What does a mu mean in physics

Physics
1 answer:
ivolga24 [154]3 years ago
3 0

'mu' is a letter in the Greek alphabet.  It looks like this:  μ
If you need labels for quantities or variables in math or science,
you can use any letter from any alphabet you like ... just be sure
to explain what the symbol stands for somewhere on the page
where the equation or formula is.

I've seen 'mu' used to stand for 'micro-' when writing units.
For example:

" μ-meter " ... one millionth of a meter

" μ-farad " ... one millionth of a farad

" μ-second " ... one millionth of a second

Explanation:

Let the east direction to be i^ and north direction be j^.

Thus displacement of the man   S=8i^+6j^

So, magnitude of displacement  ∣S∣=62+82=100=10 m

Which condition is necessary for total internal reflection? A. The refracted ray should lie along the boundary of the two media.
g100num [7]

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection, which is when light hits the boundary between two mediums and reflects back into its original medium:

Light is about to pass from a more optically dense medium (slower) to a less optically dense medium (faster).

The angle of incidence is greater than the defined critical angle for the two mediums, which is given by:

θ = sin⁻¹(n_{fast}/n_{slow})

Where θ = critical angle, n_{fast} = refractive index of faster medium, n_{slow} = refractive index of slower medium.

Choice C gives one of the above necessary conditions.
