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

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

$n_2=\dfrac{0.5877}{0.4617}$

$n_2=1.27$

Tamiku [17]

The control setup in this experiment would be one tank that does not contain any of the additives. Since the tanks with the gasoline additives would need to be compared with a tank that is not affected by the results of these additives.

A large, cylindrical water tank with diameter 3.60 m is on a platform 2.00 m above the ground. The vertical tank is open to the

zysi [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the geometry of a cylindrical tank and its respective definition.

The volume of a tank is given by

$V = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h$

Where

d = Diameter

h = Height

Considering that there are two stages, let's define the initial and final volume as,

$V_0 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H$

$V_f = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h$

We know as well by definition that

$1gal = 3.785*10^{-3}m^3$

Then we have for the statement that

$V_f = V_0 -1gal$

$V_f = V_0 - 3.785*10^{-3}$

Replacing the previous data

$\frac{\pi d^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H- 3.785*10^{-3}$

$\frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}(2)- 3.785*10^{-3}$

Solving to get h,

$h = 1.99963m$

Therefore the change is

$\Delta h = H-h$

$\Delta h = 2- 1.99963$

$\Delta h = 3.7*10^{-4}m=0.37mm$

Therefore te change in the height of the water in the tank is 0.37mm
