A ray of light is incident on a flat surface of a block of polystyrene, with an index of refraction of 1.49, that is submerged i

n water. The ray is split at the surface, where the angle of refraction of the transmitted ray is 19.1°. What is the angle of reflection (in degrees) of the reflected ray?

Answer:

21.5°

Explanation:

Given,

Refractive index of water, n₁ = 1.33

Refractive index of polystyrene, n₂ = 1.49

Angle of reflection = ?

Angle of refraction = 19.1°

Using Snell's law

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

1.33 x sin θ₁ = 1.49 x sin 19.1°

sin θ₁ = 0.366

θ₁  = 21.5°

According to law of reflection angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.

Angle of reflection =  21.5°

How does a blue object look under all colors of light
OverLord2011 [107]
The "blue" object would look the same. Say that this blue object is a square. That "square" is every color but blue. The only reason that you see it as "blue" is because what we call "blue", it the only color of light that bounces back at our eyes. Under all colors of light, especially simultaneously. This square or any shape for that matter would absorb the other colors of light, but the blue will be rejected. Therefore, we can only see what bounces back at our eyes, which is the color blue in this case. 

Hope this helps, WyattMarine501

A person drives a car around a circular road with a constant speed of 20 m/s. The
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

16 m/s^2

Explanation:

acceleration tangential = (v^2)/r

a=400/25

a=16 m/s^2

Side note: next time, be more specific when asking about acceleration in circular motion. There's more than one type! Example:

angular acceleration=acceleration tangential/r

angular acc.=16/25

angular acc.=0.64 rad/s^2
