Answer:
The radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.
Explanation:
Given;
intensity of light, I = 1 kW/m²
The radiation pressure of light is given as;
[tex]Radiation \ Pressure = \frac{Flux \ density}{Speed \ of \ light}[/tex]
I kW = 1000 J/s
The energy flux density = 1000 J/m².s
The speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Thus, the radiation pressure of the light is calculated as;
[tex]Radiation \ pressure = \frac{1000}{3*10^{8}} \\\\Radiation \ pressure =3.33*10^{-6} \ Pa[/tex]
Therefore, the radiation pressure of the light is 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ Pa.
An unstable particle at rest spontaneously breaks into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the first fragment is 3.00 10-28 kg, and that of the other is 1.86 10-27 kg. If the lighter fragment has a speed of 0.844c after the breakup, what is the speed of the heavier fragment
Answer: Speed = [tex]3.10^{-31}[/tex] m/s
Explanation: Like in classical physics, when external net force is zero, relativistic momentum is conserved, i.e.:
[tex]p_{f} = p_{i}[/tex]
Relativistic momentum is calculated as:
p = [tex]\frac{mu}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}}{c^{2}} } }[/tex]
where:
m is rest mass
u is velocity relative to an observer
c is light speed, which is constant (c=[tex]3.10^{8}[/tex]m/s)
Initial momentum is zero, then:
[tex]p_{f}[/tex] = 0
[tex]p_{1}-p_{2}[/tex] = 0
[tex]p_{1} = p_{2}[/tex]
To find speed of the heavier fragment:
[tex]\frac{mu_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{c^{2}} } }=\frac{mu_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{2}}{c^{2}} } }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.86.10^{-27}u_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } }=\frac{3.10^{-28}.0.844.3.10^{8}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.844c)^{2}}{c^{2}} } }[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1.86.10^{-27}u_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } }=1.42.10^{-19}[/tex]
[tex]1.86.10^{-27}u_{1} = 1.42.10^{-19}.{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } }[/tex]
[tex](1.86.10^{-27}u_{1})^{2} = (1.42.10^{-19}.{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } })^{2}[/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2} = 2.02.10^{-38}.(1-\frac{u_{1}^{2}}{9.10^{16}} )[/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2} = 2.02.10^{-38} -[2.02.10^{-38}(\frac{u_{1}^{2}}{9.10^{16}} )][/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2} = 2.02.10^{-38} -2.24.10^{-23}.u^{2}_{1}[/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2}+2.24.10^{-23}.u^{2}_{1} = 2.02.10^{-38}[/tex]
[tex]2.24.10^{-23}.u^{2}_{1} = 2.02.10^{-38}[/tex]
[tex]u^{2}_{1} = \frac{2.02.10^{-38}}{2.24.10^{-23}}[/tex]
[tex]u_{1} = \sqrt{9.02.10^{-62}}[/tex]
[tex]u_{1} = 3.10^{-31}[/tex]
The speed of the heavier fragment is [tex]u_{1} = 3.10^{-31}[/tex]m/s.

