It's nighttime, and you've dropped your goggles into a 3.2-m-deep swimming pool. If you hold a laser pointer 1.2 m above the edg

e of the pool, you can illuminate the goggles if the laser beam enters the water 2.0 m from the edge.
How far are the goggles from the edge of the pool?

Answer:

Explanation:

Laser angle with water surface is given by: Tan α = 1/2.0= 0.5/

α = 26.56°

Laser angle with Normal = 90 - 26.56 = 63.44 °

Assuming a red laser, refractive index in water is 1.331.

Angle of refraction in water is given by:

Ref Ind = Sin i / Sin r

1.331 = Sin 63.44 / Sin r

Sin r = 0.8945 / 1.331 = 0.6721

Angle r = 42.22°

For the path in water:

Tan 42.22 = x / 3.2

x = 2.9m where x is the lateral displacement of the laser ince it hits the water

So the goggles are 2.0 + 2.9 = 4.9 m from edge of pool

How does the wavelength of a wave change when frequency decreases? when frequency increases?
Law Incorporation [45]

When the frequency decreases the wavelength is further apart. When it increases its closer together. Think about a flat line when the frequency is low the wavelengths are wider. When its a high frequency the squiggly lines on the moniter are taller and thinner so the wavelengths are not as wide and not that far from each other depending on how high the frequency is.

Why does the total amount of energy before and after<br> any energy transformations remain the same?
snow_tiger [21]

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that, in an isolated system, energy remains constant and can not be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another. This law was created by Julius Robert Mayer.

10. According to Newton's First Lawy , if a box is pushed with no external resistance, what will the action of the box be ?
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law of motion, if a box is pushed with no external resistance, the box will keep on moving due to the absence of external force. It might gets stopped due to frictional force that is acting between the surface and the ball. The first law of motion is also known as law of inertia. the magnitude of force acting on the object is given by second law of motion.
