Answer:

a) n_{12}=0.918

b) n_2=1.349

c) v_1=2.041\times 10^{8}\ m.s^{-1}

d) v_2=2.223\times 10^8\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • refractive index of liquid medium 1 (with respect to air), n_1=1.47
  • angle of incidence in medium 1, \theta_1=59^{\circ}
  • angle of refraction in medium 2, \theta_2=69^{\circ}

(a)

<em>According to Snell's Law:</em>

<u>refractive index of medium 2 with respect to medium 1:</u>

n_{12}=\frac{sin\ \theta_1}{sin\ \theta_2}

n_{12}=\frac{sin\ 59^{\circ}}{sin\ 69^{\circ}}

n_{12}=0.918

(c)

Now the other form of Snell's law:

n =\frac{c}{v} ..............................(2)

where:

c = speed of light in air

n = refractive index of the medium with respect to air

v = speed of light in medium

<u>Using eq. (2) for medium 1:</u>

1.47=\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{v_1}

v_1=2.041\times 10^{8}\ m.s^{-1}

(d)

<u>Using eq. (2) for medium 2:</u>

n{12}=\frac{v_1}{v_2}

0.918 =\frac{2.041\times 10^{8}}{v_2}

v_2=2.223\times 10^8\ m.s^{-1}

(b)

<u>Now, refractive index of the medium 2 with respect to air</u>

n_2=\frac{3\times 10^8}{2.223\times 10^8}

n_2=1.349

Answer:

(a) n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}

(b) n_{2} = 1.349

(c) v_{1} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s

(d) v_{2} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Refractive index of medium 1, n_{1} = 1.47

Angle of refraction for medium 1, \theta_{1} = 59^{\circ}

Angle of refraction for medium 2, \theta_{1} = 69^{\circ}

Now,

(a) The expression for the refractive index of medium 2 is given by using Snell's law:

n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}

where

n_{2} = Refractive Index of medium 2

Now,

n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}

(b) The refractive index of medium 2 can be calculated by using the expression in part (a) as:

n_{2} = \frac{1.47\times sin59^{\circ}}{sin69^{\circ}}

n_{2} = 1.349

(c) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 1:

We know that:

Refractive\ index,\ n = \frac{Speed\ of\ light\ in vacuum,\ c}{Speed\ of\ light\ in\ medium,\ v}

Thus for medium 1

n_{1} = \frac{c}{v_{1}

v_{1} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.47} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s

(d) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 2:

For medium 2:

n_{2} = \frac{c}{v_{2}

v_{2} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.349} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s

An industrial firm has two electrical loads connected in parallel across the power source. Power is supplied to the firm at 4000
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

I = 27.65A < 40.59°

PowerFactor = 0.76

Explanation:

Current on the heating load is:

I1 = 30KW / 4KV = 7.5A < 0°

Current on the inductive load:

I2 = (150KVA*0.6) /4KV = 22.5A  with an angle of acos(0.6)=53.1°

The sum of both currents is:

It = I1 + I2 = 7.5<0° + 22.5<53.1° = 27.65<40.59°

Now, the power factor will be:

pf = cos (40.59°) = 0.76
