In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 570 travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 16.5 . When a slab of g

aliina [53]

Answer:

Wavelength is calculated as 213.9 nm

Solution:

As per the question:

Wavelength of light = 570 nm

Time, t = 16.5 ns

Thickness of glass slab, d = 0.865 ns

Time taken to travel from laser to the photocell, t' = 21.3

Speed of light in vacuum, c = $3\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Now,

To calculate the wavelength of light inside the glass:

After the insertion of the glass slab into the beam, the extra time taken by light to cover a thickness t = 0.865 m is:

t' - t = 21.3 - 16.5 = 4.8 ns

Thus

$\frac{d}{\frac{c}{n}} - \frac{d}{v} = 4.8\times 10^{- 9}$

$\frac{0.8656}{\frac{c}{n}} - \frac{0.865}{v} = 4.8\times 10^{- 9}$

where

n = refractive index of the medium

v = speed of light in medium

$\frac{0.8656}{\frac{c}{n}} - \frac{0.865}{v} = 4.8\times 10^{- 9}$

$n = \frac{4.8\times 10^{- 9}\times 3.00\times 10^{8}}{0.865} + 1$

n = 2.66

Now,

The wavelength in the glass:

$\lambda' = \frac{\lambda }{n}$

$\lambda' = \frac{570}{2.66} = 213.9\ nm$

Write down the effect of humidity and temperature on the speed of sound.

finlep [7]

Answer:

The speed of sound is affected by temperature and humidity. Because it is less dense, sound passes through hot air faster than it passes through cold air. ... The attenuation of sound in air is affected by the relative humidity. Dry air absorbs far more acoustical energy than does moist air.
