In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 560 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 17.2 ns . When a slab of glass with a thickness of 0.810 m is placed in the light beam, with the beam incident along the normal to the parallel faces of the slab, it takes the light a time of 20.8 ns to travel from the laser to the photocell. Required:
What is the wavelength of the light in the glass?

Moon effect. some people believe that the moon controls their activities. if the moon moves from being directly on the opposite side of earth from you to being directly overhead, by what percentage does (a) the moon's gravitational pull on you increase and (b) your weight (as measured on a scale) decrease? assume that the earth–moon (center-to-center) distance is 3.82 × 10^8 m, earth's radius is 6.37 × 10^6 m, moon's mass is 7.36 × 10^22 kg, and earth's mass is 5.98 × 10^24 kg.

Oxygen undergoes an isentropic expansion from 120 degree c and 280 kpa absolute to 140 kpa absolute. determine the final temperature of the oxygen and the amount of work per kg of o_2 produced in the process if it is adiabatic.

As a pendulum bob swings back and forth several times, the maximum height it reaches becomes less and less. this is because more and more of the pendulum bob's energy is being transformed into a. heat energy b. kinetic energy c. potential energy d. kinetic energy and potential energy
