Perspex has a greater refractive index than ice. Explain what happens to the speed and direction of a ray of light at it travels

from ice into Perspex. Thanks!

True [87]3 years ago

Answer:

when the ray passes from ice to perspex it must approach the normal

Explanation:

This is an exercise in refraction of light, the process is governed by the expression

      n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where we use index 1 for the incident medium and subscript 2 for the scattered medium.

In our case, medium 1 is ice with the lowest refractive index.

           sin θ₁ = n₂ / n₁   sin θ₂

To fulfill this equation, if the ray travels through the medium 1 ice with an angle θ₁, the angle in the medium 2 perspex must be smaller so that the sine is smaller, so when the ray passes from ice to perspex it must approach the normal

(A) We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states:
V=IR
where
V is the potential difference across the electrical device
I is the current through the device
R is its resistance
For the heater coil in the problem, we know V=220 V and R=220 \Omega, therefore we can rearrange Ohm's law to find the current through the device:
I= \frac{V}{R}= \frac{220 V}{220 \Omega}=1 A

(B) The resistance of a conductive wire depends on three factors. In fact, it is given by:
R= \rho \frac{L}{A}
where
\rho is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
Basically, we see that the longer the wire, the larger its resistance; and the larger the section of the wire, the smaller its resistance.

dsp73

Answer:

angular speed of both the children will be same

Explanation:

Rate of revolution of the merry go round is given as

f = 4.04 rev/min

so here we have

f = \frac{4.04}{60} =0.067 rev/s

here we know that angular frequency is given as

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi(0.067)

\omega = 0.42 rad/s

now this is the angular speed of the disc and this speed will remain same for all points lying on the disc

Angular speed do not depends on the distance from the center but it will be same for all positions of the disc
