor pressure of liquid iron with temperature
Margaret [11]

The molar latent enthalpy of boiling of iron at 3330 K is  ΔH = 342 \times 10^3 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molar enthalpy of fusion is the amount of energy needed to change one mole of a substance from the solid phase to the liquid phase at constant temperature and pressure.

                      d ln p = (ΔH / RT^2) dt

                   (1/p) dp = (ΔH / RT^2) dt

                    dp / dt = p (ΔH / RT^2) = 3.72 \times 10^-3

                  (p) (ΔH) / (8.31) (3330)^2 = 3.72 \times 10^-3

                          ΔH = 342 \times 10^3 J.

A4.00-kg box sits on a ramp that is inclined at 30°above the horizontal.The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and
enot [183]

From the calculation, we can see that the force that  moves the box forward is 5.7 N.

<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>

The term frictional force refers to the force that opposes motion. Given that;

ma = ukmgcosθ + F

Let F be the forward force.

Hence;

F = ma - ukmgcosθ

F = 4 * 3 - (0.32 * 4.00 * 9.8 * sin 30)

F =  5.7 N
