A certain electromagnetic wave traveling in seawater was observed to have an amplitude of 98.02 (V/m) at a depth of 10 m, and an

amplitude of 81.87 (V/m) at a depth of 100 m. What is the attenuation constant of seawater

Answer:

The  value is   \alpha =  0.002 Np/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The first amplitude of the wave is  E_{max}1 =  98.02 \  V/m

  The first  depth  is  D_1 =  10 \  m

   The second amplitude is  E_{max}2 =  81.87 \  (V/m)

   The second depth is D_2 = 100 \ m

Generally from the spatial wave equation we have

   v(x) =  Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x  + \phi_o)

=>       \frac{v(x)}{v(x)} =\frac{  Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x  + \phi_o)}{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x  + \phi_o)}

So considering the ratio of the equation for the  two depth

\frac{A}{A_S}  =  \frac{e^{-D_1 \alpha }}{e^{-D_2 \alpha }}

=>   \frac{98.02}{81.87}  =  \frac{e^{-10 \alpha }}{e^{-100 \alpha }}

=>   \alpha  =  \frac{0.18}{90}

=>    \alpha =  0.002 Np/m

When reaching a boundary between two media (1 and 2), an incident ray is partially reflected and partially refracted. The ray is
podryga [215]

Answer: critical angle, sin^-1 (n2/n1)

Explanation: the angle of incidence at which the retracted ray makes an angle of 90° with the normal is known as the critical angle.

Snell's law defined refraction mathematically as shown below

n1 sin θi = n2 sin θr

n1 = refractive index of the first medium

n2 = refractive index of the second medium

θi = angle of incidence

θr = angle of refraction

When the refrafted ray is perpendicular to the normal, the angle of refraction (θr) is 90° hence making the angle of incidence (θi) the critical angle θc

By substituting these conditions into the Snell's law, we have that

n1 sin θc = n2 sin 90

According to trigonometry, the value of sin 90 is 1, hence we have that

n1 sin θc =n2

sin θc = n2/n1

θc = sin^-1 (n2/n1)

What part of the atom is rutherford credited for discovering
kakasveta [241]

Rutherford is credited for discovering the nucleus of the atom. This occurred after he performed his famous gold foil experiment - by exposing a source of alpha particles to a gold foil to see how the particles deflected against the atoms of the foil, he discovered that the observed pattern only made sense when he considered the idea of a nucleus in this situation.
