Answer:

73.13°

Explanation:

According to snell's law,

n1sinθi = n2sinθr

n1/n2 = sinθr/sinθi

Critical angle is the angle of incidence at the denser medium when the angle of incidence at the less dense medium is 90°

This means i=C and r = 90°

The Snell's law formula will become

n1/n2 = sinC/sin90°

n2/n1 = 1/sinC

Where n1 is the refractive index of the less dense medium = 1.473

n2 is the refractive index of the denser medium = 1.540

Substituting the values in the formula,

1.540/1.473 = 1/sinC

1.045 = 1/sinC

SinC = 1/1.045

SinC = 0.957

C = sin^-1(0.957)

C = 73.13°

Answer:

a)  Q = 397.57 pC , Q = 3.18 104 pC , b) C = 1.157 10⁻¹⁰ F ,  V = 3.4375 V ,

c)  U = 54.7 nJ ,  d) ΔU = 54 nJ,

Explanation:

a) The capacity of a capacitor is defined

        C = Q / V

        Q = C V

         

can also be calculated using geometry consideration

        C = e or A / d

         

we reduce to the SI system

       A = 25.0 cm² (1 m / 10² cm) 2 = 25.0 10⁻⁴ m²

       d = 1.53 cm = 1.53 10⁻² m

we substitute

         Q = eo A / d V

         Q = 8.85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻² 275

         Q = 3.9757 10⁻¹⁰ C

         

let's reduce to pC

         Q = 3.9757 10⁻¹⁰ C (10¹² pC / 1 C)

          Q = 397.57 pC

when the capacitor is introduced into the water the dielectric constant is different

           Q = k Q₀

           Q = 80 397.57

           Q = 3.18 104 pC

b) Find capacitance and voltage after submerged in water

           C = k C₀

           C = 80 8.85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻²

           C = 1.157 10⁻¹⁰ F

           V = Vo / k

            V = 275/80

            V = 3.4375 V

c) The stored energy is

             U = ½ C V²

              U = ½, 85 10⁻¹² 25 10⁻⁴ / 1.53 10⁻²     275²

             U = 5.47 10⁻⁸ J

let's reduce to nJ

              109 nJ = 1 J

               U = 54.7 nJ

d) energy after submerging

             U = ½ (kCo) (Vo / k) 2

             U = ½ Co Vo2 / k

             U = U₀ / k

             U = 54.7 / 80 nJ

              U = 0.68375 nJ

the energy change is

         ΔU = U₀ -U

          ΔU = 54.7 - 0.687375

miskamm [114]

Answer:

W= -2.5 (p₁*0.0012) joules

Explanation:

Given that p₀= initial pressure, p₁=final pressure, Vi= initial volume=0 and Vf=final volume= 6/5 liters where p₁=p₀ then

In adiabatic compression, work done by mixture during compression is

W= \int\limits^f_i {p} \, dV  where f= final volume and i =initial volume, p=pressure

p can be written as p=K/V^γ where K=p₀Vi^γ =p₁Vf^γ

W= \int\limits^f_i {K/V^} \, dV

W= K/1-γ ( 1/Vf^γ-1 - 1/Vi^γ-1)

W=1/1-γ (p₁Vf-p₀Vi)

W= 1/1-1.40 (p₁*6/5 -p₀*0)  

W= -2.5 (p₁*6/5*0.001)   changing liters to m³

W= -2.5 (p₁*0.0012) joules

How would the interference pattern change for this experiment if a. the grating was moved twice as far from the screen and b. th
Airida [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

- Here we will assume that the grating has the line density ( N ) defined by the number of lines per mm.

- The angle that each fringe forms on the screen is defined by ( θ ).

- The order of bright/dark spot is defined by an integer ( n )

- The wavelength of the incident light is ( λ )

- Here we will use the relation given for diffraction grating by the Young's Experiment as follows:

                               n*lambda = \frac{sin(theta)}{N}

- The above given formulation is for constructive interference.

- We will inspect the effect of increasing the distance between the screen and the grating. Consider the length ( L ) from the center of the grating to the center of the screen. The distance ( yn ) will denote the distance between each fringe in vertical direction on the screen.

- For small angles ( θ ) we can make an approximation of sin ( θ ) ≈ tan ( θ ). Where,

                            sin ( θ ) ≈ tan ( θ ) = [ yn / L ]

- Substitute the above approximation in the given relation of diffraction gratings as follows:

                            y_n = n*lamda*L*N

- To double the distance between the screen and grating we will use the above relation with ( 2L ):

                            yn ∝ L

Result: The distance between each order of bright and dark fringe is doubled. The interference pattern would have twice the spread! This also means that less number of bright spots would be seen on the screen as the coverage area would require a larger screen to accommodate the entire interference pattern. The spread also reduces the intensity/contrast between the bright and dark fringes because the distance travelled by each ray of light has increased. The intensity is inversely proportional to the square of distance travelled.

- Similarly, the line density of the grating ( N ) was doubled. Then,

                            yn ∝ N

Result: The distance between each order of bright and dark fringe is doubled. The interference pattern would have twice the spread!This also means that less number of bright spots would be seen on the screen as the coverage area would require a larger screen to accommodate the entire interference pattern.
