AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a request for assistance with various physics problems, including topics like wave frequency, index of refraction, light intensity, and angles of refraction. The user provides some answers but expresses uncertainty, particularly with problems involving luminous flux and illuminance. Participants emphasize the importance of showing work to facilitate learning rather than simply providing answers. The user seeks help due to a lack of support from their teacher. Overall, the thread highlights the challenges of understanding physics concepts and the need for collaborative problem-solving.

15. What is the wavelength of a wave with a frequency of 100.4 MHz?

16. A substance allows light to travel through it with a velocity of 2.45 x10^8 m/s. What is the substances index of refraction?

17. What is the intensity of a light that has a lumnious flux of 750 lumens?

18. What is the illuminance provided by a light with a luminous flux of 1120 lm when it is 2.3 meters away?

19. What would the angle of refraction be if a light ray starts in a diamond and goes into the air it has an angle of incidence of 9 degrees.

20. What is the critical angle of light going from quartz to air?

22. What is the illuminance of a light when it is 4.6 m away from a light with an intensity of 78 candle power?

thanks for any help I don't know what I am doing

bump...can someone please help me out with this? It's for a grade and I am not totally sure what I'm doing. My teacher doesn't help either.
 
please...anyone at all?
 
your asking us to do your homework. show us what you have and we'll help you.
 
Here's my answers:

#15: .335 m
#16: 1.22
#17: I was not sure how to do this one.
#18: I was also not sure how to do this one.
#19: 24.44 degrees
#20: 40.37 degrees
#22. 3.6
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
