The definition of incidence is In geometric optics, the angle of incidence is the angle between a ray incident on a surface and the line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence, called the normal.

In the visible spectra of stars, absorption lines of hydrogen are produced when atoms are excited from n = 2 to higher levels (t

grigory [225]

Answer:

3. relatively high temperature, about 10,000 K, so that significant numbers of electrons are excited from the ground state, n = 1, to the first excited state, n = 2, but not too many of them have been ejected completely from the atoms

Explanation:

If hydrogen absorption lines are very strong in the visible spectrum of a particular star that means the population of electron in n = 2 is very high so on being exited they absorb radiation in Balmer series and give rise to absorption spectrum. The average temperature required to excite electron in hydrogen atom from n=1 to n = 2 is 10000K .

When the flashlight is in the air and the refracted ray enters the water, how does the angle of refraction compare with the angl

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The refracted angle will be less than the angle of incidence and the speed of light is slower in the new medium (which is water) and is closer to the normal.

Try remembering this by using FST SFA (Fast Sofa)

Fast -> Slow = Towards the normal

Slow -> Fast = Away from normal

Two loudspeakers are placed on a wall 2 m apart. A listener stands directly in front of one of the speakers, 81.7 m from the wal

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The phase difference is $\Delta \phi = 1.9995 rad$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between the loudspeakers is $d = 2m$

The distance of the listener from the wall $D = 81.7 \ m$

The frequency of the loudspeakers is $f = 4450Hz$

The velocity of sound is $v_s = 343 m/s$

The path difference of the sound wave that is getting to the listener is mathematically represented as

$\Delta z =\sqrt{d^2 + D^2} -D$

Substituting values

$\Delta z =\sqrt{2^2 + 81.7^2 } -81.7$

$\Delta z =0.0245m$

The phase difference is mathematically represented as

$\Delta \phi$ = $\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda } * \Delta z$

Where $\lambda$ is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as

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

substituting value

$\lambda = \frac{343 }{4450}$

$\lambda = 0.0770 m$

Substituting value into the equation for phase difference

$\Delta \phi$ = $\frac{2 * 3.142 * 0.0245}{0.0770}$

$\Delta \phi = 1.9995 rad$

A football kicked in front of a goal post at an angle of 45 degree to the ground just clear the top by of the post 3m high. Calc

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

A. 10.84 m/s

B. 1.56 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle of projection (θ) = 45°

Maximum height (H) = 3 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity of projection (u) =?

Time (T) taken to hit the ground again =?

A. Determination of the velocity of projection.

Angle of projection (θ) = 45°

Maximum height (H) = 3 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity of projection (u) =?

H = u²Sine²θ / 2g

3 = u²(Sine 45)² / 2 × 9.8

3 = u²(0.7071)² / 19.6

Cross multiply

3 × 19.6 = u²(0.7071)²

58.8 = u²(0.7071)²

Divide both side by (0.7071)²

u² = 58.8 / (0.7071)²

u² = 117.60

Take the square root of both side

u = √117.60

u = 10.84 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of projection is 10.84 m/s.

B. Determination of the time taken to hit the ground again.

Angle of projection (θ) = 45°

Velocity of projection (u) = 10.84 m/s

Time (T) taken to hit the ground again =?

T = 2uSine θ /g

T = 2 × 10.84 × Sine 45 / 9.8

T = 21.68 × 0.7071 / 9.8

T = 1.56 s

Therefore, the time taken to hit the ground again is 1.56 s.
