The index of refraction of quartz is anisotropic. Suppose that visible light is passing from one grain to another of different c

rystallographic orientation and at normal incidence to the grain boundary. Calculate the reflectivity at the boundary if the indices of refraction for the two grains are 1.545 and 1.555 in the direction of light propagation. Enter your answer in accordance to the question statement

Answer:

1.04*10⁻⁵

Explanation:

light wave do showcase some behaviors whenever there is encounters with the end of the medium, some of the behaviors are - reflection, refraction, as well as diffraction. When visible light wave strikes a boundary that exist two different media, a portion of the energy will be transmitted into the new medium and some reflected.

Reflection of a light wave can be regarded as bouncing off of light wave from boundary. refraction on other hand is bending of the path of a light wave.

We were to calculate the reflectivity at the boundary,

reflectivity at the boundary can be calculated using the expression below

Reflectivity= (n₂ - n₁)² /(n₂ + n₁ ) ²

where

n₁= Indices of refraction at first grain= 1.545

n₂= Indices of refraction at second grain=

1.555

(1.555 - 1.545)² / (1.555 - 1.545)²

=(0.01)²/ (3.1)²

= 0.0001/ 9.61

= 1.04*10⁻⁵

Hence, the reflectivity at the boundary if the indices of refraction for the two grains are 1.545 and 1.555 in the direction of light propagation is 1.04*10⁻⁵

¿A qué velocidad debe circular un auto de carreras para recorrer 87 km en 20 min? (pasar a metros por segundo m/s)
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Velocidad en m / s = 72,25 m / s

Explanation:

Dado

Distancia a recorrer por el coche de carreras = 87 Km

1 km = 1000 m

Por lo tanto, 87 km = 87000 m

Tiempo necesario para viajar 87 km / 87000 metros = 20 minutos o 20 * 60 = 1200 segundos

Velocidad en m / s = 87000/1200

Velocidad en m / s = 72,25 m / s

A force of 85 N is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 15 m. How much work was done?
denpristay [2]

Answer:

1275J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on box  = 85N

Distance moved  = 15m

Unknown:

Work done  = ?

Solution:

Work done is the amount of force applied on a body to move it through a specific distance.

 Work done  = Force x distance

Now insert the parameters and solve;

 Work done = 85 x 15  = 1275J

Determine the normal boiling point of a substance whose vapor pressure is 55.1 mm hg at 35°c and has a δhvap of 32 .1 kj/mol. de
atroni [7]
Classius claperyon equation
In (P2/ P2) = ΔHvap/R) × (1/T2-1/T1)
T2 occurs at normal boiling when vapor pressure P2 = 1 atm.
P1 = 55.1 mmHg, P2 = 1 atm = 760mmHg
T1 = 35°c = 308.15k, T2 =
ΔHvap = 32.1kJ/mol = 32100 J/mol
In (760/55.1) = (-32100/ 8.314) × ( 1/T2 - 1/308.15)
The normal boiling point T2 = 390k = 117°c
