The law of reflection is quite useful for mirrors and other flat, shiny surfaces. (This sort of reflection is called specular reflection). However, you've likely been told that when you look at something, you are seeing light reflected from the object that you are looking at. This is reflection of a different sort of diffuse reflection.

Suppose that the spotlight shines so that different parts of the beam reflect off of different two surfaces, one inclined at an angle alpha (from the horizontal) and one inclined at an angle beta. What would the angular separation between the rays reflected from the two surfaces?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose initially the plane was horizontal and light was reflected back at some angle θ from the normal .

Now the reflecting surface is twisted so that is becomes inclined at angle alpha .

The reflected light will be deviated from its original direction by angle

2 x alpha .

Similarly when the reflecting surface is further twisted so that it becomes inclined at angle beta then again the reflected beam will deviated by angle

2 x beta

Hence angle between these two reflected beam

= 2 beta - 2 alpha

= 2 ( β - α )

So, angular separation between the rays reflected from the two surfaces

= 2 ( β - α ) .

A single slit is illuminated by light of wavelengths λa and λb, chosen so that the first diffraction minimum of the λa component coincides with the second minimum of the λb component. (a) If λb = 350 nm, what is λa? For what order number mb (if any) does a minimum of the λb component coincide with the minimum of the λa component in the order number

Answers

Answer:

λ_A = 700 nm ,   m_B = m_a 2

Explanation:

The expression that describes the diffraction phenomenon is

         a sin θ = m λ

where a is the width of the slit, lam the wavelength and m an integer that writes the order of diffraction

a) They tell us that now lal_ A m = 1

         a sin θ = λ_A

coincidentally_be m = 2

          a sin  θ = m λ_b

as the two match we can match

         λ _A = 2 λ _B

         λ_A = 2 350 nm

         λ_A = 700 nm

b)

For lam_B

       a sin  λ_A  = m_B  λ_B

For lam_A

        a sin θ_A = m_ λ_ A

to match they must have the same angle, so we can equal

           m_B  λ_B = m_A  λ_A

           m_B = m_A  λ_A / λ_B

           m_b = m_a 700/350

           m_B = m_a 2

If two firecrackers produce a sound level of 81 dBdB when fired simultaneously at a certain place, what will be the sound level if only one is exploded?

Answers

Answer:

77.96dB

Explanation:

Recall that decibels are a unit of measuring intensity of sound, and depend on the logarithm of the intensity

the intensity, measured in decibels is given by:

I(db)=10log(I/I0)

I is the intensity in MKS units; I0 is the threshold intensity for human hearing (10^-12 W/m^2)

Thus, if the two sounds together have a dB of 81, we know:

81=10log(I/I0)

using the data above, we can find the intensity of the two sounds to be

0.000125 W/m^2

therefore, one firecracker has an intensity half of that, or 0.0000625W/m^2

now use this value to find the dB of one firecracker:

I(dB0=10log(0.0000625/10^-12)=77.96dB

A circular loop of wire of area 25 cm2 lies in the plane of the paper. A decreasing magnetic field B is coming out of the paper. What is the direction of the induced current in the loop?

Answers

Answer:

counterclockwise

Explanation:

given data

area = 25 cm²

solution

We know that a changing magnetic field induces the current and induced emf is express as

[tex]\epsilon = -N \frac{d \phi }{dt}[/tex]     ..................................1

and we will get here direction of the induced current in the loop that is express by the Lens law that state that the direction of induces current is such that the magnetic flux due to the induced current opposes the change in magnetic flux due to the change in magnetic field

so when magnetic field decrease and point coming out of the paper.

so induced current in the loop will be counterclockwise

A 750 gram grinding wheel 25.0 cm in diameter is in the shape of a uniform solid disk. (we can ignore the small hole at the center). when it is in use, it turns at a consant 220 rpm about an axle perpendicular to its face through its center. When the power switch is turned off, you observe that the wheel stops in 45.0 s with constant angular acceleration due to friction at the axle. What torque does friction exert while this wheel is slowing down?

