Dispersion angle = 0.3875 degrees.
Width at bottom of block = 0.09297 cm

Snell's law provides the formula that describes the refraction of light. It is:
n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
where
n1, n2 = indexes of refraction for the different mediums
θ1, θ2 = angle of incident rays as measured from the normal to the surface.
Solving for θ2, we get
n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
n1*sin(θ1)/n2 = sin(θ2)
asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
The index of refraction for air is 1.00029, So let's first calculate the angles of the red and violet rays.
Red:
asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.641) = θ2
asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.641) = θ2
asin(0.398299876) = θ2
23.47193844 = θ2
Violet:
asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.667) = θ2
asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.667) = θ2
asin(0.39208764) = θ2
23.08446098 = θ2
So the dispersion angle is:
23.47193844 - 23.08446098 = 0.38747746 degrees.
Now to determine the width of the beam at the bottom of the glass block, we need to calculate the difference in the length of the opposite side of two right triangles. Both triangles will have a height of 11.6 cm and one of them will have an angle of 23.47193844 degrees, while the other will have an angle of 23.08446098 degrees. The idea trig function to use will be tangent, where
tan(θ) = X/11.6
11.6*tan(θ) = X
So for Red:
11.6*tan(θ) = X
11.6*tan(23.47193844) = X
11.6*0.434230136 = X
5.037069579 = X
And violet:
11.6*tan(θ) = X
11.6*tan(23.08446098) = X
11.6*0.426215635 = X
4.944101361 = X
So the width as measured from the bottom of the block is: 5.037069579 cm - 4.944101361 cm = 0.092968218 cm
The actual width of the beam after it exits the flint glass block will be thinner. The beam will exit at an angle of 40.80 degrees and we need to calculate the length of the sides of a 40.80/49.20/90 right triangle. If you draw the beams, you'll realize that:
cos(θ) = X/0.092968218
0.092968218*cos(θ) = X
0.092968218*cos(40.80) = X
0.092968218*0.756995056 = X
0.070376481 = X
So the distance between the red and violet rays is 0.07038 cm.
c) only from warmer areas to colder areas.
The second principle of thermodynamics states that heat can only flow from a hotter body to a cooler one. Specifically, Clausius statement says that is not possible for heat to move by itself from a lower temperature body to a higher temperature body.
The best way in handling in this situation is that in order for the astronaut to be able to get back to the shuttle is that he or she should take an object from his or her tool belt and to be thrown out away from the shuttle. This will allow her to weight lightly and safely return to the shuttle and would be easier for his or her to do so.
The period of the sound wave at the given frequency is determined as 0.00235 second.
<h3>
Period of the sound wave</h3>
The period of the sound wave at the given frequency is calculated as follows;
Period is reciprocal of frequency.
T = 1/f
T = 1/425
T = 0.00235 second
Thus, the period of the sound wave at the given frequency is determined as 0.00235 second.
