Answer:

E. greater than the angle of incidence.

Explanation:

Snell's law states that:

n_i sin \theta_i = n_r sin \theta_r (1)

where

n_i, n_r are the refractive index of the first and second medium

\theta_i, \theta_r are the angle of incidence and refraction, respectively

For light moving from water to air, we have:

n_i = 1.33 (index of refraction of water)

n_r = 1.00 (index of refraction of air)

Substituting into (1) and re-arranging the equation, we get

\sin \theta_r = \frac{n_i}{n_r} sin \theta_i = 1.33 sin \theta_i

which means that

\theta_r > \theta_i

so, the correct answer is

E. greater than the angle of incidence.

Light enters air from water. The angle of refraction will be

  • A. less than the angle of incidence.
  • B. greater than or equal to the angle of incidence.
  • C. less than or equal to the angle of incidence.
  • D. equal to the angle of incidence.
  • E. greater than the angle of incidence.
<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Refractive Index is the value that calculated from the speed of light ratio in a vacuum to in a second medium of greater density. The refractive index variable is symbolized by the letter n or n' in descriptive text and mathematical equations.

Light enters air from water, the angle of refraction will be greater than the angle of incidence.

When light passed from a less dense to a more dense substance for example passing from air into water, the light is refracted towards the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular (forming a 90 degree angle) to the boundary between the two substances.

Hope it helps!

A girl and boy pull in opposite directions on a stuffed animal. The girl exerts a force of 3.5 N. The mass of the stuffed animal
givi [52]
I'm gonna have to assume the girl is on the right side and boy on left.
The net force is the sum of all forces on an object (includes negatives).
Let's say the force of the boy is variable <em>b</em>.  Use the formula F = ma.

<em>b </em>+ 3.5 = 0.2(2.5)

This is now simple algebra.  Solve to get that <em />the boty is exerting a force of -3N to the left.
