"The drawing shows three layers of different materials, with air above and below the layers. The interfaces between the layers a

re parallel. The index of refraction of each layer is given in the drawing. Identical rays of light are sent into the layers, and light zigzags through each layer, reflecting from the top and bottom surfaces. The index of refraction for air is nair = 1.00. For each layer, the ray of light has an angle of incidence of 72.8˚. For the cases in which total internal refection is possible from either the top or bottom surface of a layer, determine the amount by which the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle."

Answer:

Angle of incidence that entered material b= 63.1°

Angle of incidence between a and b = 55.9°

Explanation: Using the formular:

n1sintheta1= n2sintheta2

The light ray which enters material B will be

1.4Sin72.8° = 1.5Sin theta

1.3373= 1.5Sintheta

sintheta = 1.3373/1.5

Sin^-1 0.8916 = Theta

63.1 = theta

When the ray hits interface with material a

1.5Sin63.1 = 1.3 Sin theta

1.3374 = 1.3Sin theta

Sintheta= 1.3374/1.3

Sin theta = 1.0877

There will be total reflection off the boundary b c because sin theta exceeded 1 in value.

The equation should be

1.4sin63.1 = 1.4 sin theta

Sin theta=72.8°

When the ray hits air-c boundary:

1.4sin72.8=1.00sin theta

Sin theta=1.3374/1 =1.3374

There is total reflection.

In material a,the ray will:

1.3sin72.8° = 1.00sin theta

There will be total reflection when the ray hits a-b boundary.

1.3sin72.8= 1.5sintheta

Sin theta= 1.2419/ 1.5

Sin theta =0.8279

Theta= Sin^-10.8279= 55.88°

When ray hits c-air boundary

1.4sin63.1= 1.00sintheta

1.2485= sin theta = Toal reflection.

Therefore when the ray of light pass through the layers of material a, b and c the boundary with air on top and bottom will be total reflection.

To be considered a source of water pollution, the source must include a chemical
forsale [732]

To be considered a source of water pollution, the source must include a chemical is false.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The water pollution may be caused either by chemicals or waste materials that doesn’t contain chemicals such as domestic wastes, organic compounds, heavy metals etc. The life on Earth mostly relies on water and air, and if these two gets polluted; the results will be dangerous.

Around 70% of the planet is covered with water and the present state of its purity is a matter of a serious thought. Looking over various pollutants, only chemical wastes are not responsible to pollute the water.

Instead, there is range of elements from plastic scraps to chemical wastes that comes from either the non-point sources or the point sources. There are organic waste materials, heavy metals, volcanic eruptions, Tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. are also responsible to contaminate water and affect the amphibians as well as humans.

The stopwatch used by a student to measure velocity of a pulse in a slinky was of least count 0.1 second. He stops the stopwatch
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Least count of the pulse stopwatch is given by

\Delta t = 0.1 s

this means each division of the stopwatch will measure 0.1 s of time

After 3 journeys from one end to other we can see that total time that is measured here is shown by the clock as 52nd division

So here total time is given as

Time = (Number of division) (Least count)

now we will have

T = 52 \times 0.1s

T = 5.2 s
