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 ( $n_2>n_1$ ).

Imagine that heike onnes cooled mercury down to absolute zero and there was still resistance. would he have discovered supercond

likoan [24]

No, because superconductivity cannot occur if there is resistance

In addition to explaining electrical resistance, equilibrium distance theory also foretells the existence of superconductivity. According to its postulates, electrical resistivity decreases with distance from the equilibrium. There is only superconductivity at zero distance, with no resistance

<h3>What is Superconductivity ?</h3>

The ability of some materials to transmit electric current with virtually little resistance is known as superconductivity.

This ability has intriguing and maybe beneficial ramifications. Low temperatures are necessary for a material to exhibit superconductor behaviour. H. K. made the initial discovery of superconductivity in 1911.
Aluminum, magnesium diboride, niobium, copper oxide, yttrium barium, and iron pnictides are a few well-known examples of superconductors.

Alja [10]

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "B. color." The spectrum produced by a prism or a raindrop is evidence that the average speed of light in the material depends on the light's color. White light is being refracted into different colors.

For anti-ballistic missile system, the time of flight tf is determined by the initial speed v0 of the missile and the maximum ra

umka2103 [35]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The following discussion assumes a simplistic analysis that ignores air resistance and variations in the terrain that the missile travels over.

Let the launch velocity be V₀ at an angle of θ relative to the horizontal.
The horizontal component of velocity is V₀ cosθ.
If the time of flight is $t_{f}$ , then
$r=V_{o} \, t_{f}$
where r = the range of the missile.

Also, the time, t, when the missile is at ground level is given by
$0=V_{o} sin\theta \, t- \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$
where g = acceleration due to gravity.

t = 0 corresponds to when the missile is launched. Therefore
$t_{f} = \frac{2V_{o}sin\theta}{g}$

Therefore
$r= \frac{2V_{o}^{2} sin\theta cos\theta}{g} = \frac{V_{o}^{2} sin(2\theta)}{g}$

Typically, θ=45° to achieve maximum range, so that
$r= \frac{V_{o}^{2}}{g}$

This analysis is more applicable to a scud missile rather than a powered, guided missile.

Answer:
$t_{f} = \frac{r}{V_{o} cos\theta} \\\\ r= \frac{V_{o}^{2} sin(2\theta)}{g}$
Usually, θ=45°
