Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that Colombian force between similar charges is repulsive in nature. Therefore, it means that the direction of force experienced by the charges in North and East will be South and West respectively.

As a result, this means that the forces are going to be towards the south-west direction.

Thus, we can conclude that if you are holding a positive charge and there are positive charges of equal magnitude 1 m to your north and 1 m to your east. The direction of the force on the charge you are holding should be in south-west direction.

Answer:

Law of refraction

Explanation:

An experiment to analyze the refraction of light in water can easily be performed with a laser pointer and protractor.

We throw the fishing rod line into the water, place the protractor at the point where the line touches the water and use the direction of the line for the direction of the laser pointer (on), the laser is visible by the reflection on the particles in the air.

The vertical line is called Normal and all angles must be measured with respect to this reference in optics.

Having these angles and the refractive index of water we can use the law of refraction

         n₁ sin θ₁  = n₂ sin θ₂

         θ₂ = sin^{-1} ( \frac{n_1}{n_2} \ sin \ \theta_1 )

we can repeat several times to analyze several different input points (different angles) and to decrease the errors in the measurements.

the refractive index of air is n1 = 1 and n2= 1.33  (water)
