At the interface of two transparent media, light ray experiences both refraction and reflection. Does the angle of reflection de

pend on the angle of refraction? Can you demonstrate the effect of total internal reflection using the rectangular block? Explain your answer and support your answer with a drawing. In which case the shift of the light beam passing through the transparent block equals zero?

Answer:

No, the angle of reflection is independent on the angle of refraction. The total internal reflection is when the angle of incidence is more than the critical angle.

Explanation:

No, the angle of reflection is independent on the angle of refraction. The angle of reflection is only affected by the angle of incidence.

The total internal reflection is when the angle of incidence (I) is more than the critical angle (C). When the light ray pass through the rectangular block, with time, a critical angle will be formed when the refracted ray is exactly 90 degrees to the normal. As soon as the angle of incidence is more than the critical angle, a total internal reflection is formed (as shown in the attached figure).

Radda [10]

Answer:

160J

Explanation:

Given force = 8N and total distance = 20 meters

Workdone = force x distance

= 8 x 20

= 160J

Therefore, workdone by Riley in pulling the hoover is 160J

When is the pressure of the man on the ground more – lying position or standing
Wittaler [7]

Hi,

<u>The man on the ground in standing position has more pressure</u>. This is because when he stands, only his legs are in contact with the ground. While lying, his body is more in contact with the ground, therefore, he exerts less pressure.

To the point, a man standing position on the ground had more pressure.

More is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforted.

Thank you...

The minimum frequency of light needed to eject electrons from a metal is called the threshold frequency, ν0. find the minimum en
shusha [124]
The energy carried by the incident light is
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency of the light. The threshold frequency is the frequency that corresponds to the minimum energy needed to eject the electrons from the metal, so if we substitute the threshold frequency in the formula, we get the minimum energy the light must have to eject the electrons:
E=hf=(6.63 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(5.64 \cdot 10^{14}s^{-1})=3.74 \cdot 10^{-19}J
