CR < CY < CB

<h3>Which factors affect the critical angle for a given pair of media?</h3>

The factors which affect the critical angle are

(a) The colour (or wavelength) of light

(b) The temperature

(i) Effect of colour of light: The critical angle for a pair of media is less for the violet light and more for the red light. Thus the critical angle increases with the increase in wavelength of light.

(ii) Effect of temperature: The critical angle increases with increase in temperature because on increasing temperature of medium, its refractive index decreases.

According to the question,

μ 1 sinCR =1

μ 2 sinCY =1

μ 3 sinCB =1

μ 1 > μ 2 and μ 2 > μ 3

⟹μ 1 > μ 2 > μ 3

CR < CY < CB

Thus,

The critical angle increases with the increase in wavelength of light.

In the high jump, the kinetic energy of an athlete is transformed into gravitational potential energy without the aid of a pole.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

6.0 m/s

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy (potential, PE, + kinetic, KE) of the athlete must be conserved.

Therefore, we can write:

$KE_i+PE_i =KE_f+PE_f$

$\frac{1}{2}mu^2+0=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh$

where:

m is the mass of the athlete

u is the initial speed of the athlete (at the bottom)

0 is the initial potential energy of the athlete (at the bottom)

v = 0.80 m/s is the final speed of the athlete (at the top)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 1.80 m is the final height of the athlete (at the top)

Solving the equation for u, we find the initial speed at which the athlete must jump:

$u=\sqrt{v^2+2gh}=\sqrt{0.80^2+2(9.8)(1.80)}=6.0 m/s$

How would you obtain a mean value for the specific heat<br> capacity of a material?

lidiya [134]

The heat capacity and the specific heat are related by C=cm or c=C/m. The mass m, specific heat c, change in temperature ΔT, and heat added (or subtracted) Q are related by the equation: Q=mcΔT. Values of specific heat are dependent on the properties and phase of a given substance.
