The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency? Hz(b) What is its wavelength in glas

<h2>Answers:</h2>

The speed of a wave is given by:

$v=f.\lambda$ (1)

Where $f$ is the frequency and $\lambda$ the wavelength.

In the case of light, its speed is:

$c=f.\lambda$ (2)

On the other hand, the described situation is known as Refraction, a phenomenon in which the light changes its direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.

In this context, the Refractive index $n$ is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material, and is defined as the relation between the speed of light in vacuum ( $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ ) and the speed of light $v$ in the second medium:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$ (3)

In addition, as the light changes its direction, its wavelength changes as well:

$n=\frac{\lambda_{air}}{\lambda_{glass}}$ (4)

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2>a) Frequency</h2>

From equation (2) we can find $f$ :

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ (5)

Knowing that $1nm=(10)^{-9}m$ :

$f=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{632.8(10)^{-9}m}$

$f=4.74(10)^{14}Hz}$ (6) >>>Frequency of the helium-neon laser light

<h2>b) Wavelength in glass</h2>

We already know the wavelength of the light in air $\lambda_{air}$ and the index of refraction of the glass.

So, we only have to find the wavelength in glass $\lambda_{glass}$ from equation (4):

$\lambda_{glass}=\frac{\lambda_{air}}{n}$

$\lambda_{glass}=\frac{632.8(10)^{-9}m}{1.48}$

$\lambda_{glass}=427(10)^{-9}m=427nm$ (7) >>>Wavelength of the helium-neon laser light in glass

<h2>c) Speed in glass</h2>

From equation (3) we can find the speed $v$ of this light in glass:

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

$v=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{1.48}$

$v=2.027(10)^{8}m/s$ (8) >>>Speed of the helium-neon laser light in glass

Name two energy transformations that occur as Adeline pedals her bicycle up a steep hill and then coasts down the other side.

Why is the nucleus of an atom dense

Inessa [10]

Explanation:

The nucleus of an atom is dense because it contains more of particles in a very little space.

The nucleus is the center of an atom made up of the protons and neutrons.

Atomic nucleus is very small compared to the size of the atom.

Density is function of mass and volume.

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance.

Volume is the space occupied by a substance.

The more the mass the more the density.

Since protons and neutron are massive bodies occupying a small space, they make the nucleus very dense.

A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 2.84 m/s2 at the instant when a second car moving with a velocity of 25.7 m/s pas

vredina [299]

Answer:

464.69 m

Explanation:

First car

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}2.84t^2\\\Rightarrow s=1.42t^2$

Second car

Distance = Speed × Time

$\text{Distance}=25.7t$

Here, the time taken and the distance traveled will be the same

Equating the two equations

$1.42t^2=25.7t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{25.7}{1.42}\\\Rightarrow t=18.09\ s$

So, the first would have to move $1.42t^2=1.42\times 18.09^2=464.69\ m$ in order to overtake the second car.

A tissue is made of a group of similar what working together

matrenka [14]

Cells.

When you have a group of similar cells, you make tissues. This is like having many specialized muscle cells grouping together to make a muscle tissue that can then make something like a bicep. <span />