Answers

Answer:

Torque = 0.012 N.m

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of wheel;m = 750 g = 0.75 kg

Radius of wheel;r = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Final angular velocity; ω_f = 0

Initial angular velocity; ω_i = 220 rpm

Time taken;t = 45 seconds

Converting 220 rpm to rad/s we have;

220 × 2π/60 = 22π/3 rad/s

Equation of rotational motion is;

ω_f = ω_i + αt

Where α is angular acceleration

Making α the subject, we have;

α = (ω_f - ω_i)/t

α = (0 - 22π/3)/45

α = -0.512 rad/s²

The formula for the Moment of inertia is given as;

I = ½mr²

I = (1/2) × 0.75 × 0.25²

I = 0.0234375 kg.m²

Formula for torque is;

Torque = Iα

For α, we will take the absolute value as the negative sign denotes decrease in acceleration.

Thus;

Torque = 0.0234375 × 0.512

Torque = 0.012 N.m

g Can a rigid body experience any ACCELERATION when the resultant force acting on that rigid body is zero? Explain.Can a rigid body experience any ACCELERATION when the resultant force acting on that rigid body is zero? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

No, a rigid body cannot experience any acceleration when the resultant force acting on the body is zero.

Explanation:

If the net force on a body is zero, then it means that all the forces acting on the body are balanced and cancel out one another. This sate of equilibrium can be static equilibrium (like that of a rigid body), or dynamic equilibrium (that of a car moving with constant velocity)

For a body under this type of equilibrium,

ΣF = 0   ...1

where ΣF is the resultant force (total effective force due to all the forces acting on the body)

For a body to accelerate, there must be a force acting on it. The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied, for a constant mass of the body. The relationship between the net force and mass is given as

ΣF = ma   ...2

where m is the mass of the body

a is the acceleration of the body

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, we have

0 = ma

therefore,

a = 0

this means that if the resultant force acting on a rigid body is zero, then there won't be any force available to produce acceleration on the body.

A loud sound is produced in the downtown section of a city. Which of the following is least likely to occur with the sound waves?


A. The sound wave will reflect off Buildings and automobiles.

B. The air will transmit the sound in longitudinal waves of energy.

C. All those sound waves will be absorbed by the surroundings.

D. The sound will bend spread between buildings by the fraction.

Answers

Answer:

A. The sound wave will reflect off Buildings and automobiles.

Explanation:

This is because the sound waves would more likely propagate through diffraction through buildings and transmission through the air. It is also more likely to be absorbed by buildings than for multiple reflections to occur off buildings and automobiles. In the process of reflection, these materials would absorb the sound energy thereby reducing its ability to reflect.

A body is thrown vertically upwards with a speed of 95m / s and after 7s it reaches its maximum height. How fast does it reach its maximum height? What was the maximum height reached?

Answers

Explanation:

u = 95 m/sec ( Initial speed)

t = 7 sec ( Time of ascent)

According to Equations of Motion :

[tex]s = ut - \frac{1}{2} g {t}^{2} [/tex]

Max. Height = 95 * 7 - 4.9 * 49 = 424. 9 = 425 m

Answer:

332.5 m

Explanation:

At the maximum height, the velocity is 0.

Given:

v₀ = 95 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 7 s

Find: Δy

Δy = ½ (v + v₀) t

Δy = ½ (0 m/s + 95 m/s) (7 s)

Δy = 332.5 m

An astronomer is measuring the electromagnetic radiation emitted by two stars, both of which are assumed to be perfect blackbody emitters. For each star she makes a plot of the radiation intensity per unit wavelength as a function of wavelength. She notices that the curve for star A has a maximum that occurs at a shorter wavelength than does the curve for star B. What can she conclude about the surface temperatures of the two stars

Answers

Answer:

Star A has a higher surface temperature than star B.

Explanation:

The effective temperature of a star can be determined by means of its spectrum and Wien's displacement law:

[tex]T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{\lambda max}[/tex] (1)

Where T is the effective temperature of the star and [tex]\lambda_{max}[/tex] is the maximum peak of emission.  

A body that is hot enough emits light as a consequence of its temperature. For example, if an iron bar is put in contact with fire, it will start to change colors as the temperature increase, until it gets to a blue color, that scenario is known as Wien's displacement law. Which establishes that the peak of emission for the spectrum will be displaced to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase and higher wavelengths as the temperature decreases.

Therefore, star A has a higher surface temperature than star B, as it is shown in equation 1 since T and [tex]\lambda max[/tex] are inversely proportional.

