Model each as having 25 “bins" for thermal energy. At the start, A has 7 "packets" of thermal energy and B has three as shown schematically in the figure at the right. Assume that only one packet of energy can go in each bin and that the energy packets are indistinguishable. Do 1. How many microstates are there for A initially? For B? 2.

The lens produces a sharp image of the object on the screen. On the diagram, draw two principal rays from the top of the object (i.e. tip of the pencil) to the screen that will allow you to locate both focal points of the lens, and label these points on the diagram. Explain the reasoning used to determine the answer. On the diagram of the previous question, it is known that the distance between the lens and the object is twice the distance between the lens and the screen. It is also found that by moving the object closer to the lens by 12 cm, the lens produces a lateral magnification of –1 (of course the screen is also moved in the process). Compute the focal length of the lens in cm. Please show workarrow_forward
- Show transcribed image text When a light ray A strikes the interface of mediums 1 and 2, there are two phenomena; one part of the incident ray is reflecting (20%) and second part of the incident ray is refructing (80%). See Figure 1 below. Given your responses to the following questions. Indicate the angles of incidence and refraction on figure 1. Compare both angles. Explain it. Which medium has the higher index of refraction? Give your reasoning. Which medium can be called "optically more dense" and which medium can be called "optically less dense"? Explain. In which medium is the light speed is greater and in which medium the light speed is less? Explainarrow_forwardConsider a ray diagram below that depicts familiar 4 principal rays that allow us to find the image of an object as shown. However, there are many other rays that will leave the tip of the object. Consider, for example, ray No. 5 that gets reflected from a mirror at point A. Where will the reflected ray No. 5 go? The reflected ray will pass through the tip of the image. The reflected ray will pass through the center of curvature. The reflected ray will pass through the focal point F. It's impossible to predict where the reflected ray will go.arrow_forwardA beam of light that consists of a mixture of red, green and violet light strikes a prism(surrounded by air) as shown.

- All answers require full explanations in complete sentences. The figure below shows a spherical bubble of CO2 gas in a liquid. The index of refraction of the liquid is 1.5 times larger than that of the gas. A light ray in the liquid is incident on the bubble as shown. The black dot identifies the center of the bubble. Draw, precisely, a reasonable ray transmitted into the bubble and explain how you why it looks as you have drawn it. determinedarrow_forwardA plane wave hits a piece of glass whose front surface is spherical and whose back surface is plane. The radius of the lens is 10 cm and the thickness of the glass is 1 cm at the center, as shown in the diagram at right. At time t1, the center of the plane wavefront has just reached the lens. A short time later, at time t2, the center of the wavefront will have passed completely through the glass, as shown. a) Find the time that elapses between t1 and t2, the time it takes the center of the wavefront to pass thorugh the middle 1 cm of the glass. b) Find the amount by which the edges of the wavefront at t2 will be ahead of the cetner of the wavefront, due to the fact that these edges passed through empty space, with no glass in their paths.arrow_forwardCal Culator is preforming experiments to determine the index of refraction of two unknown materials. Cal determines that the light follows the paths as shown on the diagrams below.
