Answer:
The answer to the question is
The distance d, which locates the point where the light strikes the bottom is 29.345 m from the spotlight.
Explanation:
To solve the question we note that Snell's law states that
The product of the incident index and the sine of the angle of incident is equal to the product of the refractive index and the sine of the angle of refraction
n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂
y = 2.2 m and strikes at x = 8.5 m, therefore tanθ₁ = 2.2/8.5 = 0.259 and
θ₁ = 14.511 °
n₁ = 1.0003 = refractive index of air
n₂ = 1.33 = refractive index of water
Therefore sinθ₂ = =
= 0.1885 and θ₂ = 10.86 °
Since the water depth is 4.0 m we have tanθ₂ = or x₂ =
=
= 20.845 m
d = x₂ + 8.5 = 20.845 m + 8.5 m = 29.345 m.
<u>Answer:</u>
For a. Neutrons and electrons also form an atom.
For b. The element is oxygen which is a non-metal and will form a negative ion while forming ionic bond.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- <u>For a:</u>
There are 3 subatomic particles which form an atom. These are neutrons, protons and electrons.
Neutrons carry no charge, protons carry positive charge and electrons carry negative charge. Neutrons and protons are present in nucleus and electrons revolve around the nucleus.
The energy which is present between neutrons and protons are nuclear energy and the energy which is present between electrons and protons are electrostatic energy.
- <u>For b:</u>
In an element, number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons or electrons. The element which has atomic number 8 is Oxygen.
The electronic configuration of this element is
This element requires only 2 electrons to form a stable electronic configuration. An element which gains electron is considered as a non-metal and forms a negative ion because number of electrons increases.
