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°

B. A hypothesis is just an idea. And can become a Theory if there is some evidence. However a Theory is not a law, but an idea with supportive evidence

A ball is kicked horizontally from a 60 meter tall cliff at 10 m/s. How far from
o-na [289]

Hi there!

We can begin by deriving the equation for how long the ball takes to reach the bottom of the cliff.

\large\boxed{\Delta d = v_it+ \frac{1}{2}at^2}}

There is NO initial vertical velocity, so:

\large\boxed{\Delta d= \frac{1}{2}at^2}}

Rearrange to solve for time:

2\Delta d = at^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\Delta d}{g}}

Plug in the given height and acceleration due to gravity (g ≈ 9.8 m/s²)

t = \sqrt{\frac{2(60)}{(9.8)}} = 3.5 s

Now, use the following for finding the HORIZONTAL distance using its horizontal velocity:

\large\boxed{d_x = vt}\\\\d_x = 10(3.5) = \karge\boxed{35 m}
