Answer: tectonics

Plate tectonics is the movement of the lithospheric plate over the underlying mantle. It results in the breakage of lithospheric plates into number of plates which floats and travel on the surface of earth's mantle. This occurs due to geological processes like earthquakes and volcanic activity.

Light is incident on the left face of an isosceles prism; with an apex angle of 49o, such that the light exiting the right face

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$\mu = 1.645$

Explanation:

By Snell's law we know at the left surface

$\theta_i = 19^o$

$\theta_r = ?$

$\mu_1 = 1$

$\mu_2 = \mu$

now we have

$1 sin19 = \mu sin\theta_r$

$0.33 = \mu sin\theta_r$

now on the other surface we know that

angle of incidence = $\theta_r'$

$\theta_e = 90$

so again we have

$\mu sin\theta_r' = 1 sin90$

so we have

$\theta_r = sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu}$

$\theta_r' = sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}$

also we know that

$\theta_r + \theta_r' = 49$

$sin^{-1}\frac{0.33}{\mu} + sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu} = 49$

By solving above equation we have

$\mu = 1.645$

Calculate the total resistance in a series circuit made up of resistances of 3Ω, 4Ω, and 5Ω.

-BARSIC- [3]

The total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the sum of all resistors (R total = ΣRi).

R total = R1 + R2 + R3 = (3 + 4 + 5) Ω = 12 Ω

15) Very cold climates occur at Earth's North and South Poles because the polar regions

Gwar [14]

Because the polar regions receive low-angle insolation.

Insolation is the amount of solar radiation received by a given area. The Sun is always low on the horizon. The low Sun angle makes the beam of solar radiation to travel a longer distance from upper troposphere to reach earth's surface as compared to when it is directly overhead. In this case, the radiations are scattered and reflected more by the atmosphere and spread over a larger area. Thus, the intensity of solar radiation is very less at polar regions than near the equatorial region. This is the reason of very cold climates at polar regions.
