Answer:
The answer to the question is
The distance d, which locates the point where the light strikes the bottom is 29.345 m from the spotlight.
Explanation:
To solve the question we note that Snell's law states that
The product of the incident index and the sine of the angle of incident is equal to the product of the refractive index and the sine of the angle of refraction
n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂
y = 2.2 m and strikes at x = 8.5 m, therefore tanθ₁ = 2.2/8.5 = 0.259 and
θ₁ = 14.511 °
n₁ = 1.0003 = refractive index of air
n₂ = 1.33 = refractive index of water
Therefore sinθ₂ =
=
= 0.1885 and θ₂ = 10.86 °
Since the water depth is 4.0 m we have tanθ₂ =
or x₂ =
=
= 20.845 m
d = x₂ + 8.5 = 20.845 m + 8.5 m = 29.345 m.
Answer:
Velocity
Explanation:
Objects in motion usually have a speed which is scalar or velocity which is a vector.
A scalar quantity is one with magnitude but has no directional attribute.
A vector quantity is one with both magnitude and directional attribute.
Speed is a scalar quantity that describes the magnitude of motion a body accrues.
Velocity is a vector quantity that describes both the magnitude of motion and the direction of motion in a body.
-- The lenses of eyeglasses work because of refraction.
-- A pencil standing in a half-glass of water looks broken because of refraction.
-- The lenses and mirrors in telescopes and microscopes work because of refraction.
-- When the sun is setting and it looks squashed ... shorter and wider than a true circle ... that's caused by refraction of the sunlight through Earth's atmosphere.
