Answer:
refractive index of the unknown material is 1.33.
Explanation:
μ₁ = 1.21
incidence angle (i) = 41.9°
refraction angle (r) = 37.3°
Let us assume μ be the refractive index of the unknown material
according to snell's law of refraction.
μ₁ sin i = μ₂ sin r
1.21 × sin 41.9° = μ × sin 37.3°
μ = 1.33
hence the refractive index of the unknown material comes out top be 1.33
Answer:
The formation of a rainbow is more a demonstration of the wave-like behavior of light.
Explanation:
A rainbow is caused by the interaction of sunlight with atmospheric conditions. A rainbow formation results from the refraction and reflection of light due to changes in the light's wavelength direction. Naturally, light enters a water droplet, slowing down and bending as it goes from air to denser water in a refraction as if "bent." Then light reflects off the inside of the droplet, separating into its component wavelengths or colors. With light exiting from the droplet, a rainbow is formed.
The answer would be 981 newtons or 220.46 pounds.
Answer: 0.85 meters (with and without sigfigs)
Explanation: To find the wavelength, you just have to switch around the equation for wave speed: v (wave speed) = λ (wavelength)*f (frequency) so λ (wavelength) = v (wave speed)/f (frequency). You don't have the wave speed but you can calculate it. Since wave speed is measured in meters/second or m/s, you just have to divide the amount of meters you were given by the amount of seconds. You will get 340 m/s. Next, you have to plug the values into the equation: λ (wavelength) = 340 m/s (wave speed)/400 Hz (frequency). The answer is 0.85 meters (seconds cancel) and has the correct number of significant figures.
