A ray in plastic has a critical angle of 44.4 deg when trying to enter air. What is the index of refraction for the plastic?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 1.43

Explanation:

Given that:

C (critical angle) = 44.4°

n (refractive index of plastic) = ?

Apply the formula n = 1/sineC, the index of refraction for the plastic can be obtained by:

n = 1/sineC

n = 1/sine 44.4°

n = (1/0.6996)

n = 1.43

Thus, the index of refraction for the plastic is 1.43

Frank says that quantum mechanics does not apply to baseballs because they do not jump from quantum state to quantum state when
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

They are correct

Explanation:

According to the uncertainty principle, the uncertainty in the position of an object is directly proportional to its De Broglie wavelength.

The De Broglie wavelength of a baseball is about 10^{-34}m, recall that the diameter of the atom is about to 10^{-10}m. Thus, the error in simultaneously determining the position and momentum of a baseball is infinitesimally small.
