Light rays in a material with index of refraction 1.31 can undergo total internal reflection when they strike the interface with

another material at a critical angle of incidence. Find this material\'s index of refraction when the required critical angle is 78.3°.

Answer:

The refractive index of the material is 1.28.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Refractive index of medium 1, n₁ = 1.31

Critical angle, \theta_c=78.3

At critical angle rays will reflects at 90 degrees. Using Snell's law as:

n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2

At critical angle, n_1sin\ \theta_c=n_2\ sin90

n_1sin\ \theta_c=n_2

n_2=1.31\times sin(78.3)

n_2=1.28

So, the refractive index of the material is 1.28. Hence, this is the required solution.

C= 5/9 (F−32) The equation above shows how temperature F, measured in degrees Fahrenheit, relates to a temperature C, measured i
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

option d) is correct

Explanation:

Given:

C = (5/9)(F-32)

For statement I

C = (5/9)F - (5/9)32

let the initial temperature in Fahrenheit  be 0

thus,

C = (5/9)(0) - (5/9)32 = - (5/9)32

for 1° increase in Fahrenheit

we get

C = (5/9)(1) - (5/9)32 = 1 - (5/9)32

thus,

on comparing the results, statement I is true

now for statement II

let the initial temperature in Celsius  be 0

thus,

0 = (5/9)(F) - (5/9)32

or

F =  (9/5)(5/9)32 = 32

for 1° increase in Celsius

we get

1 = (5/9)(F) - (5/9)32

or

(5/9)F = 1 + (5/9)32

or

F = (9/5) + 32

or

F = 1.8 + 32

thus,

on comparing the results, statement II is true

Now, for statement III

let the initial let the initial temperature in Fahrenheit  be 0

thus,

C = (5/9)(0) - (5/9)32 = - (5/9)32 = - 17.77

for (5/9)° increase in Fahrenheit

we get

C = (5/9)(5/9) - (5/9)32 = (0.3086) - 17.77 = -17.469

thus,

on comparing the results, statement III is false

Hence, option d) is correct
