A light beam is traveling through an unknown substance. When it strikes a boundary between that substance and the air (nair≈1),

the angle of reflection is 29.0∘ and the angle of refraction is 39.0∘. What is the index of refraction n of the substance?

Answer:

0.7707

Explanation:

From Snell's law,

n(1) * sin θ1 = n(2) * sinθ2

Where n(1) = refractive index of air = 1.0003

θ1 = angle of incidence

n(2) = refractive index of second substance

θ2 = angle of refraction

The angle of reflection through the unknown substance is the same as the angle of incidence of air. Thus this means that θ1 = 29°

=> 1.0003 * sin29 = n(2) * sin39

n(2) = (1.0003 * sin29) / sin39

n(2) = 0.7707

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

1/i + 1/o = 1/f     thin lens equation

i = 33 * 8.9 / (33 - 8.9) = 12.2 cm  to right of first lens

27 - 12.2 = 14.8 cm to left of second lens

i = 14.8 * 8.9 / (14.8 - 8.9) = 22,3 cm to right of second lens

Which explanations provide support for continental drift theory? Check all that apply.

<h3><u>Full Question:</u></h3>

Which explanations provide support for continental drift theory? Check all that apply.

Dinosaurs lived on many continents.

Coal fields match up across continents.

Tropical plant fossils were found in Arctic areas.

Similar rock types are found across continents.

Evidence of glaciers can be found in South Africa.

Coal fields match up across continents.

Similar rock types are found across continents.

Tropical plant fossils were found in Arctic areas.

Evidence of glaciers can be found in South Africa.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The way the continents on the earth shifts its position is explained by the Continental drift theory. Alfred Wegener was the one who fist proposed this theory in 1912. This theory also explains how similar rocks are formed on the different continents and also  the reason why some of the animal and plant fossils looks similar.

The evidences that supports the continental drift theory can be Coal fields match up across continents. Fossils of Glossopteris supports the  theory of continental drift with coal fields  and coastlines . The land features, climate changes are some of the evidences that also supports the theory of continental drift.The evidences of the glaciers that can be found in South Africa also supports the explanation of the continental drift.
