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})

romanna [79]

Answer:

a chemical reaction where electrons mix.

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction is when atomic nuclei combine, forming a new chemical element

A chemical reaction occurs when electrons from the last layer of atoms mix, forming molecules that have the same chemical elements as the reactants.

According to these definitions

           C + 2 S → CS2

in a chemical reaction where electrons mix.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The free body diagram is attached.

Explanation:

A force of 31[N] to the east, the second force goes to the south and it is equal to 28[N], the third force goes to the west and it is equal to 39 [N].

We can consider the crate as a particle. And all the forces are acting over the particle.
