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!!

If there is a huge boulder on your lawn and you want to determine its density, but it is
Olin [163]

There are different options here but all of them work by approximating and assuming.

i) that the boulder is above ground.

ii) that the bottom surface of the boulder is known.

iii) the shape of the boulder is taken into account.

The most accurate way is measuring it by displacement method but the boulder is immovable hence the volume can be calculated by measuring the boulder or a waterproof box to be built around the boulder and calculate the volume occupied by boulder.

All the above methods are estimating methods.

*Another way to find the density is through specific gravity.

S.G = <u>Density</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>object</u>

Density of water

If the material that makes the boulder is known that is if it's stone or a mineral then the specific gravity can be found.

If the boulder is purely rock then S.G lies between 3 - 3.5 and the density of water is known thus the density of the boulder can be found without moving the boulder.

This is what I think after correction and allthe best!

A boy on rollerskates is travelling along at 8 m/s. He has a mass of 60 kg and is carrying his
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

the original momentum = mass x velocity = 8x (60+10) = 560

momentum after = mass x velocity of the school bag + mass x velocity of the boy = 10x20 + 60x A

200+60A = 560

A=6

satellite is placed in an elongated elliptical (not circular) orbit around the Earth. At the point in its orbitwhere it is close
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a) v2=4147.72 m/s

b) stotal=5.53x10^6 m

Explanation:

a) the length from the center of the earth is equal to:

L1=1x10^6+((6.37/2)x10^6)=4.18x10^6 m

the velocity is 5.14 km/s=5.14x10^3 m/s

the farthest distance is equal to:

L2=2x10^6+((6.37/2)x10^6)=5.18x10^6 m

As the angular momentum is conserved, we have to:

I1=I2

m*L1*v1=m*L2*V2, where m is the mass of satelite

clearing v2:

v2=(L1*V1)/L2=(4.18x10^6*5.14x10^3)/5.18x10^6=4147.72 m/s

b) Using the Newton 3rd law:

vf^2=vi^2+2as

where:

a=g=9.8 m/s^2

vf=0

vi=5.14 km/s

s=?

Clearing s:

s=(vf^2-vi^2)/(2g)=((0-(5.14x10^3)^2)/(2*9.8)=1.35x10^6 m

the total distance is equal to:

stotal=s+L1=1.35x10^6+4.18x10^6=5.53x10^6 m
