Light traveling in a medium of index of refraction n1 is incident on another medium having an index of refraction n2. Under whic

h of the following conditions can total internal reflection occur at the interface of the two media? (Select all that apply.) The angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. The angle of incidence is less than the critical angle. The indices of refraction have the relation n2 > n1. The indices of refraction have the relation n1 > n2. The light propagates at a greater speed in medium 1 than in medium 2.

Answer:

Explanation:

Total internal reflections is a phenomenon where incident light rays when travelling from a denser medium or from a medium with higher refractive index to less dense medium or a medium  with lesser refractive index  ( The indices of refraction have the relation n₁ > n₂, where n₁ is the refractive index of the first medium and n₂ is the refractive index of medium 2) leads to the light ray being reflected back into the first medium instead of undergoing refraction. Usually, this occurs when the incident light rays angle to the normal is greater than a certain critical angle which is the angle when the refracted ray angle in the second medium is 90°

A light plane must reach a speed of 33 m/s per take off. How long a runway is needed if the constant acceleration is 3.0 m/s^2.
aleksley [76]
Given the final velocity (Vf) and the acceleration (a), the distance that should be traveled by the plane is calculated through the equation,
                            d = (Vf² - Vi²) / 2a
V1 should be zero because the light plane started the motion from rest. Substituting the given values,
                          d = ((33 m/s)² - 0)) / 2(3 m/s²)
The distance is therefore equal to 181.5 meters.

°C = (5/9) · (°F-32)

The "wet" thermometer is the upper one ... you can see the wet cloth wrapped around the bulb at the end.  It's reading 70° F.

°C = (5/9) · (38) = 21.1° C

The "dry" thermometer is the lower one.  It's reading 80° F.

°C = (5/9) · (48) = 26.7° C

So it looks like choice-A is your answer.

An airplane flies 40km directly south in 10 minutes and 20 km directly east in five minutes, its average speed is:
blondinia [14]
Average speed = total distance / total time
total distance = 40 + 20 = 60km
total time taken = 10 + 5 = 15 minutes
Average speed = 60/15 = 4km/min

If 20 beats are produced within one second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves traveli
NeTakaya

Answer:

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz

Explanation:

  • When two waves with different frequency travelling in the same medium meet each other, they produce an interference pattern called beat.
  • <em><u>The frequency of the beat produced is equivalent to </u></em><em><u>the difference between the individual frequencies of the two waves involved.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore; in this case since the frequency of the beat is 20 Hz, that is from 20 beats per second.</u></em>
  • We need to find a pair from the choices whose frequency difference is 20 Hz.
  • This happens to be choice D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz,  that is 42 Hz - 22 Hz = 20 Hz

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

  9.877 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration can be computed from ...

  d = (1/2)at^2

  (1600 m) = (1/2)a(18 s)^2

  a = (1600/162) m/s^2 ≈ 9.877 m/s^2
