When light moves from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle above which there is no refracted light, and all the light is reflected. The value of this angle is given by
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n2 and n1 are the refractive indices of the second and first medium, respectively.

In the first part of the problem, light moves from glass to air (n_a=1.00) and the critical angle is \theta_c = 30.8^{\circ}. This means that we can find the refractive index of glass by re-arranging the previous formula:
n_g=n_1 =  \frac{n_2}{\sin \theta_c}= \frac{1.00}{\sin 30.8^{\circ}}=1.95

Now the glass is put into water, whose refractive index is n_w = 1.33. If light moves from glass to water, the new critical angle will be
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )=\arcsin( \frac{n_w}{n_g} )=\arcsin( \frac{1.33}{1.95} )=\arcsin(0.68)=43.0^{\circ}

A bicyclist is initially traveling at 3 m/s. The bicyclist accelerates at 1 m/s2 for 5 seconds.
leonid [27]
The change in velocity is 5m/s which added to the initial 3m/s makes the final velocity 8m/s

Distance = (3*5) + (1/2*1*5^2)= 15+12.5= 27.5m

A sound has a sound level of 30 dB. Its intensity is what multiple of the standard reference level for intensities?
arsen [322]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

1000th multiple of the standard reference level for intensities.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sound intensity level (β), measured in decibels, of a sound with an intensity of I is defined as follows;

β = 10 log (I / I₀)       --------------------(i)

Where;

I₀ = reference intensity

Given from the question;

β = sound level = 30dB

Substitute this value into equation (i) as follows;

30 = 10 log (I / I₀)

Divide both sides by 3;

3 = log (I / I₀)

Take antilog of both sides;

10^(3) = (I / I₀)

1000 = I / I₀

Solve for I;

I = 1000I₀

Therefore the intensity of the sound is 1000 times the standard reference level for intensities (I₀)
