They both have a certain force. They are different because that force is different
The object will not be able to accelerate perpendicular to direction of motion
The question is incomplete. You dis not provide values for A and B. Here is the complete question
Light in the air is incident at an angle to a surface of (12.0 + A) degrees on a piece of glass with an index of refraction of (1.10 + (B/100)). What is the angle between the surface and the light ray once in the glass? Give your answer in degrees and rounded to three significant figures.
A = 12
B = 18
Answer:
18.5⁰
Explanation:
Angle of incidence i = 12.0 + A
A = 12
= 12.0 + 12
= 14
Refractive index u = 1.10 + B/100
= 1.10 + 18/100
= 1.10 + 0.18
= 1.28
We then find the angle of refraction index u
u = sine i / sin r
u = sine24/sinr
1.28 = sine 24 / sine r
1.28Sine r = sin24
1.28 sine r = 0.4067
Sine r = 0.4067/1.28
r = sine^-1(0.317)
r = 18.481
= 18.5⁰
