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°

An incompressible fluid flows at .252 m/s through a 44 diameter (circular cross section) pipe. The pipe widens to a square cross
Serggg [28]

ANSWER:

The easiest way to get a fairly accurate measure of your water flow rate is to time yourself filling up a bucket. So for example if you fill up a 10 litre bucket in 1.5 minutes, then your flow rate will be: 10/1.5 = 6.66 Litres per minute.

Why do sound engineers use spongy materials in the walls? (1 point)
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

o to increase the frequency of sound waves. It increases the sound waves to a level of frequency that humans cannot hear so you won't be able to hear many things though the wall other then low noises like pounding.

Explanation:

I am in construction class as well as a student teacher for other construction type programs trust me :D

An 7.5 × binocular has 3.7-cm-focal-length eyepieces. What is the focal length of the objective lenses? Express your answer to t
elixir [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of magnification, which is given as the relationship between the focal length of the eyepieces and the focal length of the objective. This relationship can be expressed mathematically as,

\mu = \frac{f_0}{f_e}

Here,

\mu = Magnification

f_e = Focal length eyepieces

f_0 = Focal length of the Objective

Rearranging to find the focal length of the objective

f_0 = \mu f_e

Replacing with our values

f_0 = 7.5* 3.7cm

f_0 = 27.75cm

Therefore the focal length of th eobjective lenses is 27.75cm
