Refraction is said to occur when there is a change in the speed of light.

<h3>What is the angle of refraction?</h3>

We know that refraction is said to occur when there is a change in the speed of light as it travels form one medium to another.

Given that the refractive index of the rectangular glass block is  1.5. The angle of refraction can be obtained by the use of the Snell's law;

n = sin i /sinr

n = refractive index

sini = angle of incidence

sin r = angle of refraction

sinr = sini/n

sinr = sin 45/1.5

= 0.471

r = 28 degrees

b) Now;

sinr =sin  45/1.2

sinr = 0.589

r = 36 degrees

For the glass

sinr = sin 36/1.5

sin r = 0.392

r = 23 degrees

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

E = 3544.44 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

- charge Q = 2.2 *10^-6 C

- Length L = 1.3 m

Find:

The Electric Field strength E @ a  = 1.8 m

Solution:

- The differential electric field dE due to infinitesimal charge dq can be considered as a point charge at a distance of r is given by:

                                  dE = k*dq / r^2

- The charge Q is spread over entire length L, hence:

                                  dq = (Q / L ) * dx

-The resulting dE:

                                 dE = (k*Q/L)*(dx / r^2)

- point P lies on the x- axis with distance (x+a) from differential charge from:

                                 dE = (k*Q/L)*(dx / (x+a)^2)  

- Integrate dE over length 0 to L

                                 E = (-k*Q/L)*( 1 / (x+a) )

                                 E =  (-k*Q/L)* (1 / a - 1 / (L+a))

                                 E =  (-k*Q/L)* (L / a(L+a))

                                 E = (k*Q / a(L+a))

- Evaluate E @ a = 1.8 m

                                 E =(8.99*10^9 * 2.2*10^-6 / 1.8*(1.3+1.8))

                                 E = 3544.44 N/C

How does enormous energy get released from the sun​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

By nuclear fission

Explanation:

<u>The sun generates enormous energy through the process of nuclear fusion.</u>

<em>The core or the innermost part of the sun is characterized by high temperature and pressure. These two factors cause the separation of nuclei from electrons and the fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form a  helium atom. </em>

During the fusion process, energy is released.
