. A laser beam shines along the surface of a block of transparent material (see Fig. E33.8). Half of the beam goes straight to a

detector, while the other half travels through the block and then hits the detector. The time delay between the arrival of the two light beams at the detector is 6.25 ns. What is the index of refraction of this material

Answer:

n = 1,875

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is constant (c) and in a material medium it is

          v = d / t

The refractive index of a material is defined by

         n = c / v

         

Let's look for the speed of light in the material, in general the length that light travels is known, this value is high, x = 1, when we place a block on the road, a small amount is lengthened by the length of the block, which in general is despised

These measurements are made on a digital oscilloscope that allows to stop the signals and measure their differences, that is, the zero is taken when the first ray arrives and the time for the second ray is measured,

         

         v = d / t

         v = 1 / 6.25 10⁻⁹

         v = 1.6 10⁸ m / s

we calculate the refractive index

        n = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁸

        n = 1,875

When using a cell phone, a(n) ________ converter chip changes your voice's sound waves into digital signals.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: analog-to-digital

Explanation: Analog-to-digital converters as the name implies simply refers to components which are used to convert continuous analog signals into a discrete analog outputs so they it can be read and processed by a microprocessor. The microprocessors are unable to depict and read analog signals which could be gathered from sound, light or water wave sources. This wave sources are then sampled, processed and sorted into levels by the analog-to-digital converter before being sent to the microprocessor so that the waves can be read.

Answer:

For a velocity versus time graph how do you know what the velocity is at a certain  time?

Ans: By drawing a line parallel to the y axis (Velocity axis) and perpendicular to the co-ordinate of the Time on the x axis (Time Axis). The point on the slope of the graph where this line intersects, will be the desired velocity at the certain time.

_____________________________________________________

How do you know the acceleration at a certain time?

Ans: We\ know\ that\ acceleration = \frac{Final\ velocity-Initial\ Velocity}{Time\ taken}

Hence,

By dividing the difference of the Final and Initial Velocity by the Time Taken, we could find the acceleration.

How do you know the  Displacement at a certain time?

Ans: As Displacement equals to the area enclosed by the slope of the Velocity-Time Graph, By finding the area under the slope till the perpendicular at the desired time, we find the Displacement.
