You send a beam of light from a material with index of refraction 1.17 into an unknown material. In order to help identify this

material, you determine its index of refraction by measuring the angles of incidence and refraction for which you find the values 40.1 ° and 36.3 ° , respectively. What is the index of refraction of the unknown material?

Answer:

The index refraction of the unknown material is 1.08

Explanation:

Light has characteristics of a wave. When light travels or propagates through two media with different index of refraction, the light will bend or will change its speed. 

Using Snells' law which is stated mathematically as:

n1Sintheta1 = n2Sinthetha2

Given:

n1 = 1.17

Theta1 = 40.1° = angle of incidence

Theta2 = 36.3° = angle of refraction

n2 = unknown

Substituting into the equation

n1Sin40.1 = 1.17Sin36.3°

0.6441n1 = 0.6937

n1 = 0.6937/0.6441

n1 = 1.08

Answer:

1.09

Explanation:

From Snell's law, the refractive index of the unknown material is the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence in the unknown material to the sine of the angle of refraction in the unknown material.

n= sini/ sinr

i= 40.1°

r= 36.3°

n= sin40.1°/sin36.3°

n= 0.6441/0.5920

n= 1.09

When you changed from low to high power, how did the change affect the working distance of the lens?
Basile [38]

The working distance gets shorter as the magnification gets bigger. In order to focus, the high-power objective lens must be significantly nearer to the specimen than the low-power lens. Magnification is negatively correlated with working distance.

Magnification change The magnification of a specimen is increased by switching from low power to high power. The magnification of an image is determined by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the ocular lens, or eyepiece.

The geometry of the optical system connects the magnifying power, or how much the thing being observed seems expanded, and the field of view, or the size of the object that can be seen.

Which one of the following statements does not accurately describe vibrations?
Ivanshal [37]

This is an example of resonance - when one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into vibrational motion. The result of resonance is always a large vibration.

Answer D. Forced vibrations, such as those between a tuning fork and a large cabinet surface, result in a much lower sound than was produced by the original vibrating body Because this statement contridicts the above statement, it is not accurate
