Answer:

The critical angle is 34 degree.

Explanation:

Given the index refraction = 1.77

We have to find the critical angle of sapphire when the air has the index of refraction of 1.0.

Use the below formula to find the angle.

sin(θ)c = 1 / n

sin(θ) c  = 1 / 1.77

(θ) c  = Sin^-1 (0.565)

= 34.4 degree

= 34 degrees.

Thus, the critical angle is 34 degree.

An iron ball and an aluminum ball of mass 100 g each are heated to the same temperature and then cooled to a temperature of 20°C
Mekhanik [1.2K]
As the temperature changes and their masses are the same, heat lost by the balls is directly proportional to their specific heat values. The heat lost by the aluminum ball is higher implies aluminum has higher specific heat.

Consider the following spectrum where two colorful lines (A and B) are positioned on a dark background. The violet end of the sp
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

This type of spectrum is called line emission spectrum . Because it consists of lines . It is emission spectrum because it is due to emission of radiation from a source .

b ) The wavelength of a photon  is inversely proportional to its energy .  Photon  due to transition between n = 1 and n = 3 will have higher energy than

that due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 . So the later photon ( B)  will have greater wavelength or photon  due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 will have greater wavelength .

A rigid vessel of 0.06 m3 volume contains an ideal gas , CV =2.5R, at 500K and 1 bar.a). if 15000J heat is transferred to the ga
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Given that

V= 0.06 m³

Cv= 2.5 R= 5/2 R

T₁=500 K

P₁=1 bar

Heat addition = 15000 J

We know that heat addition at constant volume process ( rigid vessel ) given as

Q = n Cv ΔT

We know that

P V = n R T

n=PV/RT

n= (100 x 0.06)(500 x 8.314)

n=1.443 mol

So

Q = n Cv ΔT

15000 = 1.433 x 2.5 x 8.314 ( T₂-500)

T₂=1000.12 K

We know that at constant volume process

P₂/P₁=T₂/T₁

P₂/1 = 1000.21/500

P₂= 2 bar

Entropy change given as

\Delta S=nC_P\ln \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}-nR\ln \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}

Cp-Cv= R

Cp=7/2 R

Now by putting the values

\Delta S=nC_P\ln \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}-nR\ln \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}

\Delta S=1.443\times 3.5\times 8.314\ln \dfrac{1000.21}{500}-1.443\times 8.314\ln \dfrac{2}{1}

a)ΔS= 20.79 J/K

b)

If the process is adiabatic it means that heat transfer is zero.

So

ΔS= 20.79 J/K

We know that

\Delta S_{univ}=\Delta S_{syatem}+\Delta S_{surr}

Process is adiabatic

\Delta S_{surr}=0

\Delta S_{univ}=\Delta S_{syatem}+\Delta S_{surr}

\Delta S_{univ}= 20.79 +0

\Delta S_{univ}= 20.79

When the balloon hits the ground, it rebounds slightly. What is the source of the energy for this rebound? A. When the balloon h
nevsk [136]

Answer:

The correct answer is c.    When the balloon hits the ground, the rubber envelope stretches, storing elastic potential energy; this elastic potential energy is converted to the gravitational potentiaL

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation of the globe

When it touches the ground, the part that is in contact decreases its velocity to zero, but the upper part of the ball continues to move, which creates that the molecules approach slightly, if we approximate the spring links, a repulsive force is created that after all the particles reach zero speed. The force of the springs moves the ball up until the force decreases to zero.

We can relate this force of Hooke with an elastic energy

This energy can be stored in the deformation of the system, as elastic potential energy, which is subsequently transformed into gravitational potential energy when the balloon is lifted.

The correct answer is c
