2. What value did you calculate for the index of refraction of the acrylic block in Part 2? How does your value compare to the a

ccepted value of 1.50? Calculate the percentage error. Different materials have distinct indexes of refraction. Explain how you might identify a material based on experiments like this one. Mention at least one of the difficulties in identifying materials based on their indexes of refraction.

The percentage error in calculated value of the refractive index of acrylic block is calculated using the formula: (true value - calculated value/true value) × 100%.

<h3>What is refractive index of a refracting medium?</h3>

The refractive index of a medium is the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence on the medium and the sine of the angle of refraction.

  • Refractive index = sin i/sin r

where;

  • i is the angle of incidence
  • r is angle of refraction.

The refractive index of a medium increases with density of the medium.

To determine the percentage error in determining the refractive index of a medium, the following formula is used:

  • Percent error = error/true value × 100%

Therefore, the percentage error in calculated value of the refractive index of acrylic block is the ratio of the error and true value multiplied by 100%.

How does gravity affect balanced/unbalanced forces?
viva [34]

Answer:

The force of gravity pulling downward and the force of the table pushing upwards on the book are of equal magnitude and opposite directions. These two forces balance each other. Yet there is no force present to balance the force of friction. ... Unbalanced forces cause accelerations.

Explain the Series and parallel combinations of resistors with the help of its equation.
Anna71 [15]
In series combination, resister are connected end to end and current has a single path through the circuit but the potential difference varies across each resistor. Thus we can write as,
V = V1 + V2 + V3
according to Ohm's law V = IR So,
V1 = I R1, V2 = I R2, V3 = I R3
V = I R1 + I R2 + I R3
V = I(R1+R2+R3)
V =IRe
All the individual resistances become equal to the equivalent resistance.
or Re = R1 + R2 + R3......Rn
In parallel combination, each resistor'sone is connected to the positive terminal while the other end is connected to a negative terminal. The potential difference across each resistance is the same and the current passing through them is different.
V = V1 =V2=V3
I = I1+ I2+I3
Current throught each resistor will be:
I1= V/R1 , I2 = V/R2 = I3 = V/R3
I = V (1/R1+ 1/R2+1/R3)
In case of equivalent resistance I=V/Re
V/Re = V (1/R1+ 1/R2+1/R3)
So the equivalnet resistance is the sum of all resistances
1/Re = 1/R1+ 1/R2+1/R3

kap26 [50]
One of the common source is C. <span>Spraying crop fields with pesticides
After spraying the crops with pesticides, the waste will fall and absorbed by the ground.
This will contaminate all substance that exists (nutrients that needed by the plants)  in that ground and make that area became toxic for years.</span>

Having just enough weight to achieve all three states of buoyancy with only minor adjustments in the water is the definition of:
eduard

Answer:

Proper weighting

Explanation:

Proper weighing involves the condition of a scuba diver that is fully geared having a near empty tank and the BCD emptied with a held breadth is expected to float at eye level

The fundamental of adequate or good buoyancy of a scuba diver is to ensure proper weighting when diving, With proper weighting, there is more control for the diver when a safety stop is required. There is less need to carry excess weight that increases drag and gas consumption.
