In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 560 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 17.2 ns . When a sla

b of glass with a thickness of 0.810 m is placed in the light beam, with the beam incident along the normal to the parallel faces of the slab, it takes the light a time of 20.8 ns to travel from the laser to the photocell.
Required:

Answer:

Distance traveled = 3 * 10E8 * 17.2 * 10E-9 = 5.16 m

.81 / 3 * 10E8 = 2.7 * 10E-9    normal time thru glass

(20.8 - 17.2) * E10-9 = 3.6 * 10E-9   additional time due to glass

c tg = c n ta      where tg and ta are the times spent in glass and air

(Note you can also write Va = n Vg  or  D / ta = n D / tg)

n = tg / ta = 3.6 / 2.7 = 1.33 the index of refraction of the glass

Wavelength (air) = Wavelength (glass) * n

Wavelenght = 560 nm / 1.33 = 421 nm

andriy [413]
<h2>Answer: White light becomes a range of colors after passing through a prism.</h2>

Explanation:

White light is composed by a range of colors, this was discovered by Isaac Newton when he observed that a beam of white light was refracted (the different rays of light are diverted depending on their wavelengths) when passing through a prism .

This phenomenom was later called dispersion.

A coil of wire contains N turns and has an electrical resistance R. The radius of each turn is a. Initially, inside the coil the
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Using Faraday's law;

ε= -N ∆ψ(B)/ ∆t;

∆t= -N ∆ψ(B)/ ε

Explanation:

Using Faraday's law; Faraday's law state that the induced emf is directly proportional to the rate of change of time of magnetic flux

ε= -N ∆ψ(B)/ ∆t;

Where ε= induced EMF, ∆ψ(B)/ ∆t is the rate of change of magnetic flux, ψ(B) = BA cos θ

θ= the angle between the magnetic field B and the normal surface area.

We can also calculate the direction of induced magnetic flux. At first, the field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop,the loop can rotate about either an horizontal or vertical axis passing through the mid point

What's three pieces of evidence that Wegener used to support his theory ( Alfred Wegener’s hypothesis of continental drift state
Elis [28]

Answer:

In the early part of the 20th century, scientists began to put together evidence that the continents could move around on Earth's surface. The evidence for continental drift included the fit of the continents; the distribution of ancient fossils, rocks, and mountain ranges; and the locations of ancient climatic zones.

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of
madam [21]

Answer:

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of gas or liquid particles. How does this happen? As a gas or liquid is heated, the substance expands. This is because the particles in liquids and gases gain kinetic energy when they are heated and start to move faster.
