Experiment to show that light travels in a straight line

1 answer:

6 0

The answer here
Two experiments are used to demonstrate how light travels in straight lines. In the first example, the presenter arranges three pieces of card, with holes in, in an uneven line. The light stops and cannot travel through all three cards. When she arranges the holes in a straight line, the light can travel through.

where σ(t) and σ(0) represents the time-dependent and initial (i.e., time =0) stresses, respectively, and t and τ denote elapsed

lesya [120]

Answer:

$E_r(6)=4.35614\ MPa$

Explanation:

$\epsilon$ = Strain = 0.49

$\sigma _0$ = 3.1 MPa

At t = Time = 32 s $\sigma$ = 0.41 MPa

$\tau$ = Time-independent constant

Stress relation with time

$\sigma=\sigma _0exp\left(-\frac{t}{\tau}\right)$

at t = 32 s

$0.41=3.1exp\left(-\frac{32}{\tau}\right)\\\Rightarrow exp\left(-\frac{32}{\tau}\right)=\frac{0.41}{3}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{32}{\tau}=ln\frac{0.41}{3}\\\Rightarrow \tau=-\frac{32}{ln\frac{0.41}{3}}\\\Rightarrow \tau=16.0787\ s$

The time independent constant is 16.0787 s

$E_{r}(t)=\frac{\sigma(t)}{\epsilon_0}$

At t = 6

$\\\Rightarrow E_{r}(6)=\frac{\sigma(6)}{\epsilon_0}$

From the first equation

$\sigma(t)=\sigma _0exp\left(-\frac{t}{\tau}\right)\\\Rightarrow \sigma(6)=3.1exp\left(-\frac{6}{16.0787}\right)\\\Rightarrow \sigma(6)=2.13451$

$E_r(6)=\frac{2.13451}{0.49}\\\Rightarrow E_r(6)=4.35614\ MPa$

$E_r(6)=4.35614\ MPa$

What are gamma rays and what are its uses??<br>

sukhopar [10]

"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves. They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays. They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.

Being so short, they carry lots of energy. They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA. They're dangerous.

The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation. The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.

As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.

You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays. The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.

It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up. Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.
