Why do you think a clothes dryer requires a 220-volt outlet, while a toaster only requires a 110-volt outlet?

1 answer:

3 0

A toaster needs a 110-volt outlet because it doesn’t need too much electricity. Electricity can be converted to heat, and toaster only needs to be heated and nothing else that requires extra electricity while clothes dyer requires higher voltage because it needs more effort and electricity in order to do its function.

Determine the index of refraction of glass that is struck by unpolarized light at 53.8 degrees and resulting in a fully polarize

nignag [31]

Answer:

The refractive index of glass, $\mu_{g} = 1.367$

Solution:

Brewster angle is the special case of incident angle that causes the reflected and refracted rays to be perpendicular to each other or that angle of incident which causes the complete polarization of the reflected ray.

To determine the refractive index of glass:

$tan\theta_{P} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{\mu_{a}}$ (1)
