Answer:

correct option is B. 1.39

Explanation:

given data

angle of incidence (θ) = 54.2 degrees

to find out

index of refraction of the glass

solution

we know that here reflected beam is completely polarized

so angle of incidence = angle of polarized    ....................1

for reflective index we apply here Brewster law that is

μ = tan(θ)     ...............2

put here θ value we get

μ = tan(54.2)

μ = 1.386

so correct option is B. 1.39

Answer:

1.386

Explanation:

Angle of incidence, i = 54.2°

Let n be the refractive index of glass.

According to the Brewster's law

n = tan ip

where, ip is the polarising angle.

n = tan 54.2°

n = 1.386

Thus, the refractive index of glass is 1.386.

The y component of the electric field of an electromagnetic wave traveling in the +x direction through vacuum obeys the equation
Alexxx [7]

Answer: 8.6 µm

Explanation:

At a long distance from the source, the components (the electric and magnetic fields) of the electromagnetic waves, behave like plane waves, so the equation for the y component of the electric field obeys an equation like this one:

Ey =Emax cos (kx-ωt)

So, we can write the following equality:

ω= 2.2 1014 rad/sec

The angular frequency and the linear frequency are related as follows:

f = ω/ 2π= 2.2 1014 / 2π (rad/sec) / rad = 0.35 1014 1/sec

In an electromagnetic wave propagating through vacuum, the speed of the wave is just the speed of light, c.

The wavelength, speed and frequency, are related by this equation:

λ = c/f

λ = 3.108 m/s / 0.35. 1014 1/s = 8.6 µm.
