<span>Rectangular prism boundary 1 = 2.57 Rectangular prism boundary 2 = 2.57 Triangular prism boundary 2 = 1.37 Pentagram prism boundary 2 = 1.44 Note: You may get different values if you measured the angle differently. Don't be surprised if you're a few degrees different from me. The key thing in this problem is to actually physically measure the angles. If you don't measure them, you can't calculate the answer. Snell's law is sin a1/sin a2 = n2/n1 where a1 = angle of incidence of ray before boundary a2 = angle of incidence of ray after boundary n1 = index of refraction of medium before boundary n2 = index of refraction of medium after boundary The angle of incidence is the angle between the ray and the perpendicular to the boundary. For the rectangle in the first figure, I measured the angle of incidence for the first boundary to be 45 degrees and 16 degrees for the first surface. And for the 2nd surface, I got measurements of 16 degrees and 45 degrees. So let's plug those values into the formula and see what happens. First boundary: sin a1/sin a2 = n2/n1 sin 45/sin 16 = n2/1.0 0.707106781/0.275637356 = n2/1.0 2.565351779 = n2/1.0 2.565351779 = n2 So the index of refraction is 2.57 Second boundary: sin 16/sin 45 = 1.0/n1 0.275637356/0.707106781 = 1.0/n1 0.389810087 = 1.0/n1 0.389810087*n1 = 1.0 n1 = 1.0/0.389810087 n1 = 2.565351779 And it's no surprise that also shows an index of refraction of 2.57 For the right triangle on the same figure, the entry is parallel to the surface normal, so there's no data on the index of refraction for that ray. But it exits the triangle and the measurements I get is 45 degrees for the ray prior to the boundary and 75 degrees for the ray after the boundary. Assuming n = 1.0 for air outside the triangle, we get sin 45/sin 75 = 1.0/n1 0.707106781/0.965925826 = 1.0/n1 0.732050808 = 1.0/n1 0.732050808*n1 = 1.0 n1 = 1.0/0.732050808 n1 = 1.366025404 And the index of refraction of the triangle is 1.37 For the pentagon: Second boundary. Incoming angle = 36 degrees Outgoing angle = 58 degrees So: sin a1/sin a2 = n2/n1 sin 36/sin 58 = 1.0/n1 0.587785252/0.848048096 = 1.0/n1 0.693103675 = 1.0/n1 0.693103675*n1 = 1.0 n1 = 1.0/0.693103675 n1 = 1.442785597</span>

Personal Statement
leonid [27]

Well, as it says, your first statement needs to explain what interests you about the program.

If you feel you need multiple paragraphs, let the first be an introduction, around 4 or 5 sentences. Include, possibly what pushed you to apply for this program, what you're looking forward to, and a reason for them to hire you. You can add a thesis statement of sorts if that helps (a short statement, usually one sentence, that summarizes the main point or claim of a paper). The first paragraph can be short, it doesn't need to be too in-depth. You can talk more about that later in your statement.

The body paragraphs must include your goals and extracurricular interests (what courses would you like to take and why?).

As it states, you must list your GPA, what interests you about the Major and/or Minor/Workshop courses, and what you can contribute (you can build off of what you said in your first paragraph here).

It is very important to share additional details you think are important, such as accomplishments you are proud of, for example.

A conclusion would be nice, a short and sweet wrap-up of your overall statement (not too long).

Remember, the name of the game is to sound confident and prove to them that you are in fact a good fit for the program! Good luck! Stay focused ^^

What is the decay factor in the exponential decay function y=a (1-r) t
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

in this form, the "-r" would cause the result to decrease

I assume that the answer is "r"

if r = .1 (10 %) then 1-.1 = .9

if you have 100 items then y = 100(.9)^1 = 90

the total decreased by 10% ... y = 100(.9)^2 after 2 time periods

After distributing, which equation is equivalent to -4(3x + 2) = 10a.-12x -8 = 10b.-12x + 8 = 10c.-12x -6 = 10d.-12x + 6 = 1
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Option A: -12x-8=10 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

-4 (3x+2) = 10

We will distribute the equation by multiplying the terms inside the brackets with -4.

Therefore,

-4*3x + 2*-4 = 10

-12x +(-8) = 10

-12x - 8 = 10

The equation -4 (3x+2) = 10 will become -12x-8=10 after distributing.

Hence,

Option A: -12x-8=10 is the correct answer.
