Explanation:
(a)
Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.
Using Snell's law as:
Where,
is the angle of incidence
is the angle of refraction = 90°
is the refractive index of the refraction medium
is the refractive index of the incidence medium
Thus,
The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:
Where,
is the critical angle
(b)
No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.
A path of inferences guided to be cherry picked as for which ones were reasonable and which ones had no ability in the real world to sustain in scientific law
The correct answer is decreases
The further away you are the weaker it would be. That's why at one point you stop being in the field and ti doesn't pull you towards it anymore. Proportionally, if you move towards the Earth then it increases.
Answer:
Width = 680 [m]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must know the speed of sound in the air, conducting an internet search, we find that this speed has a value of v = 340 [m/s].
We apply the following kinematic equation, which relates space to time, to define speed.
v = x /t
where:
x = distance [m]
t = time [s]
v = velocity [m/s]
Now replacing:
x = 340 * 4
x = 1360 [m]
But the width of the cannon is calculated when the sound wave hits the wall of the canyon, so this width is half the distance.
Width = 1360 / 2 = 680 [m]
