When light passes from a more-dense to a less-dense medium—from glass to air, for example—the angle of refraction predicted by S

nell's Law can be 90° or larger. In this case the light beam is actually reflected back into the denser medium. This phenomenon, called total internal reflection, is the principle behind fiber optics. Snell's Law is given below. sin(θ1) sin(θ2) = v1 v2 Set θ2 = 90° in Snell's Law and solve for θ1 to determine the critical angle of incidence at which total internal reflection begins to occur when light passes from diamond to air. (Note that the index of refraction from diamond to air is the reciprocal of the index from air to diamond. Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answer:

-20.3^{\circ}\ or\ 180+20.3=200.3^{\circ}

Explanation:

n_1 = Refractive index of air = 1

n_2 = Refractive index of diamond = 2.41

\theta_1 = Angle in air

\theta_2 = Angle in diamond = 90° (TIR)

From Snell's law we have

\dfrac{sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}=\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}\\\Rightarrow sin\theta_1=sin\theta_2\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}\\\Rightarrow \theta_1=sin^{-1}(sin\theta_2\dfrac{n_1}{n_2})\\\Rightarrow \theta_1=sin^{-1}(sin90\dfrac{1}{2.41})\\\Rightarrow \theta_1=-20.3^{\circ}\ or\ 180+20.3=200.3^{\circ}

The angle will be -20.3^{\circ}\ or\ 180+20.3=200.3^{\circ}

A rectangular dam is 101 ft long and 54 ft high. If the water is 35 ft deep, find the force of the water on the dam (the density
blsea [12.9K]

To solve this problem we will begin by finding the pressure through density and average depth. Later we will find the Force, by means of the relation of the pressure and the area.

P = \rho h

Here,

h = Depth average

\rho = Density

Moreover,

\text{Density of water}= \rho = 62.4lb/ft^3

Replacing,

P = (62.4lb/ft^3)(\frac{35}{2}ft)

P = 1092 lb/ft^2

Finally the force

\text{Force} = \text{Pressure}\times \text{Area of dam with water acting on it}

F = 1092lb/ft^2(101ft*52ft)

F = 5.735*10^6lbf

an airplane flies at a speed of 100 m/s and starts to accelerate constantly at a rate of 50 m/s2. how fast is the plane flying a
mart [117]

Answer:

331.7m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 100m/s

Acceleration  = 50m/s²

Distance  = 1km   = 1000m

Unknown:

Final velocity = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to apply the right motion equation shown below;

     v²  = u²  + 2aS

 v is the final velocity

 u is the initial velocity

 a is the acceleration

 S is the distance

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

     v² = 100² + (2 x 50 x 1000)

     v² = 110000

     v = √110000  = 331.7m/s

A box of mass 12 kg is at rest on a flat floor. The coefficient of static friction between the box and floor is 0.42. What is th
Oxana [17]
The maximum static force that can be applied is equal to the normal force*the frictional force. the normal force on the box is equal to mg since the floor is flat using 9.81m/s^2 for gravity 12kg*9.81m/s^2 = 118N multiplying the normal force by the frictional force you get a 118*.42= 49.6N so overcome the force of static friction on the box a minimum of 49.6N would need to be applied.

Which of the following is a possible measurement of velocity? A. 25 m B. 25 m/s C. 25 m east D. 25 m/s east
Kazeer [188]
Answer is B.
Because velocity is vector quantity, so magnitud and direction are needed to define it.
Since velocity means the speed(magnitude) of some object in a given direction, so it’s units are usually measured by meters/ seconds
