. 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

A proton moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B with arrow at a speed of 2.50 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration
KIM [24]

Answer:

A) B = 0.009185 T

B) Drection is negative y-direction

Explanation:

A) We are given;

Speed(v) = 2.5 x 10^(7) m/s

Acceleration (a) = 2.2 x 10^(13) m/s²

We also know that charge of proton(q) = 1.6 x 10^(-19)

Mass of proton(m) = 1.67 x 10^(-27)

Now, Since the proton is moving by circular motion, this force is equal to the centripetal force which is given as;

F = qvBsinθ = ma

Since perpendicular, θ = 90°

And so, sinθ = sin 90 = 1

Thus, qvB = ma

Making B the subject gives;

B = ma/qv

B = (1.67 X 10^(-27) X 2.2 X 10^13)) / (1.6 X 10^(-19) X 2.5 X 10^(7))

= 0.009185 T

B) By use of Flemings right hand rule, we can see that the middle finger points toward negative y-direction, so the magnetic field is in the negative y-direction

A 62Kg rock climber is attached to a rope that is allowing him to hang horizontally with his feet against the wall. The tension
posledela

Answer:

R= 602 .11 N

Explanation:

The horizontal component of tension T will give reaction of the wall and the vertical component of T will balance the weight of of the climber .

T cos32 = R

710 x .848 = R

R= 602 .11 N .
