What happens to the ray of light when it travels from glass to water?

1 answer:

vodomira [7]2 years ago

Glass and water are thicker and heavier than air. They are said to be 'denser' than air. What happens is that light slows down when it passes from the less dense air into the denser glass or water. This slowing down of the ray of light also causes the ray of light to change direction.

What did Thomson contribute to the model of atom

Ganezh [65]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>Electrons </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Thomson contributed to the model of an atom by discovery of </u></em><em><u>electrons </u></em><em><u>and thus proving the existence of sub-atomic particles in an atom. </u></em>
<u><em>Thomson used cathode ray tube, and demonstrated that cathode rays were negatively charged.</em></u> According to his model normally known as the plum pudding in which he stated that an atom is composed of electrons as subatomic particles that are surrounded by positive charges to balance the electrons.

Two parallel wires separated by a distance of 0.6 m each carry current in the same direction. One wire is carrying a current of

mart [117]

Answer:

The value is $B = 3.33 *10^{-6} \ T$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of separation is $d = 0.6 \ m$

The current on the one wire is $I_1 = 9 \ A$

The current on the second wire is $I_2 = 4 \ A$

Generally the magnitude of the field exerted between the current carrying wire is

$B = B_1 - B_2$

Here $B_1$ is the magnetic field due to the first wire which is mathematically represented as

$B_1 = \frac{\mu_o * I_1 }{2 \pi * d_1}$

Here $d_1$ is the distance to the half way point of the separation and the value is

$d_1 = 0.3 \ m$

$B_2$ is the magnetic field due to the first wire which is mathematically represented as

$B_2 = \frac{\mu_o * I_2 }{2 \pi * d_2}$

Here $d_2$ is the distance to the half way point of the separation and the value is

$d_2 = 0.3 \ m$

This means that $d_1 = d_2 = a = 0.3$

So

$B = \frac{\mu_o * I_1 }{2 \pi * d_1} - \frac{\mu_o * I_2 }{2 \pi * d_2}$

=> $B = \frac{\mu_o * (I_1 - I_2)}{2 \pi *0.3 }$

=> $B = \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * (9- 4)}{2 * 3.142 *0.3 }$

=> $B = 3.33 *10^{-6} \ T$

Suppose a plot of inverse wavelength vs frequency has slope equal to 0.119, what is the speed of sound traveling in the tube to

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

8.40 m/s

Explanation:

Slope of the plot is 0.119

Slope of a plot is given by the change in y direction divided by the change in x direction

Here, the y axis represents inverse wavelength and the x axis represents frequency.

f = Frequency (Hz, assumed)

v = Phase velocity (m/s, assumed)

λ = Wavelength (m, assumed)

So, slope

$m=\frac{\frac{1}{\lambda}}{f}$

Now,

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda^{-1}=\frac{f}{v}$

$\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{\frac{f}{v}}{f}\\\Rightarrow 0.119=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{0.119}\\\Rightarrow v=8.40\ m/s$

The speed of sound travelling in the tube is 8.40 m/s
