A light beam is incident on a piece of fluorite (n = 1.434) at the Brewster's angle.

1 answer:

5 0

The Brewster angle is the angle can be found through this equation
θ=arctan(n2/n1).
This came from Snell's Law:
n1sinθ=n2sin(90-θ)
=n2cosθ
n2/n1=tanθ --- θ=arctan(n2/n1)=arctan(1.434)=55.11 degrees

Next, the angle of refraction can be found by using Snell's Law
n1sinθ=n2sinθ'
sin(55.11)=1.434sinθ'
sinθ'=sin(55.11)/1.434=0.572 --- θ'=arcsin(0.572)=34.89 degrees

How does the molecular structure of a water molecule affect its polarity?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The polarity of water molecules means that molecules of water will stick to each other like when unlike charges attracts. This is called hydrogen bonding.

Polarity makes water a good solvent, gives it the ability to stick to itself (cohesion), stick to other substances (adhesion), and have surface tension (due to hydrogen bonding).

When the two hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen, they attach to the top of the molecule. This molecular structure gives the water molecule polarity, or a lopsided electrical charge that attracts other atoms. The end of the molecule with the two hydrogen atoms is positively charged.

Recall from Chapter 1 that a watt is a unit of en- ergy per unit time, and one watt (W) is equal to one joule per second ( J·s–1

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the equation $E_p=h f$ , where h is the Planck constant and f the frequency of the photon. Thus, N photons of frequency f will give an energy of $E_N=N h f$ .

We also know that frequency and wavelength are related by $f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ , so we have $E_N=\frac{N h c}{\lambda}$ , where c is the speed of light.

We will want the number of photons, so we can write

$N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}$

We need to know then how much energy do we have to calculate N. The equation of power is $P=E/t$ , so for the power we have and considering 1 second we can calculate the total energy, and then only consider the 4% of it which will produce light, or better said, the N photons, which means it will be $E_N$ .

Putting this paragraph in equations:

$E_N=(\frac{4}{100})E=0.04Pt=(0.04)(100W)(1s)=4J$ .

And then we can substitute everything in our equation for number of photons, in S.I. and getting the values of constants from tables:

$N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}=\frac{(520 \times10^{-9}m) (4J)}{(6.626\times10^{-34}Js) (299792458m/s)}=1.047 \times10^{19}$

Two ball bearings of mass m each moving in opposite directins with equal speed v collide head on with each other.predict the out

posledela

Yo sup??

since the collision is elastic therefore we can say that the two balls will then move in opposite direction.

If ball 1 was moving from east to west then after collision it will move from west to east

and if ball 2 was moving from west to east then it will start moving from east to west.

Hope this helps.
