The smallness of the critical angle θc for diamond means that light is easily "trapped" within a diamond and eventually emerges

from the many cut faces. This makes a diamond more brilliant than stones with smaller n and larger θc. Traveling inside a diamond, a light ray is incident on the interface between diamond and air. What is the critical angle for total internal reflection? The refraction index for diamond is 2.23 . Answer in uni

Answer:

26.6°

Explanation:

refractive index of diamond, n = 2.23

When a ray of light passes from denser medium to the rarer medium and refracts at an angle of 90 degree from the normal of the surface, such angle of incidence in the denser medium is called the critical angle.

By the Snell's law

$\frac{Sini}{Sin r }= n$

For critical angle, angle of incidence is critical angle, i = θc and angle of refraction, r = 90

So,

Sin θc / Sin 90 = 1 / 2.23

Sin θc = 0.448

θc = 26.6°

Thus, the critical angle is 26.6°.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

$s=5.79\ km$

$\theta=47^{\circ}$ east of south

Explanation:

Given:

distance of the person form the initial position, $d'=8.4\ km$

direction of the person from the initial position, $47^{\circ}$ north of east

distance supposed to travel form the initial position, $d=5.3\ km$

direction supposed to travel from the initial position, due North

<u>Now refer the schematic for visualization of situation:</u>

$y=d'.\sin47^{\circ}-d$

$y=8.4\times \sin47-5.3$ ...............(1)

$x=d'.\cos47^{\circ}$

$x=8.4\times \cos47^{\circ}$ .................(2)

<u>Now the direction of the desired position with respect to south:</u>

$\tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}$

$\tan\theta=\frac{8.4\times \sin47}{8.4\times \cos47}$

$\theta=47^{\circ}$ east of south

<u>Now the distance from the current position to the desired position:</u>

$s=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

$s=\sqrt{(8.4\times \cos47)^2+(8.4\times \sin47-5.3)^2}$

$s=5.79\ km$

An organ pipe open at both ends has two successive harmonics with frequencies of 220 Hz and 240 Hz. What is the length of the pi

Harman [31]

Answer:

The length is $l = 8.6 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frequencies of the two successive harmonics are $f_1 = 220 \ Hz$ , $f_2 = 240 \ Hz$

The speed of sound in the air is $v_s = 343 \ m/s$

Generally the frequency of a given harmonic is mathematically represented as

$f_n = \frac{n v }{2l}$

Here n defines the position of the harmonics

Now since the position of both harmonic is not know but we know that they successive then we can represented them mathematically as

$220 = \frac{n v}{2l}$

and

$240 = \frac{(n+1) v}{2l}$

So

$\frac{(n + 1 ) v}{2l} - \frac{n v}{2l} = 240-220$

=> $\frac{v}{2l} = 20$

=> $l = 8.6 \ m$

Based on what you learn about jovian moons by watching the videos or reading your textbook, what types of evidence for recent or

Valentin [98]

Answer:

b. craters, river valleys feeding into surface lakes of very cold liquids

Explanation:

Jovian moons are the four largest satellites like the moon of the Jupiter ie the Lo, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto and were first seen by the galileo. They are amiugly the largest moons with radii larger than the dwarf planet.

Lo has more than 400 active volcanoes and dotted more than 100 mountains and has an extremely thin atmosphere made up of sulfur dioxide. The Europa has deep oceans of liquid water, and the layer of ice, and are characteristic of the tidal heating.

<u>While the surface of Callisto is heavily cratered and has salty liquid water.</u>
