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.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Argon to potassium ratio after 1 half life = 1:1

After 2 half lives = 75/25= 3:1

After 3 half lives = 87.5/12.5= 7:1

After 4 half lives = 93.75/6.25 = 15:1

After 5 half lives = 96.875/3.125 = 31/1

K = 1/2mv^2 of kinetic energy. The change in the object's kinetic energy is equal to the net work performed on it.

<h3>What causes the kinetic energy to change?</h3>

Equations. Mass and the square of the velocity are directly related to translational kinetic energy. The difference between the end and starting kinetic energies is known as change in kinetic energy.

<h3>In solar panels, is there kinetic energy?</h3>

employing semiconductor-cell-based panels. technique that uses solar thermal systems to store solar energy. This heat is used directly or transformed into concentrated solar power, or the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy of an object or system, and electricity.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A lateral eruptions or lateral blast is a volcanic eruption which is directed laterally from a volcano rather than upwards from the summit. Lateral eruptions are caused by the outward expansion of flanks due to rising magma. Breaking occurs at the flanks of volcanoes making it easier for magma to flow outward.
