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 television camera lens has a 17-cm focal length and a lens diameter of 6.0 cm. what is its number?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

= 2.83

Explanation:

F number (N) is given by the formula;

  F- number = f/D

where f = focal length of lens and D = diameter of the aperture  

Therefore;

F number = 17 cm/6 cm

                <u> = 2.83</u>

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Positive

Explanation:

The leaves will diverge further: The positive charge on the leaves has increased further. This occurs when positive charge is produced on the leaves by the charged object. This is quite possible only when the object is positively charged.
