The index of the refraction is 0.898 and the index of the refraction is less than one which is unreasonable because the speed of the light can't be more than c.

<h3>What is refraction?</h3>

The phenomenon bending of a wave as it crosses from one medium to another is said to be refraction. The difference in density is the cause of the bending.

Refraction is a term that is used to describe the phenomenon of refraction."The change in direction of a wave traveling through one medium to another is known as refraction."

From the Snell's law:

nsinФ = n'sin∅

We have n' = 1.33, ∅ = 10.0°, Ф = 14.9°

nsin110.0° = 1.33×sin14.9°

n = 0.898

Because the speed of light cannot be greater than c, the index of refraction is less than one, which is illogical.

It is illogical to assume that the angle of refraction is excessively large in relation to the angle of incidence.

Thus, the index of the refraction is 0.898 and the index of the refraction is less than one which is unreasonable because the speed of the light can't be more than c.

One number is eight less than three times another number. If the sum of the numbers is 20, find the numbers.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

7 & 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

2nd number = 8 less than 3 times the other

2nd number = 3x - 8

Their sum = 20

X + 3x - 8 = 20

4x -8 = 20

Collect like terms

4x = 20+8

4x = 28

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 28/4

X = 7

First number = 7

2nd number = 3x - 8

= 3(7) - 8

= 21 -8

= 13.

Therefore the numbers are 7 and 13

Andreas93 [3]

3+3\sqrt[6]{x}~~ = ~~5\implies \stackrel{\textit{1st step,-3 to both sides}}{3\sqrt[6]{x}~~ = ~~2}\implies \sqrt[6]{x}=\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ (\sqrt[6]{x})^6=\left( \cfrac{2}{3} \right)^6\implies x=\cfrac{2^6}{3^6}\implies x=\cfrac{64}{729}
