Most of the bending of light in the eye is done at the air-cornea interface. By what angle (θcornea) is the beam of light shown

in Figure deviated as it passes from air to the cornea if the incident angle is θi = 23.6°? The refractive index of air is nair = 1.00, the refractive index of the cornea is ncornea = 1.38. Explain why θcornea< θi?

The angle (θcornea)  when light passes from air to cornea is 16.86°

<h3>What is Snell's law?</h3>

It states that the ratio of sine of angle of incidence and angle of refraction is equal to the refractive index of second medium to the  first medium.

sini/sinr =n₂ / n₁

Most of the bending of light in the eye is done at the air-cornea interface. The beam of light deviated as it passes from air to the cornea if the incident angle is θi = 23.6°.

Given the angle of incidence i = 23.6°, refractive index of air n₁ =1, refractive index of cornea n₂ = 1.38, then the angle of refraction at cornea is

sinr = sini x (n₁/n₂)

Plug the values, we get

sinr = sin23.6 x (1/1.38)

sinr = 16.86°

The angle of refraction is less than angle of incidence due to refraction.

Thus, the angle (θcornea)  when light passes from air to cornea is 16.86°

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Let the natural length of the spring = L

so

100 = k(40 - L)       (1)

200 = k(60 - L)       (2)

(2)/(1):   2 = (60 - L)/(40 - L)

60 - L = 2(40 - L)

60 - L = 80 - 2L

2L - L = 80 - 60

L = 20

Sub it into (1):

100 = k(40 - 20) = 20k

k = 100/20 = 5 N/in

Now

X = k(30 - L) = 5(30 - 20) = 50 N

__________ are combating competitive pressures by providing better value with private-label merchandise; adding new value-added
Neko [114]

Answer:

convinience store

Explanation:

convenience store are more like retail store providing everyday goods.

since this kind of store is usually small, maybe not as big as a department store, there is a growing number of such stores creating competitive pressures as such many are providing better value with private-label merchandise (more like re-branding or personalizing the products in the store)

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

ΔX = λ = 0.68 m

Explanation:

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency by the equation

          v = λ f

where the speed of sound is 340 m / s

          λ = v / f

          λ = 340/500

          λ = 0.68 m

this is the wavelength, it is the minimum distance for which the wave epitates its movement, which is equal to the distance between two consecutive compressions of the sound

          ΔX = λ = 0.68 m

10. A hockey puck with mass 0.3 kg is sliding along ice that can be considered frictionless. The puck’s velocity is 20 m/s when
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

d = \frac{v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{(20m/s)^2}{2* 3.43 m/s^2}=58.309m

Explanation:

For this case  we can use the second law of Newton given by:

\sum F = ma

The friction force on this case is defined as :

F_f = \mu_k N = \mu_k mg

Where N represent the normal force, \mu_k the kinetic friction coeffient and a the acceleration.

For this case we can assume that the only force is the friction force and we have:

F_f = ma

Replacing the friction force we got:

\mu_k mg = ma

We can cancel the mass and we have:

a = \mu_k g = 0.35 *9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}= 3.43 \frac{m}{s^2}

And now we can use the following kinematic formula in order to find the distance travelled:

v^2_f = v^2_i - 2ad

Assuming the final velocity is 0 we can find the distance like this:

d = \frac{v^2_i}{2a}= \frac{(20m/s)^2}{2* 3.43 m/s^2}=58.309m
