xz_007 [3.2K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Alpha particles are Helium nuclei consisting of 2 protons and two neutrons (mass number 4, atomic number 2, no electrons and so carry a 2+ charge).

Over [174]

Answer:

v=32.9m/s

Explanation:

The acceleration needed to mantain a circular motion of radius r and speed v is given by the equation a=v^2/r

This is the centripetal acceleration. The person will feel what is called a centrifugal acceleration, of the same value, because he is not in an inertial frame (thus subject to fictitious forces, product of inertia).

We want to know the speed of his head when it is subject to 12.5 times the value of the acceleration of gravity while moving on a 8.84m radius circle, so we must do:

v=\sqrt{ar} = \sqrt{12.5gr}=\sqrt{(12.5)(9.8m/s)(8.84m)}=32.9m/s

The refractive index n of transparent acrylic plastic (full name Poly(methyl methacrylate)) depends on the color (wavelength) of
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block is  

 \theta _d  =0.19 ^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for blue light is  n_F  =  1.497

     The  wavelength of the blue light is F  =  486.1 nm  =  486.1 *10^{-9} \ m

    The  refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for red light is  n_C  =  1.488

       The  wavelength of the red light is C =  656.3 nm  = 656.3 *10^{-9} \  m

    The incidence angle is  i  =  45^o

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the blue light  in the acrylic block  is mathematically represented as

       r_F =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) *  n_a }{n_F} ]

Where  n_a is the refractive index of air which have a value ofn_a =  1

So

     r_F =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) *  1 }{ 1.497} ]

      r_F  =  28.18^o

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the red light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

       r_C =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) *  n_a }{n_C} ]

Where  n_a is the refractive index of air which have a value ofn_a =  1

So

     r_C =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) *  1 }{ 1.488} ]

      r_F  =  28.37^o

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block

     \theta _d  =  r_C  - r_F

substituting values

       \theta _d  = 28.37 -  28.18

       \theta _d  =0.19 ^o
