A ray of light of vacuum wavelength 550 nm traveling in air enters a slab of transparent material. The incoming ray makes an ang

le of 40.0° with the normal, and the refracted ray makes an angle of 26.0° with the normal. Find the index of refraction of the transparent material. (Assume that the index of refraction of air for light of wavelength 550 nm is 1.00.)​

Answer:

sin 40 = n sin 26    snell's law for incoming ray in air

n = sin 40 / sin 26 = 1.47

When temperature decreases but actual water vapor content remains the same, what happens to relative humidity?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

d. Relative humidity increases.

Explanation:

The expression of relative humidity in terms of absolute humidity, absolute pressure and saturation pression at measured temperature is:

\phi = \frac{\omega \cdot P}{(0.622+\omega)\cdot P_{sat}}

When temperature decreases, the saturation pressure decreases also and, consequently, relative humidity increases. Therefore, the right answer is option D.

Two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide. What kind of
erica [24]

When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.

If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.

9. A 50 kg physics i student trudges from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor, going up a total height of 13 m.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

6370 J

Explanation:

By the law of energy conservation, the work done by the student would be the change in potential enegy from 1st floor to 3rd floor, or a change of 13 m

W = E_p = mgh

where m = 50kg is the mass of the student, g = 9.8 m/s2 is the gravitational constant and h = 13 m is the height difference

W = 50*9.8*13 = 6370 J
