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.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

144 children and 170 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

make 2 equations

make :

the children as the regarded as the variable : x

the adults are the regarded as the variable  : y

<em>5x + 6 y = 1740</em>

<em>x + y = 314</em>

<h3><u>solve this by the method of elimination </u></h3>

5x + 6y = 1740

5(x + y = 314)

= 5x + 5y = 1570

5x + 6y = 1740

5x + 5y = 1570

the 5x is cancelled out

6y - 5y = 1740 - 1570

y = 170

now replace the value of y in the eqaution

5x + 6 (170) = 1740

5x =720

x = 144

hence they were 144 children and 170 adults

.A square field has a side 30m. Find the cost of fencing its four sides at Rs. 10 per metre​
Ratling [72]

Answer:

1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

So first we need to find the perimeter

P=30+30+30+30\\\\P=120

so it costs 10 per meter

120\times 10=1,200
