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°

At which position is the LOWEST potential energy?
Ad libitum [116K]
The answer is position 3, because it is at its lowest point.

Potential Energy is “stored energy.” It is energy that is ready to be converted or released as another type of energy. We most often think of potential energy as gravitational potential energy. When objects are higher up, they are ready to fall back down. When you stretch an object and it has a tendency to return to its original shape, it is said to have elastic potential energy. Chemical potential energy is the stored energy in a substance’s chemical structure that can be released in a chemical reaction or as heat.

Schach [20]

Answer:

1 cm⁻¹ =1.44K  1 ev = 1.16 10⁴ K

Explanation:

The relationship between temperature and thermal energy is

     E = K T

The relationship of the speed of light

    c =λ f = f / ν          1/λ= ν

The Planck equation is

          E = h f

Let's start the transformations

     c = f λ = f / ν        

     f = c ν

     E = h f

     E = h c ν

     E = KT

     h c ν = K T

     T = h c ν  / K =( h c / K) ν

Let's replace the constants

     h = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s

     c = 3 10⁸ m / s

     K = 1.38  10⁻²³ J / K

 

     v = 1 cm-1 (100 cm / 1 m) = 10² m-1

   

     T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 1 10²

     A = h c / K = 1,441 10⁻²

     T =  1.44K

     ν = 103 cm⁻¹ = 103 10² m

     T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 103 10²

     T = 148K

1 Rydberg = 1.097 10 7 m

As we saw at the beginning the λ=1 / v

     T = (h c / K) 1 /λ

     T = 1,441 10⁻²  1 / 1,097 10⁷

     T = 1.3 10⁻⁹ K

    E = 1Ev (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J /1 eV) = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

    E = KT

    T = E/K

    T = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ /1.38 10⁻²³

    T = 1.16 10⁴ K
