Light is incident normally on the short face of a 30∘−60∘−90∘ prism (Figure 1). A drop of liquid is placed on the hypotenuse of

the prism.
a) If the index of the prism is 1.50, find the maximum index that the liquid may have for the light to be totally reflected.

1.06 is the <u>maximum</u> refractive index that the liquid may have for the light to be totally reflected.

Only when a light source passes from a denser to a rarer medium can it completely reflect.

When the angle of incidence surpasses a specific critical value, specular reflection occurs in the more highly refractive of the two mediums at their interface, and this reflection is known as total reflection.

sin i_{c} = μ_{r} / μ_{d

From the diagram

Angle of incidence = 60°

sin60°  ≥ sini_{c} = μ_{r}/μ_{d}

μ_{r} ≤ μ_{d} sin60°

μ_{r} ≤ √1.5 × √3/2

   = 1.06

Hence, the maximum index that the liquid may have for the light to be totally reflected is 1.06

If m = 2,000, p = 2. 25, and y= 6,000, what is velocity?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The velocity is 6.75



The velocity in the equation stated above can be calculated as follows

m= 2,000
p= 2.25

y= 6000

velocity= 2.25 × 6000/ 2000
= 13500/2000
= 6.75


Hence the velocity is 6.75

​Hooke's Law. The distance d when a spring is stretched by a hanging object varies directly as the weight w of the object. If th
nadezda [96]

Answer:

distance when the weight is 8 ​kg is 26.66 cm

Explanation:

given data

distance d2 = 10 cm

weight w2 = 3 ​kg

weight w1 = 8 kg

to find out

distance when the weight is 8 ​kg

solution

we consider here distance d1 when weight is 8 kg

so equation will be

d1/d2 = w1/w2

d/10 = 8/ 3

so d = 8/3 × 10

so d = 26.66

distance when the weight is 8 ​kg is 26.66 cm
