Answer:

θ_c = 36.87°

Explanation:

Index of refraction for index medium; n_i = 2

Index of refraction for Refractive medium; n_r = 1.2

Formula to find the critical angle is given;

n_i(sin θ_c) = n_r(sin 90)

Where θ_c is critical angle.

Thus;

2 × (sin θ_c) = 1.2 × 1

(sin θ_c) = 1.2/2

(sin θ_c) = 0.6

θ_c = sin^(-1) 0.6

θ_c = 36.87°

When waves of equal amplitude from two sources are in phase when they interact, it is called ________.?
8090 [49]
The answer is constructive interference. At the point when two waves meet such that their peaks line up together, then it's called productive obstruction. The subsequent wave has a higher adequacy. In dangerous obstruction, the peak of one wave meets the trough of another, and the outcome is a lower add up to adequacy.

scZoUnD [109]
<span>Generally speaking, the level of molecular motion is highest in gases, where molecules move around freely in space, bouncing off of each other, and lowest in solids, where molecules are bound together in a rigid structure. As such, the answer would be A; "the molecules in air move more than the molecules in wood".</span>
