Answer:

η₁ = 2.6

Explanation:

Here, we will use snell's law to calculate the refractive of the substance:

$\frac{\eta_2}{\eta_1} = \frac{Sin\theta_1}{Sin\theta_2}$

where,

η₁ = refractive index of first substance = ?

η₂ = refractive index of second substance = 1.5

θ₁ = angle of incidence = 30°

θ₂ = angle of refraction = 60°

Therefore,

$\frac{1.5}{\eta_1} = \frac{Sin\ 30^0}{Sin\ 60^0}$

<u>η₁ = 2.6</u>

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.

e-lub [12.9K]

(a) $4.74\cdot 10^14 Hz$

The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is given by:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of the wave in a vacuum (speed of light)

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

In this problem, we have laser light with wavelength

$\lambda=632.8 nm=6.33\cdot 10^{-7} m$ . Substituting into the formula, we find its frequency:

$f=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s}{6.33\cdot 10^{-7} m}=4.74\cdot 10^14 Hz$

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0$ is the original wavelength in a vacuum (approximately equal to that in air)

$n$ is the index of refraction of the medium

In this problem, we have

$\lambda_0=632.8 nm$

n = 1.48 (index of refraction of glass)

Substituting into the formula,

$\lambda=\frac{632.8 nm}{1.48}=427.6 nm$

(c) $2.03\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The speed of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is

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

where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and n is the refractive index of the medium.

Since in this problem n=1.48, we find

$v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.03\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Elodia [21]

Let's see

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x=Asin(\omega t)\dots(1)$

Now we know the formula of acceleration

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \alpha=-A\omega^2sin(\omega t)$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \alpha=-Asin(\omega t)\times \omega^2$

From eq(1)

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \alpha=-x\omega^2$

Or

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \alpha=-\omega^2x$

tigry1 [53]

Answer: layoff

Explanation:

From the information in the question, we can see that Jane is trying to reduce the size of the workforce here through layoff.

Since Joan explains that the termination is temporary, then it's a layoff. If it were to be firing, the termination won't be temporary but permanent as they can't be recalled by the company. But since the employees are discharged temporarily, it's a layoff.

A 10.0-kg box is pulled by a horizontal wire in a circle on a rough horizontal surface for which the coefficient of kinetic fric

QveST [7]

Answer:

a) $W_{f}=307.87 J$

b) $W_{f}=615.752 J$

c) Therefore it is a nonconservative force

Explanation:

Distance traveled in one complete circular trip against friction

$d=2\pi *r$

The force of friction is

$F_{f}=u*F_{N}$

$F_{N}=w*g$

The work of friction is the force of friction in the distance so

$W_{f}=-F_{f}*d$

a).

$F_{N}=10kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}$

$F_{N}=98N$

$F_{f}=0.250*98N$

$F_{f}=24.5N$

$W_{f}=-24.5N*2\pi*2m$

$W_{f}=307.87 J$

b).

$W_{f}=-24.5N*2\pi*4m$

$W_{f}=615.752 J$

c).

Since the circle returns to its initial position in both cases and the work done by the friction force different in both cases, so the friction force does depend on the path;
