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}

Which value is most likely to be the pH of a salt that is formed by the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base?
Mice21 [21]
In a hydrolysis reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the salt formed will have a pH less than 7. By virtue of this phenomenon between <span>weak bases and strong acids</span>, the anion of the strong acid will fail to attract the hydrogen ion<span>, while the cation from the weak base will donate a </span>proton<span> to the water forming a hydronium ion</span><span>.

Carrie is driving a car. Which factors determine the kinetic energy of her car<br> at this point
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The two main factors that affect kinetic energy are mass and speed.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that is caused by the motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy or force that the object has due to its motion. Your moving vehicle has kinetic energy; as you increase your vehicle's speed, your vehicle's kinetic energy increases.

Have a great day! :D

Which of the following processes DOES NOT occur during the convective transfer of heat within a container of air? Group of answe
vovangra [49]

The volume of a warmed part of the air is reduced and its density increases.

Explanation:

In a convective form of heat transfer, the volume of a warmed part of air is not reduced and its density does not increase.

During convection, heat causes the warm part of the air to expand and its volume increases. When volume increases, density is reduced.

  • Convection is a form of heat transfer that involves the actual movement of particles of the medium.
  • It usually occurs in fluids i.e gases and liquids.
  • In convection, the cold part exerts a buoyant force on the warmer air below and causes it to rise.
  • As the warmer part is rising the cooler part replaces it and a convective cell is formed in the process.
