Answer: (B). Total internal reflection is the complete reflection of a light ray back into its original medium.

Explanation:

Reflection: The reflection will, when the incidence angle will make between 0^{\circ} and 90^{\circ}.

In the reflection, the light ray moves one medium to another medium.

Total internal reflection: The total internal reflection will, when the incidence angle is greater than the critical angle.

In the total reflection, The light ray comes back into the original medium after reflection.

Critical angle: Critical angle permits the ray of light to be reflected back in the medium n₁ and it does not refract into the medium n₂.  

Hence, Total internal reflection is the complete reflection of a light ray back into its original medium.

When a 10 V battery is connected to a resistor, 5 A of current flows through the resistor. What is the resistor's value?
SashulF [63]

Given data

*The value of battery voltage is V = 10 V

*The current flows through the resistor is I = 5 A

The formula for the resistor is given by the Ohm's law as

R=\frac{V}{I}

Substitute the values in the above expression as

\begin{gathered} R=\frac{10}{5} \\ =2\text{ ohm} \end{gathered}

Calculate the speed of an 8.0x10^4 kg airliner with a kinetic energy of 1.1x10^9 j ...?
Over [174]
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object on motion. it is expressed as follows:

KE = 0.5mv^2

where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the object. We calculate as follows:


KE = 0.5mv^2
1.1x10^9 J = 0.5(8.0x10^4 kg) v^2
v = 165.83 m/s

Ipatiy [6.2K]
(Missing question is: which of the following statements are true?)

a) <span>A battery does work on electric charges to bring them to a position of higher electric potential energy so that they can flow through a circuit to a lower potential energy --> TRUE
That's true: the battery does the work to move the charges to one end of its terminal thus creating a potential difference between the two terminals. Then, when it is connected to the circuit, charges start to flow to the terminal at lower potential (through the circuit)

b) </span><span>the potential difference between the terminals of a battery, when no current flows to an external circuit, is referred to as the terminal voltage --> FALSE
This is false: when no current flows, it is called e.m.f. (electromotive force)

c) </span><span>the internal resistance of a battery decreases with decreasing temperature 
--> TRUE
In fact, the dependence of a resistance with the temperature is:
</span>R=R_0[1+\alpha (T-T_0)]
with \alpha being generally positive, therefore the value of the resistance is proportional to T, and when T decreases, R decreases as well.

<span>d) a battery is a device that produces electricity by transforming chemical energy into electrical energy --> TRUE
</span><span>That's true: a battery uses chemical reactions to create a potential difference between the two terminals that can be exploited to make charges flowing through a circuit.

It's nighttime, and you ve dropped your goggles into a 3.2-m-deep swimming pool. If you hold a laser pointer 0.90 m above the ed
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m

Explanation:

Given:

The depth of pool (d) = 3.2 m

let 'i' be the angle of incidence

thus,

i = tan^{-1}(\frac{2.2}{0.90})

i = 67.75°

Now, Using snell's law, we have,

n₁ × sin(i) = n₂ × 2 × sin(r)

where,

r is the angle of refraction

n₁ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1 for air

n₂ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1.33 for water

now,

1 × sin 67.75° = 1.33 × sin(r)

or

r = 44.09°

Now,  

the distance of googles = 2.2 + d×tan(r)  = 2.2 + (3.2 × tan(44.09°) = 5.30 m

Hence, <u>the distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m</u>
