Homework Statement
What is the distance of closest approach between two protons if one is at rest
and the other approaches from really far away with an initial kinetic energy equal to the
average kinetic energy of a proton in a 107K gas? (b) What is the de Broglie
wavelength of a proton...
Homework Statement
3. Consider the reflection from the boundary between air and an absorbing medium. We
can use the usual Fresnel Equations, but with a complex refractive index for the
absorbing material. For various angles of incidence, use the real parts of the refractive
index to...
Okay, so I don't know how to proceed on this problem
I figure the randomly polarized light has 50% p-polarized and 50% s-polarized so I guess I would figure out the Brewster's Angle.
using
\tan(\Theta_{B})=\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}
which gives approximately 49 degrees
do I then use a Fresnel...
Can someone just please verify if this is the correct procedure?
so this is what I wrote on my paper
\frac{\tan(\Theta_{1}-\Theta_{2})}{\tan(\Theta_{1}+\Theta_{2})}
\Theta_{1}+\Theta_{2}=90 Degrees
Using Snell's Law then yields n_{1}\sin(\theta_{1})=n_{2}\sin(\theta_{2})
and then that...
Homework Statement
There's a block of glass and it has a refractive index n = 1.5 and it is put in water.
Randomly polarized light is incident from the water towards the glass at an angle of 53 degrees to the normal.
a) what % p-polarized (part) of the em wave (light) is reflected off...
Homework Statement
The problem about this is, which Fresnel Equation am I supposed to use?
Show that the brewster's angle is
\tan(\theta)=\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}
but which Fresnel equation do you use
Problem: Using the correct Fresnel Equation using (plugging in) the transmitted angle...
Homework Statement
A child decides to use a THICK (not thin) lens as a magnifying glass to look at a bug such that her eye is focusing on an image that is located at her near point, which you can assume to be 25 cm from the childs eye). The thick lens consists of radii of curvature R_1 = 5.0...
