Answer:
Explanation:
Let i be the angle of incidence and r be the angle of refraction .
From the figure
Tan ( 90 - i ) = 2.5 / 8
cot i = 2.5 / 8
Tan i = 8 / 2.5 = 3.2
i = 72.65°
From snell's law
sini / sin r = refractive index
sin 72.65 / sinr = 1.333
sin r = .9545 / 1.333
= .72
r = 46⁰
From the figure
Tan r = d / 4
Tan 46 = d /4
d = 4 x Tan 46
= 4 x 1.0355
=4.14 m .
Answer:
They are the same
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of perpendicular oscillations of electric and magnetic field, which oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). One property of the electromagnetic waves is that they travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, called speed of light:
Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency; from highest to lowest frequency, we have:
Gamma rays
X-rays
Ultraviolet
Visible light
Infrared
Microwaves
Radio waves
We see that both visible light and gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, so they both travel in a vacuum at the same speed, the speed of light.
