Answer:
n = 1.76
Explanation:
According to the rule of ( n1 sin theta1 = n2 sin theta2 )
we know both angles so we insert them to the law and apply n1 = 1
so 1/2 = n2 sin 62 and we get the final answer
Since we know that
Gravitational potential energy = mass × height ×gravity
then
GPE = 1.5 kg x 0.500 m x 9.8m/s^2
therefore
GPE = 7.35 J
