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}

Expain how a hurricane develops
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

A hurricane starts to form when warm air rises and then that warm air turns into cooler air. After a while of this happening large clouds and thunderstorms    are made. The clouds and thunderstorms keep growing and rotating from earth's Coriolis Effect. Then a hurricane forms.

The earth rotates every 86,160 seconds. What is the tangential speed (in m/s) at Livermore (Latitude 37.6819° measured up from e
Lena [83]

Answer:

The tangential speed at Livermore is approximately 284.001 meters per second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that the Earth rotates at constant speed, the tangential speed (v), measured in meters per second, at Livermore (37.6819º N, 121º W) is determined by the following expression:

v = \left(\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}\right)\cdot R \cdot \sin \phi (1)

Where:

\Delta t - Rotation time, measured in seconds.

R - Radius of the Earth, measured in meters.

\phi - Latitude of the city above the Equator, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If we know that \Delta t = 86160\,s, R = 6.371\times 10^{6}\,m and \phi = 37.6819^{\circ}, then the tangential speed at Livermore is:

v = \left(\frac{2\pi}{86160\,s} \right)\cdot (6.371\times 10^{6}\,m)\cdot \sin 37.6819^{\circ}

v\approx 284.001\,\frac{m}{s}

The tangential speed at Livermore is approximately 284.001 meters per second.

Flashlight has resistance of 2.4 what voltage is applied by the batteries if the current is 2.5a
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

6 voltage is applied by the batteries.

Explanation:

To solve this sort of problem involving current, resistance and voltage, we use the relation:<em> </em><em>Voltage</em><em>= </em><em>Current x Resistance</em>.

From the problem, the following have been given:

Resistance= 2.4 ohms.

Current= 2.5 amps.

Required: Voltage?

Fix the values of current and resistance into the relation:

Voltage= <em>2.5 x 2.4</em>

            =6 volts.
