Answer:
The distance between the two spheres is 914.41 X 10³ m
Explanation:
Given;
4 X 10¹³ electrons, and its equivalent in coulomb's is calculated as follows;
1 e = 1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹ C
4 X 10¹³ e = 4 X 10¹³ X 1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹ C = 6.408 X 10⁻⁶ C
V = Ed
where;
V is the electrical potential energy between two spheres, J
E is the electric field potential between the two spheres N/C
d is the distance between two charged bodies, m
where;
K is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²
d = (8.99 X 10⁹ X 6.408 X 10⁻⁶)/0.063
d = 914.41 X 10³ m
Therefore, the distance between the two spheres is 914.41 X 10³ m
When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle of incidence above which light is reflected only (no refraction occurs), and the value of this critical angle is given by
where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.
In this problem, the first medium is the glass (
), while the second medium is oil (
), therefore the critical angle is given by
where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.
In this problem, the first medium is the glass (
