Given:
refractive index: diamond = 2.42 ; air = 1

90° should have been provided in the problem. I encountered similar problem before. 

Using Snell's Law: n1*sin(a) = n2*sin(b)
where:
n1 and n2 are the refractive indexes
sin(a) and sin(b) are the corresponding angles.

n1 = 2.42
n2 = 1.00
b = 90°

n1 * sin(a) = n2 * sin(b)
2.42 * sin(a) = 1 * 1
2.42 * sin(a) = 1
sin(a) = 1 / 2.42
sin(a) = 24.4°  Choice B.

A block of height 120mm is placed on top of another block with a height of 1.50 m. What is the height of the two blocks together
pav-90 [236]
We will first convert all units to meters and then solve the problem.
We are given that:
1000 mm = 1 m
120 mm = ?? meters
using cross multiplication:
120 mm = (120*1) / 1000 = 0.12 m

Now, when the two objects are placed over each other, their total height is the result of summation of both heights, therefore:
total height = 0.12 + 1.5 = 1.62 m

Based on the above calculations, the correct choice is:
<span>b) 1.62 m </span>

A water wave traves with a length of 10 meters and a frequency of 30 hertz, what is the velocity of the wave?
UNO [17]

Answer: 300 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

length of water wave (λ) = 10 metres

Frequency of water wave (F) = 30 Hertz

Velocity of water wave (V) = ?

The velocity of a wave is the distance covered by the wave in one second. It is measured in metre per second, and represented by the symbol V. It is related to frequency and wave length by the formula: V = F λ

V = 30 Hertz x 10 metres

V = 300 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the water wave is 300 m/s

If you had a known sample of a mineral whose density was 7.1 grams/ml and its volume was 15 ml. What is the mass of the mineral.
kow [346]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 106.5 g</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume = 15 mL

density = 7.1 g/mL

We have

mass = 7.1 × 15

We have the final answer as

<h3>106.5 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

A 59.7 g piece of metal that had been submerged in boiling water was quickly transferred into 60.0 mL of water initially at 22.0
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

s = 382.45 J/kg C

Explanation:

Here by energy equivalence we can say that energy given by the metal piece is same as the energy absorbed by the water

so here we have

m_1s_2\Delta T_1 = m_2s_2 \Delta T_2

here we know that

m_1 = 60 mL = 0.060 kg

s_1 = 4186 J/kg C

\Delta T_1 = 28.5 - 22

m_2 = 59.7 g = 0.0597 kg

\Delta T_2 = 100 - 28.5

0.060(4186)(28.5 - 22) = (0.0597)(s)(100 - 28.5)

1632.54 = 4.27 s

s = 382.45 J/kg C
