Answer:

The angle of refraction for the ray moving through the liquid is = 32.3°

Explanation:

Refractive index of liquid (n₁/n₂) = sini/sinr

∴                 n₁/n₂ = sini/sinr ................ equation 1

n₁ = index of refraction for glass, n₂ = index of refraction for liquid

Where i = incident angle of the first medium, r = angle of refraction or angle in the second medium.

Since the light ray is traveling from glass - to - liquid,  the first medium is glass and the second medium is liquid. and the refractive index will be that liquid with respect to glass.

using the equation,

n₁/n₂ = sini/sinr

i = 35° , n₁ = 1.52, n₂= 1.63

Making sinr the subject of the equation above,

sinr = sini/(n₁/n₂)

sinr = sin35(1.52)/1.63

sinr =0.574(1.52)/1.63

sinr = 0.535

Taking the sin inverse of both side of the equation

sin⁻¹(sinr) = sin⁻¹(0.535)

∴ r = 32.3°

The angle of refraction for the ray moving through the liquid is = 32.3°

The right option is (b). 32.3°

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Wind the long piece of thin wire around the uniform glass rod multiple times, find the length of the total diameters using the metre ruler, and divide by the number of times you wound it around the rod.

Explanation:

Since the diameter of one long piece of thin wire is too thin to be measured by a metre ruler, you can wind it multiple times and push it side by side to get a length you can measure.

For example, if you wound it around 20 times and the total length of 20 diameters of the wire side-by-side is 2.0 cm, one winding, which is the diameter would be 2.0cm ÷ 20 = 0.10cm or 1mm.

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area. Capacitor 1 has a plate separation twice that of capacitor 2, and the qu
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

V_1=8 V_2

Explanation:

Given that:

  • Area of the plate of capacitor 1= Area of the plate of capacitor 2=A
  • separation distance of capacitor 2, d_2=d
  • separation distance of capacitor 1, d_1=2d
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 2, Q_2=Q
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 1, Q_1=4Q

We know that the Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance of separation.

Mathematically given as:

C=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}.....................................(1)

where:

k = relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates= 1 for air

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\,F.m^{-1}

From eq. (1)

For capacitor 2:

C_2=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}

For capacitor 1:

C_1=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}

C_1=\frac{1}{2} [ \frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}]

We know, potential differences across a capacitor is given by:

V=\frac{Q}{C}..........................................(2)

where, Q = charge on the capacitor plates.

for capacitor 2:

V_2=\frac{Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}}

V_2=\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

& for capacitor 1:

V_1=\frac{4Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}}

V_1=\frac{4Q\times 2d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

V_1=8\times [\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}]

V_1=8 V_2
