Answer:
La velocidad de la luz en el vacío es una constante universal con el valor de 299 792 458 m/s (186 282,397 mi/s),aunque suele aproximarse a 3·108 m/s. Se simboliza con la letra c, proveniente del latín celéritās (en español, celeridad o rapidez).
¿Cuál es la consecuencia que a velocidad de la luz sea constante?
Respuesta. En modificaciones del vacío más sutiles, como espacios curvos, efecto Casimir, poblaciones térmicas o presencia de campos externos, la velocidad de la luz depende de la densidad de energía de ese vacío.
Dispersion angle = 0.3875 degrees.
Width at bottom of block = 0.09297 cm
Thickness of rainbow = 0.07038 cm
Snell's law provides the formula that describes the refraction of light. It is:
n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
where
n1, n2 = indexes of refraction for the different mediums
θ1, θ2 = angle of incident rays as measured from the normal to the surface.
Solving for θ2, we get
n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
n1*sin(θ1)/n2 = sin(θ2)
asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
The index of refraction for air is 1.00029, So let's first calculate the angles of the red and violet rays.
Red:
asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.641) = θ2
asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.641) = θ2
asin(0.398299876) = θ2
23.47193844 = θ2
Violet:
asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.667) = θ2
asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.667) = θ2
asin(0.39208764) = θ2
23.08446098 = θ2
So the dispersion angle is:
23.47193844 - 23.08446098 = 0.38747746 degrees.
Now to determine the width of the beam at the bottom of the glass block, we need to calculate the difference in the length of the opposite side of two right triangles. Both triangles will have a height of 11.6 cm and one of them will have an angle of 23.47193844 degrees, while the other will have an angle of 23.08446098 degrees. The idea trig function to use will be tangent, where
tan(θ) = X/11.6
11.6*tan(θ) = X
So for Red:
11.6*tan(θ) = X
11.6*tan(23.47193844) = X
11.6*0.434230136 = X
5.037069579 = X
And violet:
11.6*tan(θ) = X
11.6*tan(23.08446098) = X
11.6*0.426215635 = X
4.944101361 = X
So the width as measured from the bottom of the block is: 5.037069579 cm - 4.944101361 cm = 0.092968218 cm
The actual width of the beam after it exits the flint glass block will be thinner. The beam will exit at an angle of 40.80 degrees and we need to calculate the length of the sides of a 40.80/49.20/90 right triangle. If you draw the beams, you'll realize that:
cos(θ) = X/0.092968218
0.092968218*cos(θ) = X
0.092968218*cos(40.80) = X
0.092968218*0.756995056 = X
0.070376481 = X
So the distance between the red and violet rays is 0.07038 cm.
Answer:
The speed of the ambulance is 4.30 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
Frequency of the ambulance, f = 1790 Hz
Frequency at the cyclist, f' = 1780 Hz
Speed of the cyclist, v₀ = 2.36 m/s
let the velocity of the ambulance be 'vₓ'
Now,
the Doppler effect is given as:
where, v is the speed of sound
since the ambulance is moving towards the cyclist. thus, the sign will be positive
thus,
on substituting the values, we get
or
vₓ = 4.30 m/s
Hence, <u>the speed of the ambulance is 4.30 m/s</u>
Gravity is a pair of forces of attraction between every
two objects. Period !
It doesn't matter whether they're moving together, moving apart,
moving gracefully in synchrony, or at rest. The gravitational forces
of attraction between them are always there.
Answer:
Explanation:
Distance travelled by wave = 8 x 2 = 16 m
Time taken = 4 s
velocity of pulse wave = distance / time
= 16 m / 4 s
= 4 m/s
