Answer: T_1 = 77.2 \text N \newline T_2= 91.87 \text N

Assuming the figure as attached.

The sum of Horizontal components of the Tension in the rope is zero or equal as they balance out each other.T_1 sin40 \textdegree = T_2 sin50 \textdegree \newline T_1 = 1.19 T_2

The sum of vertical components of the tension is equal to the weight of the block.T_1 cos 40 \textdegree +T_2cos50 \textdegree = 120 \text N \newline 1.19T_2(0.766 )+T_2 0.64 = 120 \text N T_2 = 77.2 \text N T_1 = 1.19 T2 = 1.19 \times 77.2 \text N = 91.87 \text N

The weight should be shared between the two string equally. Therefore, tension in each string, T is;

T = 120 N/2 = 60 N

A certain kind of glass has an index of refraction of 1.640 for blue light of wavelength 440 nm and an index of 1.595 for red li
seraphim [82]

Answer: 18.27°

Explanation:

Given

Index of refraction of blue light, n(b) = 1.64

Wavelength of blue light, λ(b) = 440 nm

Index of refraction of red light, n(r) = 1.595

Wavelength of red light, λ(r) = 670 nm

Angle of incident, θ = 30°

Angle of refraction of red light is

θ(r) = sin^-1 [(n(a)* sin θ) / n(r)], where n(a) = index of refraction of air = 1

So that,

θ(r) = sin^-1 [(1 * sin 30) / 1.595]

θ(r) = sin^-1 (0.5 / 1.595)

θ(r) = sin^-1 0.3135

θ(r) = 18.27°

A negative charge of -2.5 C and a positive charge of 2.0 C are separated by 100 m. What is the force between the two charges?
Annette [7]

Explanation:

F = k |q1| |q2| / r^2

k = 9 * 10^9

q1 = - 2.5 C

q2 = 2 C

r = 100

r^2 = (10^2)^2 = 10^4

F = (9*10^9) * ( 2.5 ) ( 2) / ( 100)^2

F = 45* 10^9 / 10^4

F = 45 * 10^9 * 10 ^ -4 = 45 * 10^5 N

F = 45 * 10 ^ 5 N

Why did scientists using classical, Newtonian physics have difficulty explaining the photoelectric effect?
Ganezh [65]
Classical physics considered light to behave as a wave in all environments; it had a set amplitude, frequency etc. The problem was that this meant that there was a continuous variation in its properties, hence if the amplitude of the light was incresed by a bit, a phenomenon like the phhotoelectric one would become only marginally more apparent. However, in this case, there is a cutoff point which means that the only-wave theory had to be wrong.