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?
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
Light of wavelength 500 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.2 mm apart. If the spacing between the first and third dark fringes is to be 4.0 mm, what is the distance from the slits to a screen?
Answer:
L = 0.8 m
Explanation:
Since, the distance between first and third dark fringes is 4 mm. Therefore, the fringe spacing between consecutive dark fringes will be:
Δx = 4 mm/2 = 2 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m
but,
Δx = λL/d
λ = wavelength of the light = 500 nm = 5 x 10⁻⁷ m
d = slit spacing = 0.2 mm = 0.2 x 10⁻³ m
L = Distance between slits and screen = ?
Therefore, using the values, we get:
2 x 10⁻³ m = (5 x 10⁻⁷ m)(L)/(0.2 x 10⁻³)
L = (2 x 10⁻³ m)(0.2 x 10⁻³ m)/(5 x 10⁻⁷ m)
L = 0.8 m
Krishna and Seldon now try a homework problem. A policeman sitting in his unmarked police car sees an approaching motorcyclist go through a red light two blocks away. He turns on his siren at a frequency of 1000 Hz as the motorcyclist heads directly toward him at 61 mph (27.27 m/s). What frequency does the motorcyclist hear? (Enter your answer to at least the nearest integer. Assume the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.) Hz What frequency does the motorcyclist hear when stopped with the police car approaching at 61 mph (27.27 m/s)? (Enter your answer to at least the nearest integer. Assume the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.) Hz
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply formula of Doppler's effect
Here source is fixed and observer is approaching the source
f = f₀ x [(V + v ) / V ]
f₀ is original and f is apparent frequency , V is velocity of sound and v is velocity of motorcyclist .
f = 1000 x [(331 + 27.27 ) / 331 ]
= 1082 .4 Hz
This is the frequency heard by motorcyclist .
When police car is approaching him when he is stopped
f = f₀ x [V /(V - v ) ]
v is velocity of police car .
= 1000 x 331 / (331 - 27.27)
= 1090 Hz

At what distance from the axis of the wire, and greater than the radius of the wire, is the magnetic field strength equal to that at a distance 2.0 mm from the axis. distance
Answer:
8 mm
Explanation:
From the information given:
The Ampere circuital law can be used to estimate the magnetic field strength at two points when the distance is less than the radius and when the distance is greater than the radius.
when the distance is less than the radius ; we have:
[tex]B_1 = \dfrac{ \mu_o \times I \times r}{2 \times \pi \times \ d^2}[/tex]
when the distance is greater than the radius; we have:

Equating both equations together ; we have :
[tex]\dfrac{ \mu_o \times I \times r}{2 \times \pi \times \ d^2} = \dfrac{\mu_o \ \times I}{2 \ \times \pi \times R}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{1}{R}= \dfrac{r}{d^2}[/tex]

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. Assume the angles involved are small. Part A By what factor will the width of the central bright spot on the screen change if the wavelength is doubled
Answer:
If the wavelength is doubled, the width of the central bright spot on the screen will increase by a factor of 2 (that is, it will also double).
Explanation:
For a single-slit diffraction, diffraction patterns are found at angles θ for which
w sinθ = mλ
where w is the width
λ is wavelength
m is an integer, m = 1,2,3, ....
From the equation, w sinθ = mλ
For the first case, where nothing was changed
w₁ = mλ₁ / sinθ
Now, If the wavelength is doubled, that is, λ₂ = 2λ₁
The equation becomes
w₂ = mλ₂ / sinθ
Then, w₂ = m(2λ₁) / sinθ
w₂ = 2(mλ₁) / sinθ
Recall that, w₁ = mλ₁ / sinθ
Therefore, w₂ = 2w₁
Hence, If the wavelength is doubled, the width of the central bright spot on the screen will increase by a factor of 2 (that is, it will also double).

A pair of narrow, parallel slits separated by 0.230 mm is illuminated by green light (λ = 546.1 nm). The interference pattern is observed on a screen 1.50 m away from the plane of the parallel slits.
A) Calculate the distance from the central maximum to the first bright region on either side of the central maximum.
B) Calculate the distance between the first and second dark bands in the interference pattern.
Answer:
A) y = 3.56 mm
B) y = 3.56 mm
Explanation:
A) The distance from the central maximum to the first bright region can be found using Young's double-slit equation:
[tex] y = \frac{m\lambda L}{d} [/tex]
Where:
λ: is the wavelength = 546.1 nm
m: is first bright region = 1
L: is the distance between the screen and the plane of the parallel slits = 1.50 m
d: is the separation between the slits = 0.230 mm
[tex] y = \frac{m\lambda L}{d} = \frac{1*546.1 \cdot 10^{-9} m*1.50 m}{0.230 \cdot 10^{-3} m} = 3.56 \cdot 10^{-3} m [/tex]
B) The distance between the first and second dark bands is:
[tex] \Delta y = \frac{\Delta m*\lambda L}{d} [/tex]
Where:
[tex] \Delta m = m_{2} - m_{1} = 2 - 1 = 1 [/tex]
[tex] \Delta y = \frac{1*546.1 \cdot 10^{-9} m*1.50 m}{0.230 \cdot 10^{-3} m} = 3.56 \cdot 10^{-3} m [/tex]

