Answer:

Solution

(a) The labelled diagram is shown.

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. Refractive index of diamond is the ratio of the speed of light in air to the speed of light in diamond.i.e.,

μ=

Speedoflightindiamond

Speedoflightinair

and, the ratio of these velocities is 2.42. i.e., This means that the speed of light in diamond will reduce by a factor of 2.42 as compared to its speed in air. In other words, the speed of light in diamond is

1/2.42

times the speed of light in vacuum.

Explanation:

a) Draw and label the diagram given :

(i) Incident ray

(ii) Refracted ray

(iii) Emergent ray

(iv) Angle of reflection

(v) Angle of deviation

(v) Angle of emergence

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. What is the meaning of this statement in relation to speed of light?

An object is thrown directly upwards from the ground at a velocity of 9ms. Recalling that the acceleration due to gravity is −gm

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Object is thrown with a velocity of $u=9\ m/s$

Acceleration due to gravity is -g (i.e. acting downward)

Vertical distance traveled by object is given by

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

at maximum height final velocity is zero

$0-(9)^2=2\times (-g)\times (s)$

$s=\frac{81}{2g}=\frac{40.5}{g}\ m$

time taken to reach maximum height

using

v=u+at

0=9-gt

$t=\frac{9}{g}\ s$

What is the energy in joules of a mole of photons associated with visible light of wavelength 486 nm?

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

$2.46\cdot 10^5 J$

Explanation:

The energy of a single photon is given by:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the photon in this problem,

$\lambda=486 nm=4.86\cdot 10^{-7}m$

So, its energy is

$E_1=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{4.86\cdot 10^{-7}m}=4.09\cdot 10^{-19} J$

One mole of photons contains a number of photons equal to Avogadro number:

$N_A = 6.022\cdot 10^{23}$

So, the total energy of one mole of photons is

$E=N_A E_1 = (6.022\cdot 10^{23})(4.09\cdot 10^{-19} J)=2.46\cdot 10^5 J$

Why do astronauts' weights differ in space?

OLga [1]

Answer:

There is less gravitational force in space.

Explanation:

Gravity doesn't exist as it does on Earth. Earth's gravity is as 6 times stronger as it is on the moon.
