The refractive index of a certain glass is 1.66. For what incident angle is light reflected

Physics

MAXImum [283]3 years ago

If light is moving inside the glass, it will be reflected when the angle of incidence is above the critical angle of the material, which is given by
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_a}{n_g} )
where
n_a = 1.00 is the refractive index of air
n_g = 1.66 is the refractive index of this type of glass

If we plug the numbers into the equation, we find
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.66} ) = \arcsin (0.602) =37.0^{\circ}
So, light will be reflected inside the glass when the angle is equal or greater than this value.

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?
tatiyna
Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).

Suppose an object is moving in a straight line at 50 miles/hr. According to Newton's first law of motion, the object will ______
Setler [38]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that a body will remain in its state of rest or if its in motion will continue to move in a straight line, unless its acted upon by an external force.The ability of an object to stay at rest or in motion if its in motion is known as inertia.

Hence the correct option is B.

A father fashions a swing for his children out of a long rope that he fastens to the limb of a tall tree. As one of the children
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the child at the bottom of the swing is 15.04 m/s².

                     

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

Where:

v^{2}: is the tangential speed = 9.50 m/s

r: is the distance = 6.00 m

Hence, the centripetal acceleration is:

a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r} = \frac{(9.50 m/s)^{2}}{6.00 m} = 15.04 m/s^{2}

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the child at the bottom of the swing is 15.04 m/s².

I hope it helps you!
