If you wanted to live where the chances of a destructive earthquake were small, would you pick a location near a fault zone, nea

r a mid ocean ridge, near a subduction zone, or on a volcanic island such as Hawaii? What are the relative risks of earthquakes at each of these locations?

Answer: A volcanic island arc like Hawaii.

Explanation: The Hawaiian island is the most safest place for the people to live in comparison to the other given options.

The plate tectonic movement generates energy due to collision, resulting in sudden release of energy, and seismic waves are produced that propagates and causes earthquake.

Due to the constant collision between the plates, different places at different time experiences earthquake. Near a fault region, earthquakes are very severe, and also near the mid oceanic ridge it is not possible for a person to live. The subduction zones are the region where a denser plate subducts beneath the other, and its impossible for life to exist there.

Thus the most safest place out of all the option is the volcanic islands where numerous people resides. for example, the Hawaiian and Stromboli.

Determine the index of refraction of glass that is struck by unpolarized light at 53.8 degrees and resulting in a fully polarize
nignag [31]

Answer:

The refractive index of glass, \mu_{g} = 1.367

Solution:

Brewster angle is the special case of incident angle that causes the reflected and refracted rays to be perpendicular to each other or that angle of incident which causes the complete polarization of the reflected ray.

To determine the refractive index of glass:

tan\theta_{P} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{\mu_{a}}                 (1)

where

\mu_{a} = refractive index of glass

\mu_{g} = refractive index of glass

Now, using eqn (1)

tan{53.8^{\circ}} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{1}

\mu_{g} = tan53.8^{\circ}

\mu_{g} = 1.367
