What happens when light waves travel from air through a denser medium

Physics
1 answer:
Hitman42 [59]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When a ray of light passes from a denser material into a less dense material it is bent towards the surface between the two materials. This means that in this situation the angle of refraction is always greater than the angle of incidence. ... They also apply to light passing through lenses

nordsb [41]

Answer:

u" + 40u' + 49u = 2 sin(t/6)        

upp + 40up + 49u = 2 sin(t/6)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

mass = 5 kg

L = 20 cm = 0.2 m

F = 10 sin(t/6)N

Fd(t) = - 6 N

u(0) = 0.03 m/s

u(0) = 0

u'(0) = 3 cm/s

Step 2:

ω =kL

k = ω/L = m*g /L = (5*9.8)/0.2 = 245 kg/s²

Since Fd(t) = -γu'(t)  we know:

γ =- Fd(t) / u'(t) = 6N/ 0.03 m/s = 200 Ns/m

The initial value problem which describes the motion of the mass is given by

5u" + 200u' + 245u = 10 sin(t/6)   u(0) = 0  ;  u'(0) = 0.03

This is equivalent to:

u" + 40u' + 49u = 2 sin(t/6)        u(0) = 0  ;  u'(0) = 0.03

upp + 40up + 49u = 2 sin(t/6)

With u in m and t in s

mamaluj [8]

Answer:4.93 m/s

Explanation:

Given

height to reach is (h )1.24 m

here Let initial velocity is u

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2ah

here Final Velocity v=0

a=acceleration due to gravity

0-u^2=2\left ( -g\right )h

u=\sqrt{2gh}

u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.24}

u=\sqrt{24.328}

u=4.93 m/s
