A light ray moving from oil (n=1.38) into an unknown material. If the light is incident at 35 and refracts at 23, what is the in

The index of refraction of the unknown material in which a ray of light is incident at 35° and refracted at 23° is 2.03

<h3>Snell's law</h3>

index of refraction (n) = Sine i / Sine r

n = Sine i / Sine r

Where

  • i is the angle of incidence
  • r is the angle of refraction
<h3>How to determine the refractive index </h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Index of refraction of oil (nₒ) = 1.38
  • Angle of incidence (i) = 35°
  • Angle of refraction (r) = 23°
  • Index of refraction of unknown material (nᵣ) =?

nₒSine i = nᵣSine r

1.38 × Sine 35 = nᵣ × Sine 23

Divide both side by Sine 23

nᵣ = (1.38 × Sine 35) / Sine 23

nᵣ = 2.03

Thus, the index of refraction of the unknown material is 2.03

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Hi there!

We can use the equation:

d = x₀ + vt, where:

x₀ = initial distance from the reference point

v = velocity (m/s)

t = time (sec)

Plug in the given values:

d = 248 + 5(49)

d = 493m

a) For a given material, would you expect the surface energy to be greater than, the same as, or less than the grain boundary en
sergejj [24]

Answer / Explanation:

To properly answer this question, let us define what a grain boundary is:

A grain boundary is the interface between multiple grains or crystals in a poly-crystalline material. They could also be refereed to as defects in the crystal structure and tend to decrease the electrical and thermal conductivity of structures.

Now, if we refer back to the question asked,

(a) The surface energy is grater than the grain boundary energy because surface atom have fewer bonds than atom along a grain boundary.

Consequentially, the lower the number of bonds formed, the higher the energy

(b) A higher angle grain boundary has higher misalignment and hence greater disruption of bonds (lesser number of bonds)  than a small angle grain boundary. Therefore, a high angle grain boundary has higher energy.

Explaining how caring capacity influences the number of organisms.
Gelneren [198K]
An ecosystem can only sustain so many organisms. That limit would be its <span>carrying capacity. If the population goes above that number then other factors will cause the population to crash and then rebound to a constant level.  </span>

A measurement of density (mass/volume) is performed by measuring the mass of a sample of a rough cubic piece of metal on a balan
koban [17]

Answer:

Random errorrs

1) Variations in the level of the eye when we measure the dimensions of the cubic piece using the metric rule.

2) Possible vibrations or disbalance when we measure the mass of the of the cylinder.

Systematic errors

3) Wrong calibration for the balance and that represent a measurement wrong

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Random error represent an statistical error associated to the effect random in the experiment.

Systematic error is a "repeatable error associated with faulty equipment or a flawed experiment design", so is an error non controlled.

Solution to the problem

So as we can see we have two possible types of errors : random and systematic errors. For this stuation the list of 3 errors required are:

Random errors

1) Variations in the level of the eye when we measure the dimensions of the cubic piece using the metric rule.

2) Possible vibrations or disbalance when we measure the mass of the of the cylinder.

Systematic errors

3) Wrong calibration for the balance and that represent a measurement wrong
