A black lift of amber is placed in water and a laser beam travels from the water through the amber. The angle of incidence is 35

degrees while the angle of refraction is 24 degrees. What is the index of refraction of amber
Physics

horsena [70]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

refractive index of ember = sin of angle of incidence / sin of angle of refraction

= sin 35 / sin24

= .5735 / .4067

= 1.41

This is refractive index of ember with respect to water

refractive index of ember with respect to water

= wμe = μe / μw

μe = wμe x  μw

= 1.33 x 1.41

= 1.87

refractive index of ember with respect to air = 1.87 .

A nurse pushes a cart by exerting a force on the handle at a downward angle of 36 degrees below the horizontal. the loaded cart
Troyanec [42]

Since it was stated that it must move at constant velocity, so the only force it must overpower is the frictional force.

So the equation is:

F cos θ = Ff

F cos 36 = 65 N

F = 80.34 N

 

<span>So the nurse must exert 80.34 N of force</span>

Suppose light from a 632.8 nm helium-neon laser shines through a diffraction grating ruled at 520 lines/mm. How many bright line
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

1 bright fringe every 33 cm.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the position of the m-th order brigh line (constructive interference) produced by diffraction of light through a diffraction grating is:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}

where

m is the order of the maximum

\lambda is the wavelength of the light

D is the distance of the screen

d is the separation between two adjacent slit

Here we have:

\lambda=632.8 nm = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m is the wavelength of the light

D = 1 m is the distance of the screen (not given in the problem, so we assume it to be 1 meter)

n=520 lines/mm is the number of lines per mm, so the spacing between two lines is

d=\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{520}=1.92\cdot 10^{-3} mm = 1.92\cdot 10^{-6} m

Therefore, substituting m = 1, we find:

y=\frac{(632.8\cdot 10^{-9})(1)}{1.92\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.330 m

So, on the distant screen, there is 1 bright fringe every 33 cm.

A boat is drifting with a speed of 5.0\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}5.0 s m ​ 5, point, 0, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s,
zepelin [54]

Answer:

d=42m(-\hat{i})

Explanation:

For this problem, we need to apply the formulas of constant accelerated motion.

To obtain the boat displacement we need to calculate the displacement because of the river flow and the displacement done because of the boat motor.

for the river:

d_r=v*t\\d_r=5m/s*6s\\d_r=30m(\hat{i})

for the boat:

x=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\\\x=\frac{1}{2}*4.0m/s*(6s)^2\\\\\\x=72m(-\hat{i})

So the final displacement is given by:

d=dr+x\\d=30m-72m\\d=42m(-\hat{i})
