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

The value of this critical angle can be derived by Snell's law, and it is equal to
\theta_C = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.

In our problem, n1=1.47 and n2=1.33, so the critical angle is
\theta_C = \arcsin( \frac{1.33}{1.47} )=\arcsin (0.91)=65^{\circ}

The classical pathway for complement activation is initiated by
maks197457 [2]

Answer: The classical complement pathway for complement activation is initiated by antigen-antibody complexes with the antibody isotypes IgG and IgM.

Explanation: The classical complement pathway typically requires antigen-antibody complexes (immune complexes) for activation (specific immune response), whereas the alternative pathway can be activated by C3 hydrolysis, foreign material, pathogens, or damaged cells.

After activation, a series of proteins are recruited to generate C3 convertase, which cleaves the C3 protein. The C3b component of the cleaved C3 binds to C3 convertase to generate C5 convertase, which cleaves the C5 protein. The cleaved products attract phagocytes to the site of infection and tags target cells for elimination by phagocytosis. In addition, the C5 convertase initiates the terminal phase of the complement system, leading to make appear the membrane attack complex. The membrane attack complex creates a pore on the target cell's membrane, inducing cell lysis and death.

A 0.9 µF capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 10.0 V. The wires connecting the capacitor to the battery are then di
jeyben [28]

Answer:

3.6μF

Explanation:

The charge on the capacitor is defined by the formula

q = CV

because the charge will be conserved

q₁ = C₁V₂

q₂ = C₂V₂ where C₂ V₂ represent the charge on the newly connected capacitor  and the voltage drop across the two capacitor will be the same

q = q₁ + q₂ = C₁V₂ + C₂V₂

CV = CV₂ + C₂V₂

CV - CV₂ = C₂V₂

C ( V - V₂) = C₂V₂

C ( V/ V₂ - V₂ /V₂) = C₂

C₂ = 0.9 ( 10 /2) - 1) = 0.9( 5 - 1) = 3.6μF
