Which is true about total internal reflection?

Physics
1 answer:
Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

It can occur only when light is incident on an interface where the index of refraction on the other side is less.

Explanation:

When the light passes from a denser medium, with refractive index n1, to another less dense medium, with refractive index n2, the incident light beam is refracted in such a way that it is not able to cross the surface between both media, the light beam is fully reflected and completely confining in the optically denser medium through which it propagates. For this phenomenon to occur, it is necessary that the angle of the incident light beam with respect to the normal be greater than or equal to the critical incidence angle θc. The critical angle can be calculated as :

\theta_c=arcsin(\frac{n_2}{n_1})

A wheel is rotating at 30.0 rpm. The wheel then accelerates uniformly to 50.0 rpm in 10.0 seconds. Determine the – a) rate of an
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The angular acceleration is 0.209\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity, \omega_{i} = 30.0\ rpm

Angular velocity, \omega_{f} = 50.0\ rpm

Time t = 10.0 sec

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using formula of angular acceleration

\alpha=\dfrac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}

\alpha=\dfrac{\omega_{f}-\omega_{i}}{\Delta t}

\alpha=\dfrac{50.0-30.0}{10.0}

Now, we change the angular velocity in rad/s.

\omega=20\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}

\omega=2.09\ rad/s

\alpha=\dfrac{2.09}{10.0}

\alpha=0.209\ rad/s^2

Hence, The angular acceleration is 0.209\ rad/s^2

on a very muddy football field, a 120 kg linebacker tackles an 75 kg halfback. immediately before the collision, the linebacker
DIA [1.3K]
<u>Momentum</u> 
- a vector quantity; has both magnitude and direction
- has the same direction as object's velocity
- can be represented by components x & y.

Find linebacker momentum given m₁ = 120kg, v₁ = 8.6 m/s north
P₁ = m₁v₁
P₁ = (120)(8.6)
[ P₁ = 1032 kg·m/s ] = y-component, linebacker momentum

Find halfback momentum given m₂ = 75kg, v₂ = 7.4 m/s east
P₂ = m₂v₂
P₂ = (75)(7.4)
[ P₂ = 555 kg·m/s ] = x-component, halfback momentum

Find total momentum using x and y components.
P = √(P₁)² + (P₂)²
P = √(1032)² + (555)²
[[ P = 1171.77 kg·m/s ]] = magnitude 

!! Finally, to find the magnitude of velocity, take the divide magnitude of momentum by the total mass of the players.
P = mv
P = (m₁ + m₂)v
1171.77 = (120 + 75)v      <em>[solve for v]</em>
<em />v = 1171.77/195
v = 6.0091 ≈ 6.0 m/s

If asked to find direction, take inverse tan of x and y components.
tanθ = (y/x)
θ = tan⁻¹(1032/555)
[ θ = 61.73° north of east. ]

The magnitude of the velocity at which the two players move together immediately after the collision is approximately 6.0 m/s.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

baking the cake batter

Explanation:

Baking the cake batter will indicate that chemical change has occurred here. What is a chemical change?

  • A chemical change is one in which a new kind of matter is formed.
  • It is usually accompanied by energy either evolution or absorption of energy in form of heat or light or both.
  • The process is irreversible.
  • When the batter bakes, a new substance different from the cake mix is obtainable.
  • We cannot get back the ingredient from this baked cake. It is impossible.
  • This is good indicator of chemical change.
