Answer: Refraction of light is the bending of light when it passes from rarer(less dense) medium to a denser medium or vice versa.

Explanation: The bending of light happens as light travels at different speed in different medium for example light travels slower in water than compared to air as water is denser than air. That is why when you put a pen in a glass cup you will notice that the pen is slightly shifted (the part of the pen above water is travelling at a different speed than the part of the pen underwater).

Hope this you understand it

An aluminum bar 600mm long, with diameter 40mm long has a hole drilled in the center of the bar.The hole is 30mm in diameter and

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Total contraction on the Bar = 1.22786 mm

Explanation:

Given that:

Total Length for aluminum bar = 600 mm

Diameter for aluminum bar = 40 mm

Hole diameter = 30 mm

Hole length = 100 mm

elasticity for the aluminum is 85GN/m² = 85 × 10³ N/mm²

compressive load P = 180 KN = 180 × 10³ N

Calculate the total contraction on the bar = ???

The relation used in calculating the contraction on the bar is:

$\delta L = \dfrac{P *L }{A*E}$

The relation used in calculating the total contraction on the bar can be expressed as :

Total contraction in the Bar = (contraction in part of bar without hole + contraction in part of bar with hole)

i.e

Total contraction on the Bar = $\dfrac{P *L_1 }{A_1*E} + \dfrac{P *L_2 }{A_2 *E}$

Let's find the area of cross section without the hole and with the hole

Area of cross section without the hole is :

Using A = πd²/4

A = π (40)²/4

A = 1256.64 mm²

Area of cross section with the hole is :

A = π (40²-30²)/4

A = 549.78 mm²

Total contraction on the Bar = $\dfrac{P *L_1 }{A_1*E} + \dfrac{P *L_2 }{A_2 *E}$

Total contraction on the Bar = $\dfrac{180 *10^3 \N }{85*10^3 \ N/mm^2} [\dfrac{500}{1256.64}+ \dfrac{100}{549.78}]$

Total contraction on the Bar = 2.117( 0.398 + 0.182)

Total contraction on the Bar = 2.117*(0.58)

Total contraction on the Bar = 1.22786 mm

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Δh_air=714m

Explanation:

Given data

$P_{1}=753mmHg\\P_{2}=690mmHg\\ p_{air}=1.2kg/m^{3}\\ g=9.8m/s^{2}$

Solution

ΔP=P₁-P₂

=(ΔhHg)×pHg×g

=(Δh_air)× p_air ×g

Then

Δh_air=(pHg+ΔhHg)÷p_air

$=\frac{13600*(753-690)*10^{-3} }{1.2}\\ =714m$

Δh_air=714m

Calculate the average linear momentum of a particle described by the following wavefunctions: (a) eikx, (b) cos kx, (c) e−ax2 ,

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) p=0, b) p=0, c) p= ∞

Explanation:

In quantum mechanics the moment operator is given by

p = - i h’ d φ / dx

h’= h / 2π

We apply this equation to the given wave functions

a) φ = $e^{ikx}$

.d φ dx = i k $e^{ikx}$

We replace

p = h’ k $e^{ikx}$

i i = -1

The exponential is a sine and cosine function, so its measured value is zero, so the average moment is zero

p = 0

b) φ = cos kx

p = h’ k sen kx

The average sine function is zero,

p = 0

c) φ = $e^{-ax^{2} }$

d φ / dx = -a 2x $e^{-ax^{2} }$

.p = i a g ’2x $e^{-ax^{2} }$

The average moment is

p = (p₂ + p₁) / 2

p = i a h ’(-∞ + ∞)

p = ∞
