Answer:

$49.7^{\circ}$

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Snell's law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

n1 = 1.33 is the index of refraction of the first medium (water)

n2 = 1.00 is the index of refraction of the second medium (air)

$\theta_1 = 35^{\circ}$ is the angle of incidence of the wave in water

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction of the wave in air

Solving for the angle of refraction,

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1 sin \theta_1}{n_2}=\frac{(1.33) sin 35^{\circ}}{1.00}=0.763\\\theta_2 = sin^{-1} (0.763)=49.7^{\circ}$

Answer: Some challenges that I could see would be the walls, possibly a moat, tar, and the towers.

Explanation: The wall is obliviously a main problem, trying to get over it or through it is a difficult challenge. The moat (if it has one) means that there is more than likely only one way to get in or out. If it does have tar it means that the attackers are going to be put in a "sticky situation" And finally the towers, they have people at the top shooting arrows down at you, or throwing things at you.

What is the correct answer?

sashaice [31]

Answer:

D) 4

Explanation:

Roots of a polynomial must be factors of the last term.

In this case, the factors of 6 are +1, -1, +2, -2, +3, -3, +6, -6. The only factor that doesn't show up, given the options, is 4. This means that D is the correct answer.

Light rays from stars bend toward smaller angles as they enter Earth's atmosphere. a. Explain why this happens using Snell's law

Grace [21]

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

In option (a):

The principle of Snells informs us that as light travels from the less dense medium to a denser layer, like water to air or a thinner layer of the air to the thicker ones, it bent to usual — an abstract feature that would be on the surface of all objects. Mostly, on the contrary, glow shifts from a denser with a less dense medium. This angle between both the usual and the light conditions rays is referred to as the refractive angle.
Throughout in scenario, the light from its stars in the upper orbit, the surface area of both the Earth tends to increase because as light flows from the outer atmosphere towards the Earth, it defined above, to a lesser angle.

In option (b):

Rays of light, that go directly down wouldn't bend, whilst also sun source which joins the upper orbit was reflected light from either a thicker distance and flex to the usual, following roughly the direction of the curve of the earth.
Throughout the zenith specific position earlier in this thread, astronomical bodies appear throughout the right position while those close to a horizon seem to have been brightest than any of those close to the sky, and please find the attachment of the diagram.