If Superman really had x-ray vision at 0.12 nm wavelength and a 4.1 mm pupil diameter, at what maximum altitude could he distinguish villains from heroes, assuming that he needs to resolve points separated by 5.4 cm to do this?
Answer:
Maximum altitude to see(L) = 1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
wavelength (λ) = 0.12 nm = 0.12 × 10⁻⁹ m
Pupil Diameter (d) = 4.1 mm = 4 × 10⁻³ m
Separation distance (D) = 5.4 cm = 0.054 m
Find:
Maximum altitude to see(L)
Computation:
Resolving power = 1.22(λ / d)
D / L = 1.22(λ / d)
0.054 / L = 1.22 [(0.12 × 10⁻⁹) / (4 × 10⁻³ m)]
0.054 / L = 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 0.054 / 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 0.054 / [0.0366 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 1.47 × 10⁶
Maximum altitude to see(L) = 1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)

Answer:
Alp decay.
Explanation:
From the above equation, the parent nucleus 185 79Au produces a daughter nuclei 181 77 Ir.
A careful observation of the atomic mass of the parent nucleus (185) and the atomic mass of the daughter nuclei (181) shows that the atomic mass of the daughter nuclei decreased by a factor of 4. Also, the atomic number of the daughter nuclei also decreased by a factor of 2 when compared with the parent nucleus as shown in the equation given above.
This simply means that the parent nucleus has undergone alpha decay which is represented with a helium atom as 4 2He.
Therefore, the equation is an example of alpha decay.
A charged capacitor and an inductor are connected in series. At time t = 0, the current is zero, but the capacitor is charged. If T is the period of the resulting oscillations, the next time, after t = 0 that the energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is a maximum is
Answer:
t = T / 2 all energy is stored in the inductor
Explanation:
The circuit described is an oscillating circuit where the charge of the condensation stops the inductor and vice versa, in this system the angular velocity of the oscillation is
w = √1/LC
2π / T =√1 / LC
T = 2π √LC
The energy is constant and for the initial instant it is completely stored in the capacitor
Uc = Q₀² / 2C
In the process, the capacitor is discharging and the energy is stored in the inductor until when the charge in the capacitors zero, all the energy is stored in the inductor
U = L I² / 2
in the intermediate instant the energy is stored in the two elements.
Since the period of the system is T for time t = 0 all energy is stored in the capacitor and for t = T / 2 all energy is stored in the inductor
After t = 0 the maximum energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is equal to [tex]U'=\dfrac{L I^{2}}{2}[/tex] for the time period, half of period of oscillation (t = T/2).
The given problem is based on the charging and discharging concepts of capacitor. An oscillating circuit is a circuit where the charge of the capacitor stops the inductor and vice versa, in this system the angular frequency of the oscillation is given as,
[tex]\omega =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\\\\\\\dfrac{2 \pi}{T} =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\\\\\\T = 2\pi \times \sqrt{LC}[/tex]
here, T is the period of oscillation.
Also, the energy stored in the capacitor is constant and for the initial instant it is completely stored in the capacitor. So, the energy stored is given as,
[tex]U =\dfrac{Q^{2}}{2C}[/tex]
here, C is the capacitance.
In the process, the capacitor is discharging and the energy is stored in the inductor until when the charge in the capacitors zero, all the energy is stored in the inductor. So, the expression for the energy stored in the inductor is,
[tex]U'=\dfrac{L I^{2}}{2}[/tex]
here, L is the inductance and I is the current.
Note :- The period of the system is T for time t = 0 all energy is stored in the capacitor and for t = T / 2 all energy is stored in the inductor.
Thus, we conclude that after t = 0 the maximum energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is equal to [tex]U'=\dfrac{L I^{2}}{2}[/tex] for the time period, half of period of oscillation (t = T/2).

