Answer:

The deviation of a mirror is equal to twice the angle of incidence.The total angle between the straight-line path and the reflected ray is twice the angle of incidence. This is called the deviation of the light and measures the angle at which the light has strayed from its initial straight-line path.

Looking straight downward into a rain puddle whose surface is covered with a thin film of gasoline, you notice a swirling patter

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

Point beneath you forms a beautiful iridescent green

refractive index of Gasoline $n=1.38$

Wavelength of Green light is $\lambda =540\ nm$

Here light first traverse from air(n=1) to gasoline , it reflects from front surface of gasoline(n=1.38) so it suffers a phase change. After this light reflect from rear surface of gasoline and there is a decrease in refractive index(n=1.38 to n=1.33), so there is no phase change occurs .

For constructive interference

$2t=(m+\frac{1}{2})\cdot \frac{\lambda }{n}$

here t= thickness of gasoline film

n=refractive index

for $m=0$

$t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}$

$t=\frac{540}{4\times 1.38}$

$t=97.82\approx 98\ nm$

Should nuclear energy be part of sustainable energy future? explain your answer

liraira [26]

Answer:

Nuclear power is presently a sustainable energy source, but could become completely renewable if the source of uranium changed from mined ore to seawater. Since U extracted is continuously replenished through geologic processes, nuclear would become as endless as solar.

If the intensity level by 15 identical engines in a garage is 100 dB, what is the intensity level generated by each one of these

insens350 [35]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Sound Intensity.

By definition the intensity is given by the equation

$\beta = 10Log(\frac{I}{I_0})$
