You have a beaker with a layer of olive oil floating on top of water. A ray of light travels through the oil and is incident on

the water with an angle of 50.2°. Using the index of refraction of the oil as 1.470 and the index of refraction of water as 1.333, determine the critical angle in oil for the oil-water interface.
?c = °


Determine if the ray of light refracts into the water or reflects off the oil-water interface back into the oil.


a. refracts into the water

b. reflects back into the oil

Answer:

a)    θ = 65º  , b) the light is refracted

Explanation:

When a ray of light passes from a material with a higher index to one with a lower index, the ray separates from the normal one, so there is an angle for which the ray is refracted at 90º, the refractive equation is

           n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂

where θ₁ is the incident angle, n₂ and n₁ are the indexes of incident and refracted parts

let's calculate

         sin θ = n₂ / n₁

         sint θ = 1.3333 / 1.470

         sin θ = 0.907

         θ = sin⁻¹ 0.907

          θ = 65º

For the incident angle of 50.2º it is less than the critical angle, so the light is refracted according to the refraction equation

The gravitational potential energy of an object is equal to its weight multiplied by its
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Height above a surface

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy which an object possesses due to its position above a surface.

It is also the amount of work a force has to do in order to bring an object from a particular position to a point of reference.

It is given mathematically as:

P. E. = m*g*h

where m = mass of the body

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height above a surface

m*g represents the weight of the object.

Hence, Gravitational potential energy is the product of an object's weight and its height above a surface/reference point.

3. Suppose that an airplane flying 60 m/s, at a height of 300m, dropped a sack of flour (pere the effect
Arlecino [84]

469.24m. An airplane flying 60m/s at a height of 300m dropped a sack of flour that stack the ground 469.24m from the point of release.

This is a example of horizontal parabolic projectile motion,and we represents this motion in the coordinate axis, which means that the velocity has components in x axis and y axis.

The equation of components on the x axis.

v_{0}x=\frac{x}{t}, where x is the distance and Vox the initial velocity before the drop

The equation of components on the y axis.

y = v_{0}yt+\frac{gt^{2} }{2}, where y is the height, and the velocity in y component before the drop is 0, reducing the equation to y = \frac{gt^{2} }{2}

Clear t from both the equation of components on the x axis and the y axis:

t=\frac{x}{v_{0} x} and t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

Equating both equations and clearing the distance x:

\frac{x}{v_{0} x}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\x={v_{0} x}\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

Substituting the values:

x=60\frac{m}{s} \sqrt{\frac{2(300m)}{9.81\frac{m}{s^{2} } }}=469.24m
