The dashed line represents the<u> normal </u>to the boundary

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon that occurs when a ray of light crosses the interface between two mediums.

When this occurs, the ray of light changes direction and speed.

The new direction of the ray of light is given by Snell's law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1 is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of thre 2nd medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the direction of the incident ray and the normal to the boundary

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction, which is the angle between the direction of the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary

The index of refraction of a medium is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum (c) and the speed of light in that medium (v):

n=\frac{c}{v}

The figure in the question is missing, however you can find it in attachment.

We see that the dashed line is perpendicualr to the boundary between the two mediums, so it represents the normal.

So, the correct answer is

Normal

We note that in this case the ray of light bends towards the normal, this means that \theta_2, therefore the second medium has a larger index of refraction (n_2>n_1).

vivado [14]
His is a step down transformer since n(primary) is greater than n(seconcary). You relate the input voltage with the ouput voltage with the following equation: 

<span>Vout = n2/n1*Vin (n2/n1 is essentially your 'transfer function' that dictates what a specified input would produce) </span>

<span>Solving the equation: </span>

<span>Vin = Vout*n1/n2 = (320V)*(600/300) = 640 V </span>

<span>This is checked by seeing if Vin is greater than Vout, which it is for a step down transformer.</span>

A building is 512 m high. What must be the minimum water pressure in a pipe at ground level in order to get water out of a tap i
vivado [14]

Answer:

Pressure =  5 x 10⁶ Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Height of building = 512 m

Find:

Pressure

Computation:

P2 = P1+dgh

P2 = 1 + (1000)(9.8)(512)

P2 = 51.2 atm

Pressure =  5 x 10⁶ Pa
