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

A hockey player skates with an average speed of 8.25 m/s. The distance the player will travel in 5.60 s is __________ .
OverLord2011 [107]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

To find this value, you need to remember the speed formula:

3 = 6 / 2

Speed = distance ÷ time

Rearrange to make distance the subject:

Distance = speed * time

Simply plug these values into this:

5.6 * 8.25 = 46.2

<h3>So the player will travel 46.2 metres!</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

The uncertainty in the position of an electron along an x axis is given as 5 x 10-12 m. What is the least uncertainty in any sim
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The least uncertainty in the momentum component px is 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹.

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the uncertainty in the position of an electron (σx) and the uncertainty in its linear momentum (σpx) are complementary variables and are related through the following expression.

σx . σpx ≥ h/4π

where,

h is the Planck´s constant

If σx = 5 × 10⁻¹²m,

5 × 10⁻¹²m . σpx ≥ 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ kg.m².s⁻¹/4π

σpx ≥ 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹
