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 0.750kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 13.5N/m . While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it wit
vazorg [7]

Answer:

A)A=0.075 m

B)v= 0.21 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m = 0.75 kg

K= 13.5 N

The natural frequency of the block given as

\omega =\sqrt{\dfrac{K}{m}}

The maximum speed v given as

v=\omega A

A=Amplitude

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{K}{m}}\times A

0.32=\sqrt{\dfrac{13.5}{0.75}}\times A

A=0.075 m

A= 0.75 cm

The speed at distance x

v=\omega \sqrt{A^2-x^2}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{K}{m}}\times \sqrt{A^2-x^2}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{13.5}{0.75}}\times \sqrt{0.075^2-(0.075\times 0.75)^2}

v= 0.21 m/s

(6) A 75 kg human total footprint area is 0.05 m2 when wearing winter boots. Suppose that you want to walk on snow that can at m
fredd [130]

Answer:

0.25m²

Explanation:

We know that the summation of forces in the vertical direction is zero

So

PA-mg=0

A=mg/p

So

Substituting

A= 75* 9.8/3*10^-3

=0.25m² which is the total shoe area

A driver entering the outskirts of a city takes her foot off the accelerator so that the car slows down from 90 km/h to 50 km/h
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = (vf - vi) / t

a = (50 - 90) / 10.0

a = -4 km/h/s(1000 m/km / 3600 s/h)

a = - 1.11 m/s²

How is energy transferred throughout the roller coaster
solmaris [256]

Answer:

On a roller coaster, energy changes from potential to kinetic and back again many times over and over the course of the ride. Kinetic energy is energy that an object has because of its motion. All moving objects possess kinetic energy, which is determined by the mass and speed of the object.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

The stored elastic energy of compressed spring

= 1 / 2 k X²

= .5 x 19.6 x (.20)²

= .392 J

b ) The stored potential energy will be converted into gravitational potential energy of the block earth system when the block will ascend along the incline . So change in the gravitational potential energy will be same as stored elastic potential energy of the spring that is .392 J .

c ) Let h be the distance along the incline which the block ascends.

vertical height attained ( H ) =h sin30

= .5 h

elastic potential energy = gravitational energy

.392 = mg H

.392 = 2 x 9.8 x .5 h

h = .04 m

4 cm .
