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 thin uniform rod (length = 1.2 m, mass = 2.0 kg) is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end of the rod. (
Anika [276]

Answer:

a=9.8 rad/s^{2}

Explanation:

Torque, \tau is given by

\tau=Fr where F is force and r is perpendicular distance

R=0.5Lcos\theta where \theta is the angle of inclination

Torque, \tau can also be found by

\tau=Ia where I is moment of inertia and a is angular acceleration

Therefore, Fr=Ia and F=mg where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

Making a the subject, a=\frac {Fr}{I}=\frac {mgr}{I} and already I is given as  

I=\frac {mL^{2}}{3} and r is 0.5Lcos\theta hence  

a=\frac {0.5mgLcos\theta}{1/3 mL^{2}}

a=\frac {3gcos\theta}{2L}

Taking g as 9.81, \theta is given as 37 and L is 1.2

a=\frac {3*9.81cos37}{2*1.2}=9.7932679419

a=9.8 rad/s^{2}

This is a velocity versus time graph of a car starting from rest. If the area under the line is 10 meters, what is the correspon
adelina 88 [10]

So the area under a velocity time graph is distance or displacement, if you have done calculus yet you will understand that if you take the integral of a velocity function then you end up with displacement. Thats for later understanding however.

So this appears to be a right triangle so we can find the area of a triangle as:

0.5bh = A

Since our area is 10 meters lets alter our formula a bit to fit the situation:

Our base here is time and our height is velocity so:

0.5tv = Δx

So we can read off the graph that our velocity at the end, or our final velocity appears to be near 2.0 m/s

So we have v, and Δx so lets isolate for time by dividing by v and 0.5

t = Δx / 0.5v

Now lets plug all that in:

t = 10 / 0.5(2)

t = 10 seconds

Hope this helped!
