A light ray travelling from diamond into air has an angle of refraction of 56. A piece of glass is then placed right next to the diamond. a. How will the angle of refraction change?
b. Explain your above answer using a ray diagram, considering any changes to the speed of light.

Consider the particle-in-a-box problem in 1d. a particle with mass m is confined to move freely between two hard walls situated at x = 0 and x = l. the potential energy function is given as (a) describe the boundary conditions that must be satisfied by the wavefunctions ψ(x) (such as energy eigenfunctions). (b) solve the schr¨odinger’s equation and by using the boundary conditions of part (a) find all energy eigenfunctions, ψn(x), and the corresponding energies, en. (c) what are the allowed values of the quantum number n above? how did you decide on that? (d) what is the de broglie wavelength for the ground state? (e) sketch a plot of the lowest 3 levels’ wavefunctions (ψn(x) vs x). don’t forget to mark the positions of the walls on the graphs. (f) in a transition between the energy levels above, which transition produces the longest wavelength λ for the emitted photon? what is the corresponding wavele

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

When the magnetic domains in a material can be aligned, but eventually drift out of alignment, the material is
