Answer:

An isotropic medium is one such that the permittivity, ε, and permeability, μ, of the medium are uniform in all directions of the medium, the simplest instance being free space. Optical isotropy means having the same optical properties in all directions.

Find refractive index first

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{c}{v}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{1.0003}{1.33}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu =0.75$

Now

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sini}{sinr}=\mu$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{sinr}=0.75$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{0.75}=sinr$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow sinr=0.94$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=sin^{-1}(0.94)$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=70^{\circ}$

As light from a star spreads out and weakens, do gaps form between the photons?<br>

Zolol [24]

Answer:

There are no gaps in space between the photons as they travel. If you were to look at a wave then you'd come to a conclusion that indeed that there aren't any gaps unless they are specifically placed.The light from a distance star indeed spreads out and weakens as it travels, but this just reduces the wave strength and does not introduce gaps.

A circular coil of radius r = 5 cm and resistance R = 0.2 is placed in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of th

Yuri [45]

Answer:

the question is incomplete, the complete question is

"A circular coil of radius r = 5 cm and resistance R = 0.2 ? is placed in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the coil. The magnitude of the field changes with time according to B = 0.5 e^-t T. What is the magnitude of the current induced in the coil at the time t = 2 s?"

2.6mA

Explanation:

we need to determine the emf induced in the coil and y applying ohm's law we determine the current induced.

using the formula be low,

$E=-\frac{d}{dt}(BACOS\alpha )\\$

where B is the magnitude of the field and A is the area of the circular coil.

First, let determine the area using $\pi r^{2} \\$ where r is the radius of 5cm or 0.05m

$A=\pi *(0.05)^{2}\\ A=0.00785m^{2}\\$

since we no that the angle is at $0^{0}$

we determine the magnitude of the magnetic filed

$B=0.5e^{-t} \\t=2s$

$E=-(0.5e^{-2} * 0.00785)$

$E=-0.000532v\\$

the Magnitude of the voltage is 0.000532V

Next we determine the current using ohm's law

$V=IR\\R=0.2\\I=\frac{0.000532}{0.2} \\I=0.0026A$

$I=2.6mA$

Oscilloscopes have parallel metal plates inside them to deflect the electron beam. These plates are called the deflecting plates

Alina [70]

Answer:

The capacitance of the deflecting plates is $C=1.59 pF$ .

Explanation:

The expression for the capacitance of the capacitor in terms of area and distance is as follows;

$C=\frac{\varepsilon _{0}A}{d}$

Here, C is the capacitance, A is the area, d is the distance and $\varepsilon _{0}$ is the absolute permittivity.

Convert the side of the square from cm to m.

s= 3.0 cm

s= 0.030 m

Calculate the area of the square.

$A= s_^{2}$

Put s= 0.030 m.

$A=(0.030)_^{2}$

$A=9\times10^{-4}m^{-2}$

Convert distance from mm to m.

d= 5.0 mm

$d=5\times10^{-3}m$

Calculate the capacitance of the deflecting plates.

$C=\frac{\varepsilon _{0}A}{d}$

Put $d=5\times10^{-3}m$ , $A=9\times10^{-4}m^{-2}$ and $\varepsilon _{0}=8.85\times 10^{-12}Fm^{-1}$ .

$C=\frac{(8.85\times 10^{-12})(9\times10^{-4})}{5\times10^{-3}}$

$C=1.59\times 10^{-12}F$

$C=1.59 pF$

Therefore, the capacitance of the deflecting plates is $C=1.59 pF$ .

Which statement about the minerals plagioclase feldspar, gypsum, biotite mica, and talc can best be inferred from the chart? (1)

madreJ [45]

Answer:

(4) The physical and chemical properties of these minerals determine how humans use them.

Explanation:

All the materials and the metals found on earth shows certain characteristics naturally or in their physical state. These physical characteristics can be their look, their structure, their color, strength, melting point, boiling point, density, etc.

And chemical properties of the metals are defined as those characteristics or features of the metals that it exhibits when these metals reacts chemically.

The physical properties as well as the chemical properties distinguishes each metal from each other. These properties determines how people use these metals in their life.
