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!!

You are watching a magic show. For one trick the magician rolls a ball down a hill. Suddenly the ball stops moving down the hill
poizon [28]
The forces (what causes the ball to accelerate) are gravity, friction, and the normal force. In this case, gravity is a downward force caused by the gigantic mass of the Earth and the mass of the ball. Keep in mind that a force is acceleration. Acceleration is a change in velocity. The ball speeds up. Than it stops speeding up at a certain point where the frictional force (along with air friction) equals the parallel component of gravity. 




Newton's Second Law States- The greater mass of an object, the more force it will take to accelerate the object.

user100 [1]

Answer:

4.2 is the answer

Explanation

The image formed in a plane mirror is an equal distance behind the mirror as the object in front of it.

Step 1: the equation to this problem would be: 8.4/2

Step 2: 8.4 ÷ 2 = 4.2

You measure a watch's hour and minute hands to be 7.4 mm and 12.1 mm long, respectively. Part A In one day, by how much does the
pychu [463]

Answer:

109.385m

Explanation:

In 1 day, the hour hand travels 2 circles, or 4π rad in angular. The distance it travels is its angle times the radius

7.4 * 4π = 93 mm

In 1 day, the minute hand travels 24*60 = 1440 circles, or 1440 * 2π = 2880π rad in angular. The distance it travels is

12.1 * 2880π = 109478 mm

So the distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand that exceed the distance traveled by the tip of the hour hand is

109478 - 93 = 109385 mm or 109.385 m

Two spheres have identical charges and are 75 cm apart. the force between them is +0.30 n. what is the magnitude of the charge o
ella [17]

Answer:

4.33\cdot 10^{-6}C, charges are both positive or both negative

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between the two spheres is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges on the two spheres

r is the distance between the centres of the two spheres

In this problem, we have

F=+0.30 N is the force

r=75 cm=0.75 m is the distance between the spheres

q_1 =q_2 =q because the two spheres have identical charge

Solving the formula for q, we find

q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(+0.30 N)(0.75 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9}}=4.33\cdot 10^{-6}C

And the two charges have the same sign (so, both positive or both negative), since the sign of the force is positive (+0.30 N), so it is a repulsive force.
