A ray of light traveling through air strikes a piece of diamond at an angle of incidence equal to 56 degrees. Calculate the angu

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The angle of separation is $\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of incidence is $\theta _ i = 56^o$

The refractive index of violet light in diamond is $n_v = 2.46$

The refractive index of red light in diamond is $n_r = 2.41$

The wavelength of violet light is $\lambda _v = 400nm = 400*10^{-9}m$

The wavelength of red light is $\lambda _r = 700nm = 700*10^{-9}m$

Snell's Law can be represented mathematically as

$\frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_r} = n$

Where $\theta_r$ is the angle of refraction

=> $sin \theta_r = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n}$

Now considering violet light

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_v}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.46}$

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = 0.337$

$\theta_r__{v}} = sin ^{-1} (0.337)$

$\theta_r__{v}} = 19.69^o$

Now considering red light

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_r}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.41}$

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = 0.344$

$\theta_r__{R}} = sin ^{-1} (0.344)$

$\theta_r__{R}} = 20.12^o$

The angle of separation between the red light and the violet light is mathematically evaluated as

$\Delta \theta = \theta_r__{R}} - \theta_r__{V}}$

substituting values

$\Delta \theta =20.12 - 19.69$

$\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$

How many million Christmas trees were sold in the year 2000?

Sergio039 [100]

Explanation:

Christmas tree production occurs worldwide on Christmas tree farms, in artificial tree factories and from native strands of pine and fir trees. Christmas trees, pine and fir trees purposely grown for use as a Christmas tree, are grown on plantations in many western nations, including Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. In Australia, the industry is relatively new, and nations such as the United States, Germany and Canada are among world leaders in annual production.

Great Britain consumes about 8 million trees annually, while in the United States between 35 and 40 million trees are sold during the Christmas season. Artificial Christmas trees are mostly produced in the Pearl River delta area of China. Christmas tree prices were described using a Hotelling-Faustmann model in 2001, the study showed that Christmas tree prices declined with age and demonstrated why more farmers do not price their trees by the foot. In 1993, economists made the first known demand elasticity estimates for the natural Christmas tree market.

if an object 18mm high is placed 12mm from a diverging lens and the image is formed 4mm in front of the lens what is the height

brilliants [131]

To solve this problem we use an amplification formula for divergent lenses

$M = \frac{i}{o} = \frac{h'}{h}$
