We will now determine the indexes of refraction for two Mystery materials, A and B. These materials can be selected from the lis

t of materials on the right. Be sure to set your laser pointer to a frequency of 589 nm. Questions:A. Devise an experiment for determining the indices of refraction for these. Explain your methodology. B. What are the indices of refraction for the two mystery materials, A and B?

Answer:

A) refraction experiment   n = n₁ sin θ₁ / sin θ₂

B)  n_A = 1.19 ,    n_B = 1.53

Explanation:

A) This exercise is a method to measure the refractive index of materials, a very useful and simple procedure is to create a plate of known thickness from each material, place the material on a paper with angle measurements (protractor), incline the laser beam and measure the angles of incidence and refraction (within the material), repeat for about three different angles of incidence and use the equation of refraction to determine the index

            n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂

            n₂ = n₁ sin θ₁₁ /sin θ₂

If the medium surrounding the plate is air, its refractive index is n₁ = 1, the final expression is

            n = n₁ sin θ₁ / sin θ₂

B) For this part, no data are given in the exercise, but we can take 50º as the angle of incidence and measure the angle of refraction. Suppose it is 40º for material A and 30º for material B, the refractive index would be

         

material A

             n_A = sin 50 / sin 40

             n_A = 1.19

material B

              n_B = sin 50 / sin30

              n_B = 1.53

Sarah weighs 500 newtons. She climbs a set of stairs 6 meters high. How much work does she do? 83 J Work equals force times dist
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

<em>Answer: Work equals force times distance. 3,000 J</em>

Explanation:

Work Done By A Force

When some force \vec F is applied and a displacement \vec r is achieved, the work done by the force is given by

W=\vec F \cdot \vec r

Note that the work is a scalar magnitude as the result of the dot-product of two vectors. If the force and the displacement are parallel, then the vectors can be replaced as its magnitudes F,x and the work is

W=F.x

The dot product becomes a simple arithmetic product, i.e force times distance.

Sara weighs 500 Nw and she climbs up a 6 meter set of stairs. She needs to lift her weight up, so the force is the weight and the distance is the height of the stairs, thus

W=500\ Nw.\ 6\ m=3,000\ Joule

Answer: Work equals force times distance. 3,000 J
