Answer:
14.2 m/s
Explanation:
Given data:
Speed of the stream, v₁ = 7.1 m/s
let the cross section area at initial point be A₁
now area at the second point, A₂ = (1/2)A₁ = 0.5A₁
now, from the continuity equation, we have
A₁v₁ = A₂v₂
where, v₂ is the velocity at the narrowed portion
thus, on substituting the values, we get
A₁ × 7.1 = 0.5A₁ × v₂
or
v₂ = 14.2 m/s
Its a thermometer . i hope this helps you
Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).
Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.
Moral of the story: If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.
