Light traveling from water to a gemstone strikes the surface at an angle of 80.0º and has an angle of refraction of 15.2º . (a)

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

a

The the speed of light in the gemstone is $v= 0.599*10^8 m/s$

b

The unreasonable thing about this is that the speed of ligth in the gemstone is too low

the speed is 19% of the speed of light which is very low

c

One main unreasonable or inconsistent factor is that the assumption that the differnce between the angle of incidence and angle of refraction is very large

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of incidence $i = 80^o$

The angle of refraction $r = 15.2^o$

From Snell's law we have ,

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

Where $n_1$ is the refractive index of the first medium (water) with a constant value of $n_1 = 1..333$

$n_2$ is the refractive index of the second medium (gem stone)

$\theta_1$ is the angle between the beam and perpendicular surface of the first medium

$\theta_2$ is the angle between the beam an the perpendicular surface of the second medium

Making the $n_2$ the subject of the formula

$n_2 = n_1 \frac{sin \theta_1}{sin \theta_2}$

$= (1.333)(\frac{sin (80.0)}{sin 15.2} )$

$= 5.007$

Generally refractive index of a material is mathematically represented

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

Where c is the speed light

v is the speed of light observed in a medium

Making v the subject

$v = \frac{c}{n}$

substituting value for gem stone

$v = \frac{3.0*10^8}{5.007}$

$v= 0.599*10^8 m/s$

Please help me with physics ks3!! Sound waves and hearding (pic incl)

Nina [5.8K]

Your answers for a), b), and c) are correct. Good work !

d). The high noise levels in Technology and PE are more of
a concern to the teachers than to the students because the
students are only in there for 1 or 2 periods a day, but the
Technology and PE teachers are in there ALL day.

e). Mr. Jones can't hear as high frequency as Jenny can because
he is much older than Jenny is. Sadly, even without damage due to
loud noise, the ability to hear high frequencies does decrease with age.

f). The wooden surfaces in the gym cause the gym to be louder
than it would be if it had carpet on the floor. Carpet ... and soft
walls and ceilings ... absorb a lot of the sound that hits them.
But hard surfaces don't absorb much of the sound that hits them,
so it just keeps bouncing around until it finally fades away.

You can see this easily ... just go into the gym at your school, clap
your hands once, and notice how long you keep hearing the sound
after you clap.
