Three flat layers of transparent material are stacked upon one another. The top layer has index of refraction n1, the middle has

n2 and the bottom one has n3. If n1 > n2 > n3, and if a ray of light strikes the top layer at an angle of incidence, in which layer is the angle of refraction the greatest? Why?
a. the bottom layer
b. the top layer
c. Once the ray enters the touching layers, the angle of refraction remains constant.
d. the middle layer

Answer:

a. the bottom medium

Explanation:

it has the least index of refraction and hence most rarer.

A carnival game consists of a two masses on a curved frictionless track, as pictured below. The player pushes the larger object
Harman [31]

Answer:

v₁₀ = 1.90 m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we are given the maximum height data, with energy we can know how fast the body came out

Final mechanical energy, maximum height

    Em_{f} = U = m g h

Initial mechanical energy, in the lower part of the track

    Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

    Em=   Em_{f}

    ½ m v² = m g h

    v = √ 2gh

Now we can use the moment to find the speed with which objects collide

The large object has a mass M = 5.41 kg a velocity starts v₁₀, the small object has a mass m = 1.68 kg an initial velocity of zero v₂₀ = 0 and  final velocity v

Initial before the crash

    p₀ = M v₁₀ + 0

Final after the crash

      p_{f} = M v1f + m v

   p₀ =   p_{f}

   M v₁₀ = M v_{1f}+ m v

As the shock is elastic the kinetic energy is conserved

     K₀ = K_{f}

    ½ M v₁₀² = ½ M v_{1f}² + ½ m v²

Let's write the system of equations

    M v₁₀ = M  v_{1f} + m v

    M v1₁₀² = M v_{1f}² + m v²

We cleared v1f in the first we replaced in the second

   v_{1f} = (M v₁₀ - mv) / M

    M v₁₀² = M (M v₁₀ - mv)² / M² + m v²

    M v₁₀² = 1 / M (M² v₁₀² - 2mM v v₁₀ + m² v²) +m v²

     v₁₀² (M - M) + 2 m v v₁₀ - v² (m2 + m) / M = 0

     2 m v₁₀ - v (m + 1) m/ M = 0

     v₁₀ = v (m +1) / (2M)

Let's substitute the value of v

     v1₁₀= √ (2gh) (m +1) / (2M)

Let's calculate

    v₁₀ = √ (2 9.8 3) (1+ 1.68) / (2  5.41)

    V₁₀ = 7.668 (2.68) / 10.82

   v₁₀ = 1.90 m / s

A CCD has a greatest possible pixel value of 4095. what is the bit level of this CCD?
Shtirlitz [24]
<span>Bit level for a CCD (Charged coupled device) with a greatest possible pixel value of 4095:The relationship between the bit level and pixel value is given as:pixel value = 2^bit level.Most charged coupled devices (CCDs) have 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit levels.Using simple mathematics, we can see that 2^12 = 4096.Since the maximum number of pixels is 4095, the bit level is 12., i.e. the CCD has 12-bit level.</span>

natta225 [31]
<span>1.5 minutes per rotation. The formula for centripetal force is A = v^2/r where A = acceleration v = velocity r = radius So let's substitute the known values and solve for v. So F = v^2/r 0.98 m/s^2 = v^2/200 m 196 m^2/s^2 = v^2 14 m/s = v So we need a velocity of 14 m/s. Let's calculate how fast the station needs to spin. Its circumference is 2*pi*r, so C = 2 * 3.14159 * 200 m C = 1256.636 m And we need a velocity of 14 m/s, so 1256.636 m / 14 m/s = 89.75971429 s Rounding to 2 significant digits gives us a rotational period of 90 seconds, or 1.5 minutes.</span>
