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).

Describe how light is used in modern forms of communication.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:Visible light communication (VLC) is a wireless method that uses light emitted by LEDs to deliver networked, mobile, high-speed communication similar to Wi-Fi, leading to the term Li-Fi. It can be used as standalone solution or in a supplementary role to radio-frequency (RF) or cellular network communication

A Texas cockroach of mass 0.157 kg runs counterclockwise around the rim of a lazy Susan (a circular disk mounted on a vertical a
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

-7.23 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the cockroach, m = 0.157 kg

Radius of the disk, r = 14.9 cm = 0.149 m

Rotational Inertia, I = 5.92*10^-3 kgm²

Speed of the cockroach, v = 2.92 m/s

Angular velocity of the rim, w = 3.89 rad/s

The initial angular momentum of rim is

Iw = 5.92*10^-3 * 3.89

Iw = 2.3*10^-2 kgm²/s

The initial angular momentum of cockroach about the axle of the disk is

L = -mvr

L = -0.157 * 2.92 * 0.149

L = -0.068 kgm²/s

This means that we can get the initial angular momentum of the system by summing both together

2.3*10^-2 + -0.068

L' = -0.045 kgm²/s

After the cockroach stops, the total inertia of the spinning disk is

I(f) = I + mr²

I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 0.157 * 0.149²

I(f) = 5.92*10^-3 + 3.49*10^-3

I(f) = 9.41*10^-3 kgm²

Final angular momentum of the disk is

L'' = I(f).w(f)

L''= 9.41*10^-3w(f)

Using the conservation of total angular momentum, we have

-0.068 = 9.41*10^-3w(f) + 0

w(f) = -0.068 / 9.41*10^-3

w(f) = -7.23 rad/s

Therefore, the speed of the lazy Susan after the cockroach stops is -7.23 and is directed in the opposite direction of the initial lazy Susan angular speed

b)

The mechanical energy of the cockroach is not converted as it stops

A large truck is moving at 22.0 m/s. if its momentum is 125,000 kg • meters per second, what is the truck's mass? 176 kg 2750 kg
solong [7]

The  mass of the large truck is determined as 5680 kg.

<h3>Mass of the truck</h3>

The mass of the truck is calculated as follows;

P = mv

where;

  • P is momentum
  • m is mass
  • v is velocity

m = P/v

m = 125000/22

m = 5680 kg

Thus, the  mass of the large truck is determined as 5680 kg.

A solid disk of radius 5.50 cm and mass 1.25 kg , which is rolling at a speed of 1.50 m/s , begins rolling without slipping up a
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Deceleration of solid disk = g sin10/1 + k²/r² = g sin 10 / 1 + 1/2 = g sin 10 x 2/3

[ k is radius of gyration of disk which is equal to( 1/√2)x r ]

deceleration a = -1.1345 m/s²

v = u - at , t = u / a = 1.5 / 1.1345 = 1.322 s.
