Refractive index is the ration of sin i to sin r where i is the incident angle and r is the refraction angle.
Therefore, refractive index = sin 79.5 / sin 39.6
= 1.542
The refractive index may be given by the ratio of refractive index of medium 2 to refractive index of medium 1.
Therefore, 1.542 = n/1.0003
n = 1.5425
≈ 1.54
Medium 2 is sodium chloride, refractive index of 1.54
Answer:
n = c/v = (3.00 x 108 m/s)/(2.76 x 108 m/s) = 1.09. This does not equal any of the indices of refraction listed in the table.
Answer:
a) 
b) the motorcycle travels 155 m
Explanation:
Let 
, then consider the equation of motion for the motorcycle (accelerated) and for the car (non accelerated):
where:
is the speed of the motorcycle at time 2
is the velocity of the car (constant)
is the velocity of the car and the motorcycle at time 1
d is the distance between the car and the motorcycle at time 1
x is the distance traveled by the car between time 1 and time 2
Solving the system of equations:
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}car&motorcycle\\x=v_0\Delta{t}&x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}}) \Delta{t}\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7Dcar%26motorcycle%5C%5Cx%3Dv_0%5CDelta%7Bt%7D%26x%2Bd%3D%28%5Cfrac%7Bv_0%2Bv_%7Bm2%7D%7D%7B2%7D%7D%29%20%5CDelta%7Bt%7D%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
For the second part, we need to calculate x+d, so you can use the equation of the car to calculate x:
