The study of EM is essential to understanding the properties of light, its propagation through tissue, scattering and absorption effects, and changes in the state of polarization. ... Since light travels much faster than sound, detection of the reflected EM radiation is performed with interferometry.

wariber [46]

Answer:

n=2.053

Explanation:

We will use Snell's Law defined as:

n_{1}*Sin\theta_{1}=n_{2}*Sin\theta_{2}

Where n values are indexes of refraction and \theta values are the angles in each medium. For vacuum, the index of refraction in n=1. With this we have enough information to state:

1*Sin(39.9)=n_{2}*Sin(18.2)

Solving for n_{2} yields:

n_{2}=\frac{Sin(39.9)}{Sin(18.2)}=2.053

Remember to use degrees for trigonometric functions instead of radians!

Answer:

The acceleration would be  a = 0.003* 6 =0.018\  m/s^2    

Explanation:

The objective of this solution is to obtain the acceleration of the particle

       Now looking at Newton law which is mathematically represented as

                       F = ma

  Where F is the force experience by a particle

              m is the mass of the particle

              a is the acceleration of the particle

  And also this force is equivalent to magnetic force in a magnetic field which is mathematically represented as

                    F = qvB

Where q is the charge of the particle

             v is the velocity of the  charge

             B is the magnetic field the charge is under it influence

  Now equating this two formulas

                   ma = qvB

 Making a the subject we have

                  a = \frac{qvB}{m}

In the question the direction of the is in the positive x-axis which is i hence the direction would be in the i direction

      So substituting  (2.0i +3.0j+4.0k)mT = (2.0i +3.0j+4.0k)*10^{-3}T for B

                    a = \frac{q}{m} * v (2.0i +3.0j +4.0k)*10^{-3}

      Substituting       3.0 Km /s = 3.0*10^{3}\ m/s  for v  and -6.0 \muC = -6.0*10^{-6} C for q

                     a = \frac{-6.0*10^{-6}}{2.0*10^{-3}} * 3.0*10^{3} *(2i+3j+4k) *10^{-3}

                       a = 0.003 * 3i(2i+3j+4k)

                      a = 0.003 *((3*2)i \ \cdot i \ +(3*3) i \ \cdot \ j  \ + (3*4)i \ \cdot \ k)

According to vector multiplication

                                             i \cdot i = j \cdot j = k\cdot k = 1\\\\and \ i\cdot j = i\cdot k  = 0

     So

               a = 0.003* 6 =0.018\  m/s^2

expeople1 [14]

Answer: 3MW

Explanation:

W = 1/2 mv^2

W = 0.5 x 1200 x 25^2 = 375 kW

T = 8s

P= 335 x 10^3 x 8 = 3,000 kW = 3MW
