In example 18. 4 of the text, the deflection angle of the laser beam as it exits the prism is 22. 6º. If the prism had been made
1 answer:
The deflection angle is 37.29º if the prism was made of polystyrene plastic.
What is a laser beam?
Laser beam is a light beam propagating dominantly in one direction.
It is a beam of radiation produced from a laser.
Here given that,
refraction index of glass, n1= 1.52
refraction index of polystyrene plastic, n2 = 1.59
deflection angle, B = 22.6º
For the second surface,
B = 45º - 22.6º
B = 22.40º
Now from the formula of Snell's law:
n1 sinФ = n2 sin B
sin B / sinФ = n1 / n2
sinФ = (sin 22.40º) * ( 1/ 1.59)
Ф = 37.29º
Hence,
The deflection angle is 37.29º if the prism was made of polystyrene plastic.

Answer:
option (B)
Explanation:
Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to the longitudinal strain.
Its unit is N/m².
The formula for the Young's modulus is given by
where, F is the force applied on a rod, L is the initial length of the rod, ΔL is the change in length of the rod as the force is applied, A is the area of crossection of the rod.
It is the property of material of solid. So, when the 10 wires are co joined together to form a new wire of length 10 L, the material remains same so the young' modulus remains same.
