Suppose you are standing at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point to
Brut [27]

Answer:

It would point up.

Explanation:

Since I am at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward, the north pole of the compass would also point towards the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, since all other compasses point toward there.

Since the compass is free to swivel in any direction, the compass would point up, since it is at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward.

So, the compass would point up.

66 POINTS! Which is true about the four atoms shown in figures A, B, C, and D?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A and B are isotopes of one another but the same element

C and D are isotopes of one another but the same element

However, A and B have a different proton count than C and D, indicating different elements because the proton count is equivalent to the atomic number.

For a certain optical medium the speed of light varies from a low value of 1.90 × 10 8 m/s for violet light to a high value of 2
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

a. The refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56

b. 18.7° for violet light and 19.5° for red light.

c. 33.7° for violet light and 35.3° for red light.

Explanation:

a. The refractive index of an object is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in the object.

Mathematically,

n = \frac{c}{v}

The speed of violet light in the object is 1.9 * 10^8 m/s.

The speed of red light in the object is 2 * 10^8 m/s

Hence, the refractive index for violet light is:

n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{1.9 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.56

and for red light, it is:

n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{2 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.5

Hence, the refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56.

b. The refractive index is also the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction.

n = \frac{sin(i)}{sin(r)}

The angle of incidence is 30°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

1.56 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.56}  = \frac{0.5}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3205\\\\r = 18.7^o

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

1.5 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.5}  = \frac{0.5}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3333\\\\r = 19.5^o

The angle of refraction for red light is larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 30°.

c. The angle of incidence is 60°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

1.56 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.56}  = \frac{0.8660}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5551\\\\r = 33.7^o

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

1.5 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.5}  = \frac{0.8660}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5773\\\\r = 35.3^o

The angle of refraction for red light is still larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 60°.
