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.

Answer:

Time taken for trip = 12.74 hour (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of trip = 710-mi

Average speed for the trip = 55.7 mi/h

Find:

Time taken for trip = ?

Computation:

⇒ Time = Distance / Speed

⇒ Time taken for trip = Distance of trip / Average speed for the trip

⇒ Time taken for trip = 710-mi / 55.7 mi/h

⇒ Time taken for trip = 12.74 hour (Approx)
