Answer:

Solution

Verified by Toppr

(a) The labelled diagram is shown.

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. Refractive index of diamond is the ratio of the speed of light in air to the speed of light in diamond.i.e.,

μ=

Speedoflightindiamond

Speedoflightinair

and, the ratio of these velocities is 2.42. i.e., This means that the speed of light in diamond will reduce by a factor of 2.42 as compared to its speed in air. In other words, the speed of light in diamond is

1/2.42

times the speed of light in vacuum.

Explanation:

a) Draw and label the diagram given :

(i) Incident ray

(ii) Refracted ray

(iii) Emergent ray

(iv) Angle of reflection

(v) Angle of deviation

(v) Angle of emergence

(b) The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. What is the meaning of this statement in relation to speed of light?

If you're driving towards the sun late in the afternoon, you can reduce the glare from the road by wearing sunglasses that permi

zepelin [54]

The correct option is B.
Sunglasses are designed to block polarized light. If you are driving toward the sun, most of the sun's glare will be coming to you horizontally, thus, the best sunglasses to wear is the one, that will block the horizontal glare and allow only the vertical glare to pass through.

When water waves meet, they can combine to form new waves. In constructive waves, a ________ amplitude wave is formed. In destru

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed. (option A)

Explanation:

Interference is called the superposition or sum of two or more waves. Depending mainly on the wavelengths, amplitudes and the relative distance between them, there are two types of interference: constructive or destructive.

Constructive interference occurs when there are two waves of identical or similar frequency (both have motions equal to an even number of similar wavelengths) and overlap the peak of one with the peak of the other. These effects add together and make a wave of greater amplitude. All of this is possible because the waves were in the same phase in the beginning (in the same position).

Destructive interference occurs in the opposite case to constructive. When the crest of one wave overlaps the valley of the other, they cancel out since they are in different phases when they overlap (they were in different positions). That is, as in the case of constructive waves they were added, in the case of destructive waves they cancel out (subtract).

So, In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed.
