Answer:

Because they are found deep in the Earth and the energy stored in them was obtained from the Sun long ago.

From research I found that the <span>fossil fuel resources are sometimes referred to as "buried sunshine" because they make the earth warm. They are also found deep in the earth and the energy stored in them was obtained from the sun long ago, and that's because they also produce energy the same way the sun does.

Hope this is the answer you were looking for and that it helps. :)</span>

Given a block of glass that is semi-circular, a laser pointer, protractor/ruler, and index card, design your own experiment to o
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Explanation:

To design the experiment of measuring the critical angle, we describe the phenomenon, when the light passes from a medium with a higher refractive index to one with a lower index, it separates from the normal one and the Critical Angle is defined as the Angle for which the refraction occurs at 90º

            n₂ sin θ₂ = n₁ sin 90

           n₁ / n₂ = sin θ₂

As we can see, we have to measure the angle with which the laser touches the exit surface of the glass block.

Design of the experiment:

    We place the glass block on the ramp and at the top we hit the conveyor for half the angle, we climb the block on the ramp and see that the angle of incidence of lightning on the exit face changes, part of the beam comes out of the glass , we see it by dispersion in the particles of dirty in the air; Maybe the conveyor or the laser should be moved slightly so that the beam touches the point of origin on the conveyor.

   

   When we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

zlopas [31]
Hubble noticed that the galaxies were moving away from us, which meant the universe was expanding.

This is why constellations change over time. In some years, the Big Dipper won't actually look like a dipper anymore.
