Answer:

50 degrees

Explanation:

Usually in physics in solving such questions refractive index of air is taken as 1.00 (n=1.00) by assuming that air is a vacuum. Hence, the light ray passes from water to air at an angle of incident of 40 degrees, it means that it has angle of 50 degrees to the normal line.

A beam of light has a wavelength of 620 nm in vacuum.

crimeas [40]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of a beam of light in vacuum, $\lambda_o=620\ nm$

(a) Let v is the speed of light in a liquid whose index of refraction at this wavelength is 1.56.

We know that,

Refractive index,

$n=\dfrac{c}{v}\\\\v=\dfrac{c}{n}\\\\v=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{1.56}\\\\v=1.92\times 10^8\ m/s$

(b) The wavelength of light in material,

$\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_o}{n}$

Let $\lambda_1$ is the wavelength of these waves in the liquid. So,

$\lambda_1=\dfrac{\lambda_o}{n}\\\\\lambda_1=\dfrac{620\times 10^{-9}}{1.56}\\\\\lambda_1=3.97\times 10^{-7}\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

What has more thermal energy? A giant, frozen iceberg or a swimming pool filled with boiling water? Explain.

padilas [110]

Boiling water has a lot more heat than the oven's air (even though the air has a higher temperature). ... A match has a greater temperature than the iceberg because the average molecule in the match is moving faster than the average molecule in the iceberg
