Why does apparent depth of different liquids vary

1 answer:

6 0

It’s due to the refraction of light rays as they traverse the boundary between water and air. The greater the viewing angle, the more the bending of the light and therefore the less the apparent depth. An object placed in a denser medium, when viewed from rarer medium appears to be at a lesser depth than its real depth due to refraction of light.

Answer:

Explanation:

A 1 m long wire of diameter 1mm is submerged in an oil bath of temperature 25-degC. The wire has an electrical resistance per unit length of 0.01 Ω/m. If a current of 100 A flows through the wire and the convection coefficient is 500W/m2K, what is the steady state temperature of the wire? From the time the current is applied, how long does it take for the wire to reach a temperature within 1-degC of the steady state value? The density of the wire is 8,000kg/m3, its heat capacity is 500 J/kgK and its thermal condu

The diameter of the wire is known to be=1mm

properties=

The density of the wire is 8,000 kg/m3,

heat capacity is 500 J/kgK

themal conductivity is 20W/m.K

electrical resistance per unit length of 0.01 Ω/m

from lump capavity method

$B_{i} =\frac{hr/2}{k}$

500*(2.5*10^-4)/20

0.006<0.1

we know also, to find steady state temperature

$\pi$ Dh(T-Tinf)= $I^{2} R_{e}$

make T the subject of the equation , we have

T=25+ $\frac{100^2*0.01}{\pi*0.001*500 }$

T=88.7 degC

rate of chnage in temperature

dT/dt= $\frac{I^2*Re}{rho*c*\pi*D^2/4 } -\frac{4h}{rho*c*D} (T-Tinf)$

at t=o and integrating both sides $\frac{T-Tinf-(I^2*Re/\pi*Dh) }{Ti-Tinf-(I^2*Re/\pi*Dh } =exp\frac{-4ht}{rho*c*D}$

we have

$\frac{87.7-25-63.7}{25-25-63.7} =exp\frac{4*500t}{8000*500*0.001}$

t=8.31s

steady state temperature =88.7deg C

t=time within 1 degC of it steady stae is 8.31s

What comes first the color orange or the fruit orange

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Given the exoticism of the orange fruit, you could be forgiven that the color came first as it naturally occurs independent of the fruit such as in sunsets or leaves in autumn. Orange actually comes from the Old French word for the citrus fruit - 'pomme d'orenge' - according to the Collins dictionary.
