What is the critical angle of a light beam passed from a medium (n=2) to a medium (n=1.2)?

Physics

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°

4. A high school athlete runs 400 m in 52.20 sec. What is his speed in mph?<br> 14100<br> 1110
Serggg [28]

Answer:

28,800m/p second

Explanation:

Calculate the distance per second so, 400m/50 s= 8m/p second now knowing the speed/hour and knowing an hour has 3,600 seconds,multiply it by 8 then you will get 28,800m/p second, or 28.8km/h

What is the smallest separation between two slits that will produce a second-order minimum for 762 nm red light?
ipn [44]

Answer:

1524 nm.

Explanation:

Angular separation of n th minima is given by the expression

Sin θ = n λ / a

Where λ is wavelength of light used and a is separation between two slits .

a = n λ / sin θ

For a to be minimum, sinθ has to be maximum .

maximum value of sin of any angle is 1 .

so the relation becomes as follows

a = n λ

n = 2 , λ = 762 nm.

a = 2 x 762 nm

= 1524 nm.
