Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that when a ray of light tends to travel from a denser to rarer medium then there occurs total internal reflection.

For a denser medium the refractive index is greater than that of a rarer medium. This means that for the given situation refractive index of medium n_{a} is greater than medium n_{b}.

this also means that incident angle must be greater than the critical angle of the medium.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement n_{a} > n_{b} must be true for total internal reflection to occur.

Answer:

a = 0.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Force equation: F = ma

F = ma -> a = F/m = 2.8*10^3 N / 3.5*10^3 kg = 0.8 m/s^2

Answer:

A)  R = (200 i ^ + 100 j ^ + 30k ^) m , B)    L = 223.61 m , C)   R = 225.61 m

Explanation:

Part A

This is a vector summing exercise, let's take a Reference System where the z axis corresponds to the height (flights), the x axis is the East - West and the y axis corresponds to the North - South.

Let's write the displacements

Descending from the apartment

10 flights of 3 m each, the total descent is 30 m

                Z = 30 k ^ m

Offset at street level

            L1 = 0.2 i ^ km

            L2 = 0.1 j ^ km

Let's reduce everything to the SI system

          L1 = 0.2 * 1000 = 200 i ^ m

          L2 = 100 j ^ m

The distance traveled is

          R = (200 i ^ + 100 j ^ + 30k ^) m

Part B

The horizontal distance traveled can be found with the Pythagorean theorem for the coordinates in the plane

                L² = x² + y²

                L = √ (200² + 100²)

                L = 223.61 m

Part C

The magnitude of travel, let's use the Pythagorean theorem for the sum

             R² = x² + y² + z²

              R = √ (30² + 200² + 100²)

             R = 225.61 m

torisob [31]
<span>Radius distance from origin to particle = √ (2²+1²) = √5 m = R 
I = MR² = (0.200)(5) = 1.00 kg-m² 
Θ = arctan 2/1 = 63.4° = R's angle CCW from horizontal 
V = 3.0 m/s 
V component that is at 90° to R = 3.0(sin 90°- 63.4°) = 3.0(sin 26.6°) = 1.3433 m/s 
w = [V component / R] = 1.3433/√5 = 0.601 rad/s

Define light?it's types​
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Light or visible light is electromagnetic radiation within the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be perceived by the human eye. Visible light is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nm, or 4.00 × 10⁻⁷ to 7.00 × 10⁻⁷ m, between the infrared and the ultraviolet.

Explanation:

This is one type of light.
