Answer:

is reflected back into the region of higher index

Explanation:

Total internal reflection is a phenomenon that occurs when all the light passing from a region of higher index of refraction to a region of lower index is reflected back into the region of higher index.

According to Snell's law, refraction of ligth is described by the equation

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n1 is the refractive index of the first medium

n2 is the refractive index of the second medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence (in the first medium)

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction (in the second medium)

Let's now consider a situation in which

n_1 > n_2

so light is moving from a medium with higher index to a medium with lower index. We can re-write the equation as

sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1

Where \frac{n_1}{n_2} is a number greater than 1. This means that above a certain value of the angle of incidence \theta_1, the term on the right can become greater than 1. So this would mean

sin \theta_2 > 1

But this is not possible (the sine cannot be larger than 1), so no refraction occurs in this case, and all the light is reflected back into the initial medium (total internal reflection). The value of the angle of incidence above which this phenomen occurs is called critical angle, and it is given by

\theta_c =sin^{-1}(\frac{n_2}{n_1})

Where are overcurrent protective devices normally installed in a branch circuit?
love history [14]

Overcurrent protective devices are normally installed in a branch circuit from where the conductors receive their supply.

<h3>What is resistance?</h3>

Resistance is the obstruction of electrons in an electrically conducting material. The mathematical relation for resistance can be understood with the help of the empirical relation provided by Ohm's law.

V=IR

V is the voltage,I is the current and R is the resistance

The vercurrent protective devices are normally installed in a branch circuit from where the conductors receive their supply.

Thus, In a branch circuit, overcurrent safety devices are often located from where the conductors get their supply.

Which of the following is a balanced chemical equation? MgF 2 + Li 2CO 3 ⟶ MgCO 3 + LiF 2Al + 6HCl ⟶ 3H 2 + AlCl 3 P 4 + 3O 2 ⟶
IRISSAK [1]

P₄ + 3O₂ ⟶ 2P₂O₃

Explanation:

A balanced equation is any equation that complies with the law of conservation of matter and mass.

The law of conservation of matter states that "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but simply rearranges. ".

  This suggests that the total number of atoms on both reactant and product sides must be the same in a balanced chemical equation. Also, the same atoms are found on both sides of a chemical equation with no additional or external species.

Now let us check if the equation is conserved:

                              P₄ + 3O₂ ⟶ 2P₂O₃

Atoms                      reactant                                product

P                                    4                                              4

O                                    6                                              6

We see that we have equal number of atoms on both sides. The equation is balanced.

Person is lifting a 250 N dumbbell. The weight is 30 cm from the pivot point of the elbow. What force must be exerted five from
qwelly [4]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The force, F, is applied at 5 cm from the elbow.

For dynamic equilibrium, the sum of moments about the elbow is zero.
Take moments about the elbow.
(5 cm)*(F N) - (30 cm)*(250 N) = 0
F = (30*250)/5 = 1500 N

Answer: 1500 N
