According to research by several scientists, Saturn's rings aren't solid, as they appear from Earth. They are actually made up of floating chunks of water ice, rocks and dust that range in diferent sizes from specks to enormous, even house-sized pieces that orbit Saturn in a ring pattern.

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

$\mu = 1.645$

The current in a series circuit is 19.3 A. When an additional 7.40-Ω resistor is inserted in series, the current drops to 13.4 A

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

16.8ohms

Explanation:

According to ohm's law which states that the current passing through a metallic conductor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends.

Mathematically, V = IRt where;

V is the voltage across the circuit

I is the current

R is the effective resistance

For a series connected circuit, same current but different voltage flows through the resistors.

If the initial current in a circuit is 19.3A,

V = 19.3R... (1)

When additional resistance of 7.4-Ω is added and current drops to 13.4A, our voltage in the circuit becomes;

V = 13.4(7.4+R)... (2)

Note that the initial resistance is added to the additional resistance because they are connected in series.

Equating the two value of the voltages i.e equation 1 and 2 to get the resistance in the original circuit we will have;

19.3R = 13.4(7.4+R)

19.3R = 99.16+13.4R

19.3R-13.4R = 99.16

5.9R = 99.16

R= 99.16/5.9

R = 16.8ohms

The resistance in the original circuit will be 16.8ohms
