The speed of light in air is 3.0 x 10^8 m/s. The speed of light in particular glass is 2.3 x 10^8 m/s. Use the information to de

termine the angle of refraction of light which travels from the glass into air, if the angle of incidence on the glass/air boundary is 25° . Draw a diagram.

Answer:

33.61°

Explanation:

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

v is the velocity in the medium  (2.3 × 10⁸ m/s)

c is the speed of light in air = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

So,  

n = 3.0 × 10⁸ /  2.3 × 10⁸

n = 1.31

Using Snell's law as:

n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence  ( 25.0° )

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction  ( ? )

{n_r} is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (air, n=1)

{n_i} is the refractive index of the incidence medium (glass, n=1.31)

Hence,  

1.31\times {sin25.0^0}={1}\times{sin\theta_r}

Angle of refraction = sin^{-1}0.5536 = 33.61°

5. Describe the shape of the waveform in the secondary coil for a sine, square and triangle wave in the primary coil. How does t
Volgvan

Answer:

When primary coil is exited by sin wave,this will result in sin wave in secondary coil as well.According to law,flux induced in the secondary coil will have same waveform as in the primary coil.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Backwash effect

Explanation:

Your friend moved along the shore due to ; The swash effect and the Backwash effect

Swash effect is caused by the upsurge of water up along the slopping front of the beach  and this same upsurge in water moves back into the beach in what is known as the backwash effect hence the movement of your friend form where they were in the surf zone to another position still within the surface zone is caused by the BACKWASH EFFECT
