An escaped convict runs 1.70 km due East of the prison. He then runs due North to a friend's house. If the magnitude of the conv

ict's total displacement vector is 2.50 km, what is the direction of his total displacement vector with respect to due East?

Answer:

The right approach will be "47° north of east".

Explanation:

The given values are:

East of prison

= 1.70 km

Displacement vector

= 2.50 km

Now,

The direction will be:

⇒ $Cos \ \theta =\frac{1.7}{2.5}$

⇒ $=0.68$

⇒ $\theta=47.16^{\circ}$

i,e., $\theta = 47^{\circ}$ (north of east)

A mercury thermometer has a glass bulb of interior volume 0.100 cm3 at 10°c. the glass capillary 10) tube above the bulb has an

Nadya [2.5K]

Initial volume of mercury is
V = 0.1 cm³

The temperature rise is 35 - 5 = 30 ⁰C = 30 ⁰K.

Because the coefficient of volume expansion is 1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K, the change in volume of the mercury is
ΔV = (1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K)*(30 ⁰K)(0.1 cm³) = 5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³

The cross sectional area of the tube is
A = 0.012 mm² = (0.012x10⁻² cm²).
Therefore the rise of mercury in the tube is
h = ΔV/A
= (5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³)/(0.012x10⁻² cm²)
= 4.5 cm

Answer: 4.5 cm

27) Critical angle is larger for the glass-water interface

Explanation:

20)

It is possible to slow down light and then speed it up again by making light passing from a medium with low optical density (for example, air) into a medium with higher optical density (for example, glass), and then make the light passing again from glass to air.

This phenomenon is known as refraction: when a light wave crosses the interface between two different mediums, it changes speed (and also direction). The speed decreases if the light passes from a medium at lower optical density to a medium with higher optical density, and viceversa.

21)

The change in direction of light when it passes through the boundary between two mediums is given by Snell's law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

with

$n_1, n_2$ are the refractive index of 1st and 2nd medium

$\theta_1, \theta_2$ are the angle of incidence and refraction (the angle between the incident ray (or refracted ray) and the normal to the boundary)

The larger the optical density of the medium, the larger the value of n, the smaller the angle: so, when a light ray enters a medium with higher optical density, it bends towards the normal.

22)

The index of refraction describes the optical density of a medium. More in detail:

A high index of refraction means that the material has a high optical density, which means that light travels more slowly into that medium
A low index of refraction means that the material has a low optical density, which means that light travels faster into that medium

Be careful that optical density is a completely different property from density.

23)

As we said in part 22), the index of refraction describes the optical density of a medium.

In this case, we have:

A material with refractive index of 1.1
A material with refractive index of 2.2

As we said previously, light travels faster in materials with a lower refractive index: therefore in this case, light travels more quickly in material 1, which has a refractive index of only 1.1, than material 2, whose index of refraction is much higher (2.2).

24)

Rewriting Snell's law,

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$ (1)

For light moving from air to water:

$n_1 \sim 1.00$ is the index of refraction of air

$n_2 = 1.33$ is the index of refraction ofwater

In this case, $\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{1.00}{1.33}=0.75$

For light moving from air to glass,

$n_2 = 1.51$ is the index of refraction of glass

And so

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{1.00}{1.51}=0.66$

From eq.(1), we see that the angle of refraction $\theta_2$ is smaller in the 2nd case: so glass refracts light more than water, because of its higher index of refraction.

25)

The index of refraction of a material is

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in the material

So, the index of refraction is inversely proportional to the speed of light in the material:

The higher the index of refraction, the slower the light
The lower the index of refraction, the faster the light

26)

From Snell's law,

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

We notice that when light moves from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, $n_1 > n_2$ , so $\frac{n_1}{n_2}>1$ , and since $sin \theta_2$ cannot be larger than 1, there exists a maximum value of the angle of incidence $\theta_c$ (called critical angle) above which refraction no longer occurs: in this case, the incident light ray is completely reflected into the original medium 1, and this phenomenon is called total internal reflection.

The value of the critical angle is given by

$sin \theta_c = \frac{n_2}{n_1}$

For angles of incidence above this value, total internal reflection occurs.

27)

Using:

$sin \theta_c = \frac{n_2}{n_1}$

For the interface glass-air,

$n_1 \sim 1.51\\n_2 = 1.00$

The critical angle is

$\theta_c = sin^{-1}(\frac{n_2}{n_1})=sin^{-1}(\frac{1.00}{1.51})=41.5^{\circ}$

For the interface glass-water,

$n_1 \sim 1.51\\n_2 = 1.33$

The critical angle is

$\theta_c = sin^{-1}(\frac{n_2}{n_1})=sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.51})=61.7^{\circ}$

So, the critical angle is larger for the glass-water interface.
