. 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

All light waves move through a vacuum with a constant speed. True or False
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave is defined as the wave which is associated with both electrical and magnetic component associated with them. They can travel in vacuum as well and travel with the speed of light.

Electromagnetic spectrum consists of electromagnetic waves called as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, Visible, ultraviolet , X rays and gamma rays in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength.

Thus the statement that All light waves move through a vacuum with a constant speed is true.

A sports car is advertised to be able to stop in a distance of 50.0 m from a speed is 99.0km/h. What is its acceleration in m/s2
Shtirlitz [24]
99.0km/h =27.5m/s (this is the initial speed)
The final speed is zero
The distance is 50.0m
Therefore you use the formula:
vfinal²=vinitial²+2ad
a=(vfinal²-vinitial²)/2d
 = (0²-27.5²)/(2x50.0)
 =-7.5625 or in correct sigdigs -7.56m/s²
Hope this helps!

In a football game, a receiver is standing still, having just caught a pass. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocit
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg    

Explanation:

The football players collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V=1.6m/s.

We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision, at the initial point the receiver does not have any speed

m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}=(m_{tackler}+m_{receiver})V     (1)

We solve in order to find the receiver mass:

m_{receiver}={m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}/V}-m_{tackler}    

m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg

Suppose you want to determine the resistance of a resistor that is nominally 100 . You should be able to apply 10 V across the r
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

a) For y = 102 mA, R = 98.039 ohms

For y = 97 mA, R = 103.09 ohms

b) Check explanatios for b

Explanation:

Applied voltage, V = 10 V

For the first measurement, current y_{1} = 102 mA = 0.102 A

According to ohm's law, V = IR

R = V/I

Here, I = y_{1}

R = \frac{V}{y_{1} } \\R = \frac{10}{0.102} \\R = 98.039 ohms

For the second measurement, current y_{2} = 97 mA = 0.097 A

R = \frac{V}{y_{2} }

R = \frac{10}{0.097} \\R = 103 .09 ohms

b) y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}y_{1} &y_{2} \end{array}\right] ^{T}

y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}y_{1} \\y_{2} \end{array}\right]

y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-3} \\97*10^{-3}  \end{array}\right]

A linear equation is of the form y = Gx

The nominal value of the resistance = 100 ohms

x = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}100\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-3} \\97*10^{-3}  \end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}G_{1} \\G_{2}  \end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}100\end{array}\right]\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}G_{1} \\G_{2}  \end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-5} \\97*10^{-5}  \end{array}\right]
