What causes dispersion of light?

1 answer:

7 0

Dispersion occurs due to the different degrees of refraction experienced by different colours of light. Light of different colours may travel with the same speed in a vacuum, but they travel at different speeds in some refracting medium. The speed of violet light is relatively lower than that of red light.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

a. The station is rotating at $1.496 \frac{rev}{min}$

b. the rotation needed is $2.8502 \frac{rev}{min}$

Explanation:

We know that the centripetal acceleration is

$a_{c}= \omega ^2 r$

where $\omega$ is the rotational speed and r is the radius. As the centripetal acceleration is feel like an centrifugal acceleration in the rotating frame of reference (be careful, as the rotating frame of reference is <u>NOT INERTIAL,</u> the centrifugal force is a fictitious force, the real force is the centripetal).

The rotational speed is :

$2.7 \frac{m}{s^2} = \omega ^2 * 110 \ m$

$\omega ^2 = \frac{2.7 \frac{m}{s^2}} {110 \ m}$

$\omega = \sqrt{ 0.02454 \frac{rad^2}{s^2} }$

$\omega = 0.1567 \frac{rad}{s}$

Knowing that there are $2\pi \ rad$ in a revolution and 60 seconds in a minute.

$\omega = 0.1567 \frac{rad}{s} \frac{1 \ rev}{2\pi \ rad} \frac{60 \ s}{1 \ min}$

$\omega = 1.496 \frac{rev}{min}$

The rotational speed needed is :

$9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} = \omega ^2 * 110 \ m$

$\omega ^2 = \frac{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}} {110 \ m}$

$\omega = \sqrt{ 0.08909 \frac{rad^2}{s^2} }$

$\omega = 0.2985 \frac{rad}{s}$

Knowing that there are $2\pi \ rad$ in a revolution and 60 seconds in a minute.

$\omega = 0.2985 \frac{rev}{min} \frac{1 \ rev}{2\pi \ rad} \frac{60 \ s}{1 \ min}$

$\omega = 2.8502 \frac{rev}{min}$

A 15.0 kg turntable with a radius of 25 cm is covered with a uniform layer of dry ice that has a mass of 9.0 kg. The angular spe

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

ω₂=1.20

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the turn table ,M= 15 kg

mass of the ice ,m= 9 kg

radius ,r= 25 cm

Initial angular speed ,ω₁ = 0.75 rad/s

Initial mass moment of inertia

$I_1=\dfrac{M+m}{2}r^2$

$I_1=\dfrac{15+9}{2}\times 0.25^2\ kg.m^2$

$I_1=0.75\ kg.m^2$

Final mass moment of inertia

$I_2=\dfrac{M}{2}r^2$

$I_2=\dfrac{15}{2}\times 0.25^2\ kg.m^2$

$I_2=0.468\ kg.m^2$

Lets take final speed of the turn table after ice evaporated =ω₂ rad/s

Now by conservation angular momentum

I₁ ω₁ =ω₂ I₂

$\omega_2=\dfrac{0.75\times 0.75}{0.468}\ rad/s$

ω₂=1.20
