Clarify the concept of refrection index with example

1 answer:

3 0

The refractive index is used to measure how much light bends as it goes from one medium to another the refractive index of air =1 as light doesn’t bend in it

When looking into a glass of water with a straw the straw may appear bent or morphed as the water has a different refractive index to air (and the light is passing from air to glass of water)

Unless indicated otherwise, assume the speed of sound in air to be v = 344 m/s. A pipe closed at both ends can have standing wav

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

68.8 Hz

137.6 Hz, 206.4 Hz

Explanation:

L = Length of tube = 2.5 m

v = Velocity of sound in air = 344 m/s

Distance between nodes is given by

$L=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}+m\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\lambda(n+1)}{2}=L\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{2L}{n+1}$

Where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

Making n+1 = n

$\lambda=\dfrac{2L}{n}$

where n = 1, 2, 3 .....

For fundamental frequency n = 1

$\lambda=\dfrac{2\times 2.5}{1}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=5\ m$

Frequency is given by

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{344}{5}\\\Rightarrow f=68.8\ Hz$

The fundamental frequency is 68.8 Hz

First overtone

$2f=2\times 68.8=137.6\ Hz$

Second overtone

$3f=3\times 68.8=206.4\ Hz$

The overtones are 137.6 Hz, 206.4 Hz

A car initially at rest accelerates at 10m/s^2. The car’s speed after it has traveled 25 meters is most nearly... A.) 0.0m/s B.)

STALIN [3.7K]

The car traverses a distance $x$ after time $t$ according to

$x=\dfrac12at^2$

where $a$ is its acceleration, 10 m/s^2. The time it takes for the car to travel 25 m is

$25\,\mathrm m=\left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\implies t=\sqrt 5\,\mathrm s$

5 is pretty close to 4, so we can approximate the square root of 5 by 2. Then the car's velocity $v$ after 2 s of travel is given by

$v=\left(10\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2\,\mathrm s)\approx20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

which makes C the most likely answer.

The moment of inertia is $24.8 kg m^2$

Explanation:

The total moment of inertia of the system is the sum of the moment of inertia of the rod + the moment of inertia of the two balls.

The moment of inertia of the rod about its centre is given by

$I_r = \frac{1}{12}ML^2$

where

M = 24 kg is the mass of the rod

L = 0.96 m is the length of the rod

Substituting,

$I_r = \frac{1}{12}(24)(0.96)^2=1.84 kg m^2$

The moment of inertia of one ball is given by

$I_b = mr^2$

where

m = 50 kg is the mass of the ball

$r=\frac{L}{2}=\frac{0.96}{2}=0.48 m$ is the distance of each ball from the axis of rotation

So we have

$I_b = (50)(0.48)^2=11.5 kg m^2$

Therefore, the total moment of inertia of the system is

$I=I_r + 2I_b = 1.84+ 2(11.5)=24.8 kg m^2$
