When it comes to optics, Snell's law is the basic formula to be used. If you notice, when light hits the water, the light does not travel in the same direction. After, it hits the water, it changes in angle. Light becomes refracted. This is observed when your hands tend to become bigger if you place it underwater. The formula for Snell's Law is

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂sin θ₂, where n is the index of refraction. This depends on the type of medium. For example, for air, n=1. The parameters θ₁ is the angle of incidence, and θ₂ is the angle of refraction. Critical angle is the incident angle needed so that the refract angle is 90°. So, modifying the equation:

n₁ sin θcrit = n₂sin 90°, since sin 90°=1,
sin θcrit = n₂/n₁
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (n₂/n₁)

Since liquid comes first before glass, n₁=1.75 and n₂=1.52. Substituting,
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (1.52/1.75)
θcrit = 60.29°

Metal detectors work by transmitting an electromagnetic field from the search coil into the ground. Any metal objects (targets) within the electromagnetic field will become energised and retransmit an electromagnetic field of their own.

A wave has a wavelength of 7 mm and a frequency of 19 hertz. What is its speed?
ASHA 777 [7]

Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

Speed = (19 per second) x (7 mm)

Speed = (19 x 7) (per second · mm)

<em>Speed = 133 mm/sec</em>

or you might want to write  <em>Speed = 0.133 m/s</em> .

Solve 3.4 = 5.1(3.7x + 4.7) for x.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

3.4 = 18.87x + 23.97

collecting like terms

3.4 - 23.97 = 18.87x

-20.57 = 18.87x

dividing both sides by 18.87

x = -20.57/18.87

x= -1.09

A student says that the two terms speed and frequency of the wave refer to the same thing. What is your response?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

He is wrong!

Explanation:

Frequency refers to how many wave lengths pass in a second and speed is how fast the wave is traveling for example the speed of light goes really fast but has a mid-level frequency.

Hope this helps! ;-)