When light of wavelength 233 nm shines on a metal surface the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is 1.98 eV. What is the maximum wavelength (in nm) of light that will produce photoelectrons from this surface
Answer:
λmax = 372 nm
Explanation:
First we find the energy of photon:
E = hc/λ
where,
E = Energy of Photon = ?
λ = Wavelength of Light = 233 nm = 2.33 x 10⁻⁷ m
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
h = Planks Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
Therefore,
E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.33 x 10⁻⁷ m)
E = 8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric Equation:
E = Work Function + Kinetic Energy
8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = Work Function + (1.98 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)
Work Function = 8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 3.168 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Work Function = 5.332 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Since, work function is the minimum amount of energy required to emit electron. Therefore:
Work Function = hc/λmax
λmax = hc/Work Function
where,
λmax = maximum wavelength of light that will produce photoelectrons = ?
Therefore,
λmax = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(5.332 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)
λmax = 3.72 x 10⁻⁷ m
λmax = 372 nm
Suppose you are planning a trip in which a spacecraft is to travel at a constant velocity for exactly six months, as measured by a clock on board the spacecraft, and then return home at the same speed. Upon return, the people on earth will have advanced exactly 120 years into the future. According to special relativity, how fast must you travel
Answer:
I must travel with a speed of 2.97 x 10^8 m/s
Explanation:
Sine the spacecraft flies at the same speed in the to and fro distance of the journey, then the time taken will be 6 months plus 6 months
Time that elapses on the spacecraft = 1 year
On earth the people have advanced 120 yrs
According to relativity, the time contraction on the spacecraft is gotten from
[tex]t[/tex] = [tex]t_{0} /\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }[/tex]
where
[tex]t[/tex] is the time that elapses on the spacecraft = 120 years
[tex]t_{0}[/tex] = time here on Earth = 1 year
[tex]\beta[/tex] is the ratio v/c
where
v is the speed of the spacecraft = ?
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s
substituting values, we have
120 = 1/[tex]\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }[/tex]
squaring both sides of the equation, we have
14400 = 1/[tex](1 - \beta ^{2} )[/tex]
14400 - 14400[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex] = 1
14400 - 1 = 14400[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex]
14399 = 14400[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex]
[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex] = 14399/14400 = 0.99
[tex]\beta = \sqrt{0.99}[/tex] = 0.99
substitute β = v/c
v/c = 0.99
but c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
v = 0.99c = 0.99 x 3 x 10^8 = 2.97 x 10^8 m/s
an electromagnetic wave propagates in a vacuum in the x-direction. In what direction does the electric field oscilate
Answer:
The electric field can either oscillates in the z-direction, or the y-direction, but must oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are waves that have an oscillating magnetic and electric field, that oscillates perpendicularly to one another. Electromagnetic waves are propagated in a direction perpendicular to both the electric and the magnetic field. If the wave is propagated in the x-direction, then the electric field can either oscillate in the y-direction, or the z-direction but must oscillate perpendicularly to both the the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field, and the direction of propagation of the wave.
Ellen says that whenever the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement of an object from its equilibrium position, the motion of the object is simple harmonic motion. Mary says this is true only if the acceleration is opposite in direction to the displacement. Which one, if either, is correct
Answer:
Both Ellen and Mary are correct.
Explanation:
Both are correct, it's just different ways of saying the same thing.
When the acceleration is always opposite in direction to the displacement, then, the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement of an object from its equilibrium position
