A light beam is traveling inside a glass block that has an index of refraction of 1.46. As this light arrives at the surface of

the block, it makes an angle of 53 degrees with the normal. At what angle with the normal in the air will it leave the block?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Snell's Law. For this case we know that the internal reflection would be subject to the attempt of the ray of light to pass from a high refractive index to a lower one, therefore, mathematically we have to,

$n_1 sin\theta_1 =n_2sin\theta_2$

$n_{1,2}$ = Refractive Index

$\theta_1$ = Incident angel

$\theta_2$ = Refractive angel

Replacing with our values and solving to find \theta_2

$\theta_2 = sin^{-1}(\frac{n_2}{n_1}*sin\theta_1)$

Replacing our values we have that,

$\theta_2 = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.46}{1}*sin(53))$

$\theta_2 = sin^{-1}(1.166)$

Because the angle of refraction is greater than one, there is no possible solution for the ArcSin of the value. This only indicates that the light beam cannot leave the block.

A charge Q is uniformly spread over one surface of a very large nonconducting square elastic sheet having sides of length d. At

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Charge Q is uniformly spread over large non-conducting Elastic sheet

Electric field due to non-conducting Elastic sheet

$E=\frac{\sigma }{2\epsilon }$

where $\sigma =$ surface charge density $=\frac{q}{d^2}$

$E=\frac{\frac{q}{d^2}}{2\epsilon }$

for side 2d Electric Field is given by

$E'=\frac{\frac{q}{2d^2}}{2\epsilon }$

$E'=\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{\frac{q}{d^2}}{2\epsilon }$

$E'=\frac{E}{4}$

Where on this diagram does the ball have the highest point of gravitational potential energy?

mixer [17]

It should be at the very top since it has more space to fall which gives it more potential energy

A 55-kg block, starting from rest, is pushed a distance of 5.0 m across a floor by a horizontal force Fp whose magnitude is 140

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The answer is "151.25 J and -547.64 J".

Explanation:

$u = 0\\\\v = 2.35\ \frac{m}{sec}\\\\d = 5.0 \ m\\\\$

Using formula:

$v^2 = u^2 + 2 \times a \times d\\\\2.35^2 = 0^2 + 2 \times a \times 5\\\\a = \frac{2.35^2}{10} \\\\$

$= 0.55 \ \frac{m}{sec^2}\\\\$

$F_{net} = m \times a\\\\F_{net} = 55 \times 0.55 = 30.25\ N\\\\$

Calculating the Work by net force

$W = F_{net}\times d\\\\W = 30.25 \times 5 = 151.25 \ J\\\\$

The above work is converted into thermal energy.

Now,

$F_{net} = F_p - F_f\\\\F_p = 140 \ N\\\\F_f = u_k\times m \times g = u_k \times 55 \times 9.81\\\\F_f = 539.55 \times u_k\\\\30.25 = 140 - u_k \times 55 \times 9.81\\\\u_k = \frac{(140 - 30.25)}{(55\times 9.81)}\\\\uk = 0.203 = \text{Coefficient of friction}\\\\W_f = -F_f \times d\\\\W_f = -0.203 \times 55 \times 9.81 \times 5\\\\Work\ done\ by\ friction = -547.64 \ J$

If a specimen was being viewed using a 20x objective lens and 10x ocular lens, what would be the total magnification

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

As Per Given Information

20x objective lens was used by specimen

10x ocular lens was also used by him.

we have to find the total magnification.

For calculating the total magnification we 'll simply do multiplication

Total Magnification = 20x × 10x

Total Magnification = 200x

So , the total magnification will be 200x .

A triangular plate with a non-uniform areal density has a mass M=0.500 kg. It is suspended by a pivot at P and can oscillate as

malfutka [58]

The period of the oscillations.T = 1.2042s

Opposition is the process of any quantity or measure fluctuating repeatedly about its equilibrium value throughout time. This process is referred to as oscillation. Oscillation, a periodic fluctuation of a substance, can also be described as alternating between two values or rotating around a central value.

Typically, the mathematical formula for the moment of inertia is

T = 2 π √(I / mgd)

Therefore, a moment of inertia

I = 9.00×10-3 + md^2 ;

I=9.00*10^{-3}+ 0.5 * 0.3^2

I=0.054

T=2 $\pi \sqrt{0.5*9.8*0.3}$

T=1.2042s
