A beam of light traveling through a liquid (of index of refraction n1 = 1.47) is incident on a surface at an angle of θ1 = 49° w

ith respect to the normal to the surface. It passes into the second medium and refracts at an angle of θ2 = 69.5° with respect to the normal.
Required:
a. Write an expression for the index of refraction of the second material.
b. Numerically, what is this index?
c. Numerically, what is the light's velocity in medium 1, in meters per second?
d. Numerically, what is the light's velocity in medium 2, in meters per second?

Answer:

a) n2=(n1sin1)(sin2)

b) 1.18

c) 201081632.7m/s

d) 254237288.1m/s

Explanation:

a) We can calculate the index of refraction of the second material by using the Snell's law:

n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2

n_2=\frac{n_1sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}

b) By replacing in the equation of a) we obtain:

n_2=\frac{(1,47)sin49\°}{sin69.5\°}=1.18

c) light velocity in the medium is given by:

v=\frac{c}{n_1}=\frac{3*10^{8}m/s}{1.47}=204081632.7\frac{m}{s}

d)

v=\frac{c}{n_2}=\frac{3*10^{8}m/s}{1.18}=254237288.1\frac{m}{s}

hope this helps!!

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Equation for SHM can be written

V = w A cos w t        where w is the angular frequency and the velocity is a                                         maximum at t = 0

V1 = w1  A cos w1 t

V2 = w2 A cos w2 t

V2 / V1 = w2 / w1     since cos X t = 1 if t = zero

V2 / V1 = 2 pi f2 / (2 pi f1) = f2 / f1 = T1 / T2

If the velocity is twice as large the period will be 1/2 long

How would you describe a fossil that was discovered in a rock at the base of a cliff to a fossil in a rock found at the top of a
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
The one at the base would be much older due to the law of super position, and the rock at the top would be much newer,again, due to the law of super position.
