I halved the speed of light in vacuum to get the speed of light in the material, since the speed of light in vacuum is twice the speed of light in material.

The index of refraction is essentially the speed of light through a vacuum divided by the speed of light through given medium.

I attached some notes on refraction too, hopefully this helps :D

As light shines from air to water (n = 1.33) at an incident angle of 45.0 degrees what is the angle of refraction
erma4kov [3.2K]
Using Snell's law
we get
sin(I)/sin(r) = U2/U1
• where U2 represent the water's refractive index and U1 represent air's refractive index
thus
sin45°sin(r) = 1.33/1
1/√2*1.33 = sin(r)
1/1.88 = sin(r)
0.531 = sin(r)
thus the refractive angle is 32°

An object is dropped from an airplane and takes 72 seconds to hit the ground. What is the magnitude of its VF Y ?
Dafna1 [17]

The final vertical velocity of the object is 705.6 m

Explanation:

Here we have to analyze the vertical motion of the object, which is a free fall motion, with constant acceleration of

g=9.8 m/s^2

towards the ground due to gravity.

Therefore, we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final vertical velocity

u is the initial vertical velocity

a=g is the acceleration

t is the time

Since the object is dropped,

u = 0

Therefore, the magnitude of the vertical velocity of the object after t = 72 seconds is:

v=0+(9.8)(72)=705.6 m/s
