Answer:

compared to the incident angle, the refracted angle is 45.56⁰

Explanation:

From Snell's law;

n₁sin(I) = n₂sin(r)

Where;

n₁ is the refractive index of light in medium 1 = 1.2

n₂ is the refractive index of light in medium 2 = 1.4

I is the incident angle

r is the refractive angle

n = \frac{1}{sin(I)}\\\\sin(I) = \frac{1}{n}\\\\sin(I) =\frac{1}{1.2}\\\\sin(I) =0.8333\\\\I = sin^-{(0.8333)

I = 56.439⁰

Applying snell's law

n_1sin(I) = n_2sin(r)\\\\sin(r) = \frac{n_1sin(I) }{n_2}\\\\sin(r) = \frac{1.2*sin(56.439) }{1.4}\\\\sin(r) = 0.714\\\\r = sin^-(0.714)\\\\r = 45.56^o

Therefore, compared to the incident angle, the refracted angle is 45.56⁰

Phantasy [73]

Greetings!

The correct answer choice is Choice 4.

<em>Why?</em>

In a scientific experiment the only thing being changed is the independent variable. Everything else should stay the same.

In this experiment, the independent variable is the amount of sunlight each plant should receive. <em>Here's a tip</em>- when looking for and independent variable look for whats being changed on purpose.

Hope this helps!

If a an object is traveling at a rate of 5 meters per second squared with a force of 10 Newtons, what is the mass of the object?
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

2 kg

Explanation:

Acceleration = 5 m/s^2

Force = 10 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 10 / 5

mass = 2 kg

How much power does a 2000 kg car need to accelerate from 20 m/s to 35 m/s in 7 seconds?
Alexus [3.1K]

firstly you get your acceleration with the formula, a=v-u/t. Then you use the formula for kinetic energy 1/2mv^2

then you can finally get the answer for power by dividing your previous answer by the time
