A ray diagram is shown

Physics

boyakko [2]3 years ago

Answer:

The diagram shows refraction, and medium 1 is less dense than medium 2.

Explanation:

- Reflection occurs when a light ray hits a surface and bounces back into the same medium

- Refraction occurs when a light ray crosses the interface between two different mediums, changing direction

From the diagram, we clearly see that this is a case of refraction, since the light ray crosses the boundary between two mediums.

The direction of a light ray in refraction is given by Snell's Law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2 (1)

where

n1 and n2 are the index of refraction of the two mediums: a higher index of refraction means a higher density for the medium

\theta_1, \theta_2 are the angles of the light ray in medium 1 and medium 2, measured with respect to the normal to the interface

We can rewrite eq. (1) as

\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{sin \theta_2}{sin \theta_1}

From the diagram, we see that

\theta_1 > \theta_2

so

sin \theta_1 > sin \theta_2

and so

\frac{sin \theta_2}{sin \theta_1}

which means

\frac{n_1}{n_2}

so, medium 2 is denser than medium 1, and the correct answer is

The diagram shows refraction, and medium 1 is less dense than medium 2.

A pressure cylinder has a diameter of 150-mm and has a 6-mm wall thickness. What pressure can this vessel carry if the maximum s
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

p = 8N/mm2

Explanation:

given data ;

diameter of cylinder =  150 mm

thickness of cylinder = 6 mm

maximum shear stress =  25 MPa

we know that

hoop stress is given as =\frac{pd}{2t}

axial stress is given as =\frac{pd}{4t}

maximum shear stress = (hoop stress - axial stress)/2

putting both stress value to get required pressure

25 = \frac{ \frac{pd}{2t} -\frac{pd}{4t}}{2}

25 = \frac{pd}{8t}

t = 6 mm

d = 150 mm

therefore we have pressure

p = 8N/mm2

Energy that vibrates electrons causing electricity
tresset_1 [31]
Answer: Electromagnetic waves are generated by moving electrons. An electron generates an electric field which we can visualize as lines radiating from the electron Figure 10a. If the electron moves, say it vibrates back and forth, then this motion will be transferred to the field lines and they will become wavy Figure 10b.

What are the answers please help
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a.) The main scale reading is 10.2cm

b.) Division 7 = 0.07

c.) 10.27 cm

d.)  10.31 cm

e.)  10.24 cm  

Explanation:

The figure depicts a vernier caliper readings

a.) The main scale reading is 10.2 cm

The reading before the vernier scale

b.) Division 7 = 0.07

the point where the main scale and vernier scale meet

c.) The observed readings is

10.2 + 0.07 = 10.27 cm

d.) If the instrument has a positive zero error of 4 division

correct reading = 10.27 + 0.04 = 10.31cm

e.)  If the instrument has a negative zero error of 3 division

correct reading = 10.27 - 0.03 = 10.24cm

One baked potato provides an average of 30 mg of vitamin C. If 70 potatoes weigh 20 lb., how many milligrams of vitamin C are pr
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

105 mg

Explanation:

Given that:

1 baked potato provides 30 mg of vitamin C.

So,

70 baked potatoes provide 30\times 70 mg of vitamin C

Also,

70 potatoes = 20 lb

So,

20 lb potatoes provide 30\times 70 mg of vitamin C

Thus,

1 lb potatoes provide \frac {30\times 70}{20} mg of vitamin C

<u>Thus, 105 mg of Vitamin C are provided per pound of the potatoes.</u>