A velocity selector can be used to measure the speed of a charged particle. A beam of particles is directed along the axis of the instrument. A parallel plate capacitor sets up an electric field E which is oriented perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B. If the plates are separated by 3 mm and the value of the magnetic field is 0.3 T, what voltage between the plates will allow particles of speed 5 x 105 m/s to pass straight through without deflection? A. 70 V B. 140 V C. 450 V D. 1,400 V E. 2,800 V
Answer:
C. 450v
Explanation:
Using
Voltage= B*distance of separation*velocity
3mm x 0.3T x 5E5m/s
= 450v
In a double-slit experiment the distance between slits is 5.0 mm and the slits are 1.4 m from the screen. Two interference patterns can be seen on the screen: one due to light of wavelength 450 nm, and the other due to light of wavelength 590 nm. What is the separation in meters on the screen between the m = 5 bright fringes of the two interference patterns?
Answer:
Δy = 1 10⁻⁴ m
Explanation:
In double-slit experiments the constructive interference pattern is described by the equation
d sin θ = m λ
In this case we have two wavelengths, so two separate patterns are observed, let's use trigonometry to find the angle
tan θ = y / L
as the angles are small,
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ
substituting
sin θ = y / L
d y / L = m λ
y = m λ / d L
let's apply this formula for each wavelength
λ = 450 nm = 450 10⁻⁹ m
m = 5
d = 5.0 mm = 5.0 10⁻³ m
y₁ = 5 450 10⁻⁹ / (5 10⁻³ 1.4)
y₁ = 3.21 10⁻⁴ m
we repeat the calculation for lam = 590 nm = 590 10⁻⁹ m
y₂ = 5 590 10⁻⁹ / (5 10⁻³ 1.4)
y₂= 4.21 10⁻⁴ m
the separation of these two lines is
Δy = y₂ - y₁
Δy = (4.21 - 3.21) 10⁻⁴ m
Δy = 1 10⁻⁴ m
This problem explores the behavior of charge on conductors. We take as an example a long conducting rod suspended by insulating strings. Assume that the rod is initially electrically neutral. For convenience we will refer to the left end of the rod as end A, and the right end of the rod as end B. In the answer options for this problem, "strongly attracted/repelled" means "attracted/repelled with a force of magnitude similar to that which would exist between two charged balls.A. A small metal ball is given a negative charge, then brought near (i.e., within about 1/10 the length of the rod) to end A of the rod. What happens to end A of the rod when the ball approaches it closely this first time?
What happens to end A of the rod when the ball approaches it closely this first time?a. It is strongly repelled.b. It is strongly attracted.c. It is weakly attracted.d. It is weakly repelled.e. It is neither attracted nor repelled.
Answer:
e. It is neither attracted nor repelled.
Explanation:
Electrostatic attraction or repulsion occurs between two or more charged particles or conductors. In this case, if the negatively charged ball is brought close to the neutral end A of the rod, there would be no attraction or repulsion between the rod end A and the negatively charged ball. This is because a charged particle or conductor has no attraction or repulsion to a neutral particle or conductor.
When a mercury thermometer is heated, the mercury expands and rises in the thin tube of glass. What does this indicate about the relative rates of expansion for mercury and glass
Answer:
This means that mercury has a higher or faster expansion rate than glass
Explanation:
This is because When a container expands, the reservoir in the glass expands at the same rate as the glass. Thus, if there is something in a glass and both expand at the same rate, they have no change - but if the contents expand faster, they will fill the container to a higher level, and if the contents expand slower, they will fill the container to a lower level (relative to the new size of the container).

If the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave is in the +x-direction and the electric field of the wave is in the +y-direction, the wave is traveling in the
Answer:
The wave is travelling in the ±z-axis direction.
Explanation:
An electromagnetic wave has an oscillating magnetic and electric field. The electric and magnetic field both oscillate perpendicularly one to the other, and the wave travels perpendicularly to the direction of oscillation of the electric and magnetic field.
In this case, if the magnetic field is in the +x-axis direction, and the electric field is in the +y-axis direction, we can say with all assurance that the wave will be travelling in the ±z-axis direction.
