Answer: 1.43

Explanation:

Given that:

C (critical angle) = 44.4°

n (refractive index of plastic) = ?

Apply the formula n = 1/sineC, the index of refraction for the plastic can be obtained by:

n = 1/sineC

n = 1/sine 44.4°

n = (1/0.6996)

n = 1.43

Thus, the index of refraction for the plastic is 1.43

A lamp is connected to the power supply.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

There are 45 turns in the secondary coil.

Explanation:

Given that,

Input potential of the lamp, $V_{in}=5\ V$

The output potential of the lamp, $V_{out}=1.5\ V$

Number of turns in primary coil, $N_P=150$

We need to find the number of turns needed on the secondary coil. We know that the ratio for a transformer is as follows :

$\dfrac{V_{out}}{V_{in}}=\dfrac{N_s}{N_P}\\\\N_s=\dfrac{V_{out}N_P}{V_{in}}\\\\N_s=\dfrac{1.5\times 150}{5}\\\\N_s=45\$

So, there are 45 turns in the secondary coil.
