A ray of laser light travels through air and enters an unknown material. The laser enters the material at an angle of 36 degrees

to the normal. The refracted angle is 27.5 degrees. If the index of refraction of air is n = 1.00, what is the index of refraction of the unknown material?

Answer:1.27

Explanation:

Given

incident angle i=36^{\circ}

refracted angle r=27.5^{\circ}

Suppose n_2 is the refractive index of material then using Snell's law we  can write

n_1\sin i=n_2\sin r

where n_1=refractive index of air

1\times \sin (36)=n_2\times \sin (27.5)

n_2=\dfrac{0.5877}{0.4617}

n_2=1.27

Answer:

Gamma rays occupy the short-wavelength end of the spectrum; they can have wavelengths smaller than the nucleus of an atom. Visible light wavesare one-thousandths the width of human hair--about a million times longer than gamma rays. Radio waves, at the long-wavelength end of the spectrum, can be many meters long.

What is the mass of metal if it has a density of 12.459 hg/cm^3 and displaces 28.7cm^3 of water ​
natima [27]

Answer:

357.6g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Density  = 12.459g/cm³

Volume of metal  = 28.7cm³

Unknown:

Mass of metal = ?

Solution:

The density of a substance is its mass per unit volume.

To find the mass;

     Mass of metal  = density x volume

Now insert the parameters and solve;

    Mass of metal  = 12.459 x 28.7  = 357.6g

A video game includes an asteroid that is programmed to move in a straight line across a 17-inch monitor according to the equati
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The asteroid's acceleration at this point is 2.71\ m/s^2

Explanation:

The equation that governs the trajectory of asteroid is given by :

x=6.5t-2.3t^3

The velocity of asteroid is given by :

v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\v=\dfrac{d(6.5t-2.3t^3)}{dt}\\\\v=6.5-6.9t^2

At some point during the trip across the screen, the asteroid is at rest. It means, v = 0

So,

6.5-6.9t^2=0\\\\t=0.971\ s                      

Acceleration,

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}\\\\a=\dfrac{d(6.5-6.9t^2)}{dt}\\\\a=-13.8t                        

Put t = 0.971 s

a=-13.8\times 0.197\\\\a=-2.71\ m/s^2

So, the asteroid's acceleration at this point is 2.71\ m/s^2 and it is decelerating.
