Answer:

62.8 degree

Explanation:

Let the incident ray incident at an angle \theta_1 at air glass surface.

\theta_3=42^{\circ}=Angle of refraction when ray travel from glass to water

\theta_2=Angle of refraction when the ray travel from air to glass

Refractive index of glass,n_2=1.6

We know that

Refractive index of water=n_3=1.33

Snell's law

n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2

Where \theta_1=Angle of incidence

\theta_2=Angle of refraction

n_1=Refractive index of medium 1

n_2=Refractive index of medium 2

When the ray travel from glass to water

n_2sin\theta_2=n_3sin\theta_3

Where n_2=Refractive index of medium 1(Glass)

n_3=Refractive index of medium 2 (Water)

\theta_2=Angle of incidence

\theta_3=Angle of refraction

Substitute the values

1.6sin\theta_2=1.33sin42

sin\theta_2=\frac{1.33sin42}{1.6}

sin\theta_2=0.556

\theta_2=sin^{-1}(0.556)=33.8^{\circ}

Angle of refraction when ray travel from air to glass= Angle of incidence of when ray travel from glass to water

Angle of refraction when the ray travel from air to glass=33.8 degree

Refractive index of air=n_1=1

Again apply Snell's law

n_1sin\thet_1=n_2sin\theta_2

1\times sin\theta_1=1.6sin(33.8)

sin\theta_1=1.6\times 0.556=0.8896

\theta_1=sin^{-1}(0.8896)=62.8^{\circ}

Hence, the angle of the incident ray at the air-glass interface=62.8 degree

Answer:

The angle of the incident ray at the air-glass interface is 62.86°

Explanation:

Given that,

Refractive index of glass =1.60

Angle = 42°

We need to calculate the angle of the incident ray at glass-water interface

Using Snell's law

n_{2}\sin\theta_{2}=n_{3}\sin\theta_{3}

Where, n_{2} = refractive index of glass

n_{3} = refractive index of water

\theta_{3} = angle of refraction

Put the value into the formula

1.6\sin\theta_{2}=1.33\sin42

\sin\theta_{2}=\dfrac{1.33\sin42}{1.6}

\theta_{2}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.33\sin42}{1.6})

\theta_{2}=33.8^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle of the incident ray at the air-glass interface

Using Snell's law

n_{1}\sin\theta_{1}=n_{2}\sin\theta_{2}

Where, n_{1} = refractive index of air

n_{2} = refractive index of glass

\theta_{1} = angle of incident

Put the value into the formula

1\sin\theta_{1}=1.6\sin33.8

\theta=\sin^{-1}(1.6\sin33.8)

\theta=62.86^{\circ}

Hence, The angle of the incident ray at the air-glass interface is 62.86°

How fast would you be going (in kmh) if you had a ship that accelerated at a constant 1g for 24 hours?
Nady [450]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 g is 9.8 m/s^2 the problem wants the results in km/h so we'll fix that really quick.

9.8 m/s^2 (1 km/1000m)(60 sec/1 min)^2(60 min/1 hour)^2 = 127008 km/hour^2

Now, I'm assuming the ship is starting from rest, and hopefully you know your physics equations.  We are going to use vf = vi + at.  Everything is just given, or we can assume, so I'll just solve.

vf = vi + at

vf = 0 + 127008 km/hour^2 * 24 hours

vf = 3,048,192 km/hour

If there's anything that doesn't make sense let me know.

A capacitor is charged until it holds 5.0 j of energy. it is then connected across a 10-kω resistor. in 13.6 ms , the resistor d
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The capacite is C=5.32 uF using the equations of voltage and energy in capacitance  

Explanation:

The energy holds is 5 J and the resistor dissipates 2J so the energy total is 3J

Using:

V_{t}= V_{o}e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }

Voltage in this case is the energy dissipated so

E_{t}= E_{o}e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }

\frac{\sqrt{E_t} }{\sqrt{E_o} } = e^{\frac{-t}{R*C} }

\frac{\sqrt{3 J} }{\sqrt{5J} } = e^{\frac{-13.6ms}{10kw*C} }

Using the equation to find capacitance

ln 0.775= e^{\frac{-13.6 x10^{3} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\ln(0.775)= ln * e^{\frac{-13.6 x10^{3s} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\\\ln(0.775)= {\frac{-13.6 x10^{3} }{10x10^{3}*C }} \\C= \frac{-13.6 x10^{-3} }{10x10x^{3}*ln(0.775) }

C= 5.32x10^{-6} F

C= 5.32 uF because u is the symbol for micro that is equal to 10^{-6}
