Answer: C and D

Explanation: One of the first rule for total internal reflection to occur is that the ray must move from a dense to a less dense medium, hence refractive index of medium a must be greater than that of b.

When a ray moves from a dense to a less dense medium, the refracted ray moves away from the normal thus increasing the size of the angle of refraction (total internal refraction occurs when the angle of refraction is 90° and the angle of incidence at this point is known as the critical angle), hence the angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle.

These points verifies option C and D

____ is the detection of halo objects like brown dwarfs when their gravitational fields concentrate the light of distant sources
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Microlensing.

Explanation:

This techniques is called Microlensing.

Microlensing is a method of gravitational lensing where light from a backdrop point of origin is curved to develop distorted, numerous and/or lightened images by the gravity field of a foreground lens.

This method is very effective in discovering planets that are far-far from earth.It is actually an astronomical effect that was predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Force = 125 [N]

Explanation:

In the attached image we can see a sketch of the lever system.

And if we make a sum of moments at the point O equal to zero (0).

In the equation showed in the image, we can determinate the force that we need
