Answer:

θ = 41.8º

Explanation:

This is an internal total reflection exercise, the equation that describes this process is

         sin θ = n₂ / n₁

where n₂ is the index of the incident medium and n₁ the other medium must be met n₁> n₂

        θ = sin⁻¹ n₂ / n₁

let's calculate

       θ = sin⁻¹ (1.00 / 1.50)

       θ = 41.8º

Which of the following describes the principle of conservation of charge?
grigory [225]

Answer: The statement "The charge cannot be created or destroyed describes the principle of the conservation of charge".

Explanation:

According to the conservation of charge, the charge can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be transferred from one system to another.

In an isolated system, the total electric charge remains constant. The net quantity of electric  charge is always conserved in the universe.

Therefore, "the charge cannot be created or destroyed" describes the principle of the conservation of charge.

How do the positions of the sun and moon affect what people do?
Verdich [7]

-- The position of the sun was originally the primary influence in determining
when people went to sleep and when they woke up.  Although it no longer
directly influences us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in our make-up
that our behavior still largely coincides with the positions of the sun.

-- The position of the Moon was originally the primary influence in determining
the cycle of human female physiology.  Although it no longer directly influences
us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in human make-up that the female cycle
still largely coincides with the positions of the Moon.
