Answer:

(1) it is transparent so it makes the reading difficult. (2) it is volatile. (3) it is a poor conductor of heat. (4) it has a higher specific heat capacity, so it absorbs more heat from the body with which it is kept in contact. (5) Water cannot be used in thermometer because of its higher freezing point and lower boiling point than other liquids . If water is used in a thermometer , it will start phase change at 0oC and 100oC and will not measure temperature , out of this range .

Answer:

(a). The critical angle for the liquid when surrounded by air is 44.37°

(b). The angle of refraction is 26.17°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Incidence angle = 26.7°

Refraction angle = 18.3°

(a). We need to calculate the refraction of liquid

Using Snell's law

$n=\dfrac{\sin i}{\sin r}$

Put the value into the formula

$n=\dfrac{\sin 26.7}{\sin 18.3}$

$n=1.43$

We need to critical angle for the liquid when surrounded by air

Using formula of critical angle

$C=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1}{n})$

Put the value into the formula

$C=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1}{1.43})$

$C=44.37^{\circ}$

(b). Given that,

Incidence angle = 37.5°

Speed of light in mineral $v=2.17\times10^{8}\ m/s$

We need to calculate the index of refraction

Using formula of index of refraction

$n=\dfrac{c}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$n=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{2.17\times10^{8}}$

$n=1.38$

We need to calculate the angle of refraction

Using Snell's law

$n=\dfrac{\sin i}{\sin r}$

$\sin r=\dfrac{\sin i}{n}$

Put the value into the formula

$\sin r=\dfrac{\sin 37.5}{1.38}$

$r=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\sin 37.5}{1.38})$

$r=26.17^{\circ}$

Hence, (a). The critical angle for the liquid when surrounded by air is 44.37°

(b). The angle of refraction is 26.17°.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

positive plate

E = 5.764 KV / m

W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

E_k = 490 eV

Explanation:

part a

The potential difference between two plates = 490 V

Distance between two plates = 8.5 cm

Answer: The positive plate is at higher potential because of convention.

part b

Electric Field between the plates

E = V / d

E = 490 / 0.085 = 5.764 KV / m

Answer: Electric Field between the plates E = 5.764 KV / m

part c

Work done by electric field

W = V*q

W = 490 * 1.602*10^-19

W = 7.85 * 10^-17 J

or W = 490 eV

Answer: Work done by electric field W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

part d

Potential Energy of an electron gained:

E_p = m_e * g * d / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p = 9.109*10^-31* 9.81 * 0.085 / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

Very very small E_p approximately 0

Answer: Potential Energy of an electron gained E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV or 0.

part e

Kinetic Energy of an electron gained:

W - E_p = E_k

E_k = 490eV - 4.74*10^(-12)eV

E_k = 490 eV

Answer: Kinetic Energy of an electron gained E_k = 490 eV
