Chapter 34, Problem 26P

(a)

To determine

To draw: The map of an ocean beach on the eastern side of a landmass and show the contour lines of constant depth under water.

(b)

To determine

To show: The wave move nearly perpendicular to the shore line when they reach the beach.

(c)

To determine

To draw: A map of a coastline with alternating bays and headlands as suggested in given figure and make a reasonable guess about the shape of contour lines of constant depth.

(d)

To determine

To show: The energy reaching the coast is concentrated at the headlands and has lower intensity in the bays.

The laws of refraction and reflection are the same for sound as for light. The speed of sound in air is 340 m/s and in water it is 1510 m/s. If a sound wave approaches a plane water surface at an angle of incidence of 12.0o, what is the angle of refraction? (Hint: Determine how velocities of a wave in a medium relate to Snell’s Law) The angle of refraction is how many degrees? (3 significant figures) Thank you.
The index of refraction of a glass rod is 1.48 at T = 20.0°C and varies linearly with temperature, with a coefficient of 2.50 x 10-5/C°. The coefficient of linear expansion of the glass is 5.00 x 10-6/C°. At 20.0°C the length of the rod is 3.00 cm. A Michelson interferometer has this glass rod in one arm, and the rod is being heated so that its temperature increases at a rate of 5.00 C°/min. The light source has wavelength λ = 589 nm, and the rod initially is at T = 20.0°C. How many fringes cross the field of view each minute?
A magnifying glass can focus sunlight enough to heat up paper or dry grass and start a fire. A magnifying glass with a diameter of 3.40 cm has a focal length of 6.80 cm. The mean distance of the Sun from Earth is 1.50 × 10¹1 m. The mean radius of the Sun is 6.957 × 108 m. If the intensity of the Sun falling on the magnifying glass is 0.850 kW/m², what is the intensity of the image of the Sun?