Based on The MOHS hardness Scale, which mineral could be scratched by a penny but not by a fingernail

A. Fluorite
B. Calcite
C. Gypsum
D. Talc

Answers

The correct answer is B. Calcite

Explanation:

Mohs hardness scale indicates the hardness of minerals using a scale from 1 to 10 as well as defining the objects or tools that can be used to scratch the minerals. These two features of minerals are shown in the table of the image. About this, it is shown gypsum and talc can be scratched by just a fingernail, considering minerals with a hardness of 2.5 or below can be scratched by a fingernail. In the case of calcite that has a hardness of 3, this cannot be scratched by a fingernail, but it can be scratched by a penny, which works for minerals with a hardness of 3.5 or below. Thus, the correct answer is Calcite.

A damped oscillator is released from rest with an initial displacement of 10.00 cm. At the end of the first complete oscillation, the displacement reaches 9.05 cm. When 4 more oscillations are completed, what is the displacement reached

Answers

Answer:

The  displacement is  [tex]A_r = 6.071 \ cm[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The initial displacement is [tex]A_o = 10 \ cm[/tex]

     The displacement at the end of first oscillation is  [tex]A_d = 9.05 \ cm[/tex]

     

Generally the damping constant of this damped oscillator is mathematically represented as  

           [tex]\eta = \frac{A_d}{A_o}[/tex]

substituting values

           [tex]\eta = \frac{9.05}{10}[/tex]

        [tex]\eta = 0.905[/tex]

The displacement after 4 more oscillation is mathematically represented as

       [tex]A_r = \eta^4 * A_d[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]A_r = (0.905)^4 * (9.05)[/tex]

      [tex]A_r = 6.071 \ cm[/tex]

Answer:

Displacement reached is 6.0708 cm

Explanation:

Formula for damping Constant "C"

[tex]C^n=\frac{A_2}{A_1}[/tex]                  where n=1,2,3,........n

Where:

[tex]A_2[/tex] is the displacement after first oscillation    

[tex]A_1\\[/tex] is the initial Displacement

[tex]A_1=10\ cm\\A_2=9.05\ cm\\[/tex]

In our case, n=1.

[tex]C=\frac{9.05}{10}\\C=0.905[/tex]

After 4 more oscillation, n=4:

[tex]C^4=\frac{A_6}{A_2}[/tex]                                        

Where:

[tex]A_6[/tex] is the final Displacement after 4 more oscillations.

[tex]A_6=(0.905)^4*(9.05)\\A_6=6.0708\ cm[/tex]

Displacement reached is 6.0708 cm

A belt is run over two drums. The larger drum has weight 4 lbs and a radius of gyration of 1.25 inches while the smaller drum has weight 2.7 lbs and a radius of gyration of 0.75 inches. The tension from the smaller drum is held constant at 6 lbs. If it is known that the speed of the belt is 11 ft/s after 0.16 s, what is the tension between the drums?

Answers

Answer:

269 lb

Explanation:

We first find the tangential acceleration, a on the drums

a = Δv/Δt since the speed of the belt is 11 ft/s after 0.16 s, Δv = 11 ft/s and Δt = 0.16 s

a = Δv/Δt = 11 ft/s ÷ 0.16 s = 68.75 ft/s²

Since torque τ = Tk = Iα where I = moment of inertia of larger drum = Mk² where m = mass of larger drum = 4 lbs, k = radius of gyration of larger drum = 1.25 inches, T = tension due to larger drum and α = angular acceleration of larger drum.

So, T = Iα/k = Mk²α/k = Mαk = Ma (since a = αk )

T = 4 lbs × 68.75 ft/s² = 275 lb

The tension due to the smaller drum is T' = 6 lb  .

So the net tension in the belt is T'' = T - T' = 275 lb - 6 lb = 269 lb

Explanation:

If a father and his son want to play on a seesaw then to balance the torque of the seesaw the father should sit near the pivot as he had more weight as compared to his son, while the son should sit a little farther from the pivot point as compared to his father.

What is the mechanical advantage?

Mechanical advantage is defined as a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, It is used to analyze the forces in simple machines like levers and pulleys.

Mechanical advantage = output force(load) /input force (effort)

As given in the problem statement If a father and his son wish to play on a seesaw,

The father should sit close to the pivot because he weighs more than his son, and the son should sit a little farther away from the pivot point than his father. This will help balance the torque of the seesaw.

Thus, the father should sit near the pivot on the one side and the son should sit a little farther from the pivot of a seesaw on the other side.
