A tank holds a 1.44-m thick layer of oil that floats on a 0.98-m thick layer of brine. Both liquids are clear and do not intermi

x. Point O is at the bottom of the tank, on a vertical axis. The indices of refraction of the oil and the brine are 1.40 and 1.52, respectively. A ray originating at O crosses the brine-oil interface at a point 0.7 m from the axis. The ray continues and emerges into the air above the oil. What is the angle that the ray in the air makes with the vertical axis

Answer:

Angle of ray makes with the vertical is 62.1 degree

Explanation:

As per the ray diagram we know that the angle of incidence on oil brine interface will be given as

tan\theta_i = \frac{0.7}{0.98}

\theta_i = 35.5^0

now by Snell'a law at that interface we have

\mu_1 sin\theta_i = \mu_2 sin \theta_r

now we will have

1.52  sin35.5 = 1.40 sin\theta_r

\theta_r = 39.12^0

now this is the angle of incidence for oil air interface

so now again by Snell's law we will have

\mu_2 sin\theta_i' = \mu_{air} sin\theta

1.40 sin39.12 = 1 sin\theta

\theta = 62.1^0

Heat can only move one way. What way is that?
Gre4nikov [31]
<span>
The only one way that heat can move is: From higher temperature
to lower temperature, never the other way.

Examples:
 
-- When you put an ice cube into a glass of warm soda, heat never moves
out of the ice cube into the soda, making the soda warmer.</span>

-- When you mix cold water with warm water, heat never moves out of the
cold water into the warm water, causing ice to appear and the warm water
to get warmer.

-- When you blow your breath across a spoonful of hot soup, the soup
never draws heat out of your breath, chilling your breath and boiling the
soup on the spoon.

-- When you step into a warm steaming bubble bath, heat never moves
from your body into the hot bath, causing your tootsies to shiver and the
bath to get even hotter.

jonny [76]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The change in momentum of x has to be the opposite of the change in momentum of Y because the momentum is just transferred from one to another. But I'm still trying to figure it out how to calculate.

Energy is always conserved. It cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be transferred between objects or systems, from
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Have in mind: Energy is always conserved and, (...) be transferred between objects or systems, from one form to another.

Hence, the true relation is C, when a system gains kinetic energy, it loses potential energy.

Think about this,

K + P = constant

If K increases, then P need to decreases to holds the above relation.
