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°

Erica throws a tennis ball against a wall, and it bounces back. Which force is responsible for sending the ball back to Erica?
Anna71 [15]

OPTIONS :

A.) the force that the ball exerts on the wall

B.) the frictional force between the wall and the ball

C.) the acceleration of the ball as it approaches the wall

D.) the normal force that the wall exerts on the ball

Answer: D.) the normal force that the wall exerts on the ball

Explanation: The normal force acting on an object can be explained as a force experienced by an object when it comes in contact with a flat surface. The normal force acts perpendicular to the surface of contact.

In the scenario described above, Erica's tennis ball experiences an opposite reaction after hitting the wall.This is in relation to Newton's 3rd law of motion, which states that, For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The reaction force in this case is the normal force exerted on the ball by the wall perpendicular to the surface of contact.
