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
8 0

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

An object is placed to the left of a convex mirror, such that the object-to-image distance is 140 cm.
labwork [276]

Answer:

The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object to Image distance d = 140 cm

Image distance v= 35 cm

We need to calculate the object distance

u = d-v

u = 140-35=105\ cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of mirror

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{-105}+\dfrac{1}{35}

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{2}{105}

f=52.5\ cm

Hence, The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

PLEASE HELP!!
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Michael Faraday is probably best known for his discovery of electromagnetic induction, his contributions to electrical engineering and electrochemistry or due to the fact that he was responsible for introducing the concept of field in physics to describe electromagnetic interaction.

Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.

Electrical engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with the study, design and application of equipment, devices and systems which use electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.

Electrochemistry is the branch of physical chemistry that studies the relationship between electricity, as a measurable and quantitative phenomenon, and identifiable chemical change, with either electricity considered an outcome of a particular chemical change or vice versa.

Suppose a rock is hoisted up with a rope. The rock experiences 10 N of tension force upward and 10 N of gravitational force down
nika2105 [10]
False. Since the forces are pulling in equal and opposite directions, the net force is 0.
