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

Physics
1 answer:
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 radio station's channel, such as 100.7 fm or 92.3 fm, is actually its frequency in megahertz (mhz), where 1mhz=106hz and 1hz=1
lapo4ka [179]
<span>In order to determine the wavelength, we use the wave equation:

speed = frequency * wavelength

speed of light c = 3 x 10</span>⁸<span> m/s

Frequency f = 104.1 MHz = 1.041 x 10</span>⁸ Hz<span>

c = f</span>λ
λ = c / f

λ = 3 x 10⁸ / 1.041 x 10⁸
λ = 2.88 meters

The wavelength of the waves is 2.88 meters.

Write a short description of how the motion of the racers might change from the start of the race to the finish line
Ad libitum [116K]
The motion of the racers might change from the start because the pressure goes up so all the racer wants is to speed up and win, so when the racer first starts he or she is calm because he's not driving yet and when he or she is on his/hers way to he finish line he/she just wants to win and gets under pressure so he speeds up even more and drifts.

Why is friction useful between your feet and the ground?
mixer [17]

Answer:

It allows you to walk faster.

Explanation:  

It is the same force that allows you to accelerate forward when you run. Your planted foot can grip the ground and push backward, which causes the ground to push forward on your foot. We call this grip type of friction, where the surfaces are prevented from slipping across each other, a static frictional force.

Now consider the statements in Part A that are inferred from models. A solar model is used to calculate interior conditions base
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

d. We can calculate it by applying Newton's version of Kepler's third law

Explanation:

The measurements of a Star like the Sun have several problems, the first one is distance, but the most important is the temperature since as we get closer all the instruments will melt. This is why all measurements must be indirect because of the effects that these variables create on nearby bodies.

Kepler's laws are deduced from Newton's law of universal gravitation, in these laws the mass of the Sun affects the orbit of the planets since it creates a force of attraction, if measured the orbit and the time it takes to travel it we can know the centripetal acceleration and with it knows the force, from where we clear the mass of the son.

Let's review the statements of the exercise

.a) False. We don't have good enough models for this calculation

.b) False. The size of the sun is very difficult to measure because it is a mass of gas, in addition the density changes strongly with depth

.c) False. The amount of light that comes out of the sun is not all the light produced and is due to quantum effects where the mass of the sun is not taken into account

.d) True. This method has been used to calculate the mass of the sun and the other planets since the variable distance and time are easily measured from Earth

Correct answer is D
