When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index into a medium with lower refractive index, there is a maximum angle (called critical angle) for which all the light is reflected, so there is no refraction.

The value of the critical angle is given by:
\theta = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
when n1 is the refractive index of the first medium, while n2 is the refractive index of the second medium. In our case, n1=1.33 (the water) and n1=1.00 (the air). Putting numbers in, we get
\theta = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.33} )=49^{\circ}

The magnitude of the gravitational field strength near Earth's surface is represented by
Zanzabum

Answer:

The magnitude of the gravitational field strength near Earth's surface is represented by approximately 9.82\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

Explanation:

Let be M and m the masses of the planet and a person standing on the surface of the planet, so that M >> m. The attraction force between the planet and the person is represented by the Newton's Law of Gravitation:

F = G\cdot \frac{M\cdot m}{r^{2}}

Where:

M - Mass of the planet Earth, measured in kilograms.

m - Mass of the person, measured in kilograms.

r - Radius of the Earth, measured in meters.

G - Gravitational constant, measured in \frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}}.

But also, the magnitude of the gravitational field is given by the definition of weight, that is:

F = m \cdot g

Where:

m - Mass of the person, measured in kilograms.

g - Gravity constant, measured in meters per square second.

After comparing this expression with the first one, the following equivalence is found:

g = \frac{G\cdot M}{r^{2}}

Given that G = 6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}}, M = 5.972 \times 10^{24}\,kg and r = 6.371 \times 10^{6}\,m, the magnitude of the gravitational field near Earth's surface is:

g = \frac{\left(6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}} \right)\cdot (5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)}{(6.371\times 10^{6}\,m)^{2}}

g \approx 9.82\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The magnitude of the gravitational field strength near Earth's surface is represented by approximately 9.82\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

1. The amount of energy carried by the wave is related to the Amplitude of the wave.
2. A mechanical wave requires an initial energy input, Once this initial energy is added the wave travels through the medium until all it's energy is transferred.
