Answer:

Ray reflects internally

Explanation:

Given:

Ray in oil (n1) = 1.52

Ray in water (n2) = 1.33

θ = 55.9°

Computation:

Step 1 . Find critical angel(θc)

Sinθc/Sin90° = Ray in water / Ray in oil

Sinθc/1 = 1.33/1.52

θc = 61°

Since, θ = 55.9° is smaller than θc = 61°

So, Ray reflects internally.

The correct answer to the question is: A) miles/hour and B) metre/ second.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand speed.

The speed of a body is defined as the rate of distance travelled or the distance travelled by a body per unit time.

Hence, it is a derived quantity which is obtained from distance and time.

The unit of distance can be metre, miles, and the unit of time can be second, minutes or hour.

As speed is the distance covered per unit time, the perfect units will be miles/hour and metre/second.

Hence, the correct options are first and second.

Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's __P____ and ___S____ waves to help determine the distance between the recording seismograph and the earthquake epicenter.

Explanation:

P- (compressional) and S- (shear) waves produced in earthquakes travel at different speeds. P waves are faster than S waves and hence will be detected first by a seismograph after an earthquake. The further away a seismograph is from the epicenter of an earthquake,  the longer the time difference between the two (2) waves will be.

Using several, at least 3, seismographs located at different geoghraphical locations and detecting earthquakes, geologists can extrapolate the epicenter of an earthquake using the time differences in arrivals of the two waves in each of the seismographs, using the mathematics of triangulation.
