Calculate the critical angle for light going from Glycerine to air.

Physics

Georgia [21]3 years ago
6 0
The refractive index for glycerine is n_g=1.473, while for air it is n_a = 1.00.

When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.473} )=42.8^{\circ}

A water wave has a speed of 23.0 meters/second. If the wave’s frequency is 0.0680 hertz, what is the wavelength?
tankabanditka [31]
     Using the Fundamental Equation of Wave, we have:

v=\lambda f \\ \lambda= \frac{23}{0.068}  \\ \boxed {\lambda \approx 338m}

You place a book on top of a spring and push down, compressing the spring by 10 cm. When you let go of the book, it is pushed up
enot [183]
At First, there is chemical Energy( in your muscels) which is Used to Push down the spring. This Energy becomes the Energy of the spring, which increases until you stop pushing. If you Put your hand away, the Energy of the spring will become kinetic energ. This Energy is at the highest Level the Moment the book ist Leaving the spring. Afterwards, the kinetic Energy decreases while the Gravitational Potential Energy increases.

Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the highest frequency?
Likurg_2 [28]

Explanation:

As we know that relation between energy and wavelength is as follows.

                  E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

This means that energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. So, more is the energy of an electromagnetic radiation less will be its wavelength.

Also,          f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

Hence, less will be the wavelength more will frequency of a radiation.

Gamma rays are the rays that have highest energy, small wavelength and highest frequency.

Thus, we can conclude that gamma rays are the electromagnetic radiation which has the highest frequency.

Which lists the main components of Darwin’s theory of evolution?
Nataliya [291]

Hi!


The correct option is B.


<h3>Explanation</h3>

Evolution is a biological phenomena which descries how the heritable characteristics of a species change over successive generations. These characteristics change as a result of a mutation, natural selection or genetic recombination (to list a few).

Darwin's theory of evolution explained how this phenomena occurs with respect to natural selection. The theory goes on to explain how a species diverges from a common ancestor into two or more different species (meaning different species may have common ancestor). This is a slow process as it can take thousands of years.


Hope this helps!
