Answer:

<h2>35</h2>

Explanation:

According to snell's law which states that the ratio of the sin of incidence (i) to the angle of refraction(n) is a constant for a given pair of media.

sini/sinr = n

n is the constant = refractive index

Since the diver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat, the refractive index n = nw/ng

nw is the refractive index of water and ng is that of glass

sini/sinr = nw/ng

given i = 30°, nw = 1.33, ng = 1.5, r = angle the light leave the glass

On substitution;

sin 30/sinr = 1.33/1.5

1.5sin30 = 1.33sinr

sinr = 1.5sin30/1.33

sinr = 0.75/1.33

sinr = 0.5639

r = arcsin0.5639

r ≈35°

angle the light leave the glass is 35°

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 <em>Planck constant</em> 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 <em>speed of light</em>.

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}

A light bulb has a voltage of 36 and a current of 8 A. Calculate the resistance of the light bulb
timurjin [86]
R = U : I. U is in Voltage and I is in Ampère. That gives you R = 36 : 8 = 4,5 Ohm

A 7300 N elevator is to be given an acceleration of 0.150g by connecting it to a cable of negligible weight wrapped around a tur
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

α =18.75  rad/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Acceleration a = 0.15 g

We know that   g =10 m/s²

a= 0.15 x 10 = 1.5  m/s²

d= 16 cm

Radius r= 8 cm

Lets take angular acceleration =α rad/s²

As we know that

a= α r

Now by putting the values

1.5 = α  x 0.08

α =18.75  rad/s²
