Light attempts to move from cubic zirconia (n=1.61) to air. In a nearby experiment, light is attempting to move from cubic zirconia to water. Finally, in a third trial, light is attempting to move from cubic zirconia to a material with an index of refraction of 1.62. For the angles of refraction (θcz->air , θcz->water , θcz->material ) use greater than symbols (>) to rank these three angles. (e.g. θ2 > θ2' > θ2" ) [Remember, the greater the refraction, the smaller the refracted angle. So the angle indicating the greatest refraction (i.e. the smallest angle) will be on the right.]

A circular wire loop of radius 1.4 cm is placed in a magnetic field of magnitude 2.3 T. If the magnetic field goes to zero in a time of 5 s, what is the magnitude of the current induced in the loop? The wire has a diameter of 2 mm, and the resistivity of copper is 1.7 x 10-8 Ohm-m.

Photosynthesis relies on assemblies of molecules that work in tandem to produce energy from water and light. One set of molecules absorbs light primarily in the red and another absorbs light primarily in the blue. Draw the energy level diagram for each and draw the absorption profile versus photon energy. Explain why green leaves turn yellow in the Fall.

A racing bus rounds a corner on a banked bus-racing track. The radius of curvature of the turn is R and the curve is banked with a grade G. If the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is μ, determine the range of speeds at which the bus can take the turn without slipping off the road.

Photolithograph or e-beam lithography is known as a top-down approach to nanostructures while chemical synthesis is known as a bottom-up approach to nanostructures. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of these two different approaches in terms of a. cost, b. capital investment, c. control, d. precision, e. volume of production, and f. diversity of materials.

A 200 g hockey puck is launched up a metal ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. The coefficients
of static and kinetic friction between the hockey puck and the metal ramp are #5 = 0.40 and pk =

0.30, respectively. The puck's initial speed is 14.9 m/s. What speed does it have when it slides back
down to its starting point?
