As light shines from air to another medium, i = 26.0 º. The light bends toward the normal and refracts at 32.0 º. What is the in
1 answer:
Explanation:
It is given that,
Angle of incidence from air to another medium, i = 26°
The angle of reflection, r = 32°
We need to find the refractive index of the medium. The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of reflection is called refractive index. It can be given by :
So, the index of refraction is 0.82. Hence, the correct option is C.

The equivalent resistance of n resistors connected in parallel is given by
(1)
In our problem, the resulting resistance of the 5 pieces connected in parallel is
, and since the 5 pieces are identical, their resistance R is identical, so we can rewrite (1) as
From which we find
.
So, each piece of wire has a resistance of
. Before the wire was cut, the five pieces were connected as they were in series. The equivalent resistance of a series of n resistors is given by
So if we apply it at our case, we have
therefore, the resistance of the original wire was
.
