Answer:

  n = 2.0686

Explanation:

When an unpolarized ray of light is reflected on a surface, the reflected ray is partially polarized, complete polarization occurs when it is true that between the transmitted and reflected ray one has 90, the relationship is

        n = so tea

 let's calculate

        n = tan 64.2

        n = 2.0686

Is it possible for a gas contained in a chamber to maintain a constant temperature while heat is being added to the gas? Explain
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:Yes

Explanation:

Yes it is possible for a gas contained in a chamber to maintain a constant temperature while heat is being added to the gas.A process in which temperature of the gas remains constant is called Isothermal Process.For an ideal internal energy is a function of temperature therefore internal energy remains constant while all the heat added is converted to do the work done by the system.

DIA [1.3K]
Spring tides will occur during a full moon and an new moon. The sun and moon are on a certain angle causing these tides to be neap tides, they aren't high tide nor are they low tides so you would verbalize they are in between and that is why it is called neap tides as well.
