When light moves from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle above which there is no refracted ray, and it is given by:
(2)
where
is the refractive index of the second medium and
is the refractive index of the first medium.
We can find the ratio
by using Snell's law:
(1)
where
is the angle of incidence
is the angle of refraction
By using the data of the problem and re-arranging (1), we find
and if we use eq.(2) we can now find the value of the critical angle:
Answer:
If I remembered correctly the answer would be Ne and Ar(Neon and Argon
Answer:
It will be cut in half
Explanation:
The diffraction of a slit is given by the formula
a sin θ = m where
a = width of the slit,
λ = wavelength and
m = integer that determines the order of diffraction.
Next we divide both sides by a, we have
sin θ = m λ / a
Also, recall that
a’ = 2 a
Then we substitute in the previous equation
2asin θ' = m λ, if divide by 2a, we have
sin θ' = (m λ / 2a).
Now again, from the first equation, we said that sin θ = m λ / a, so we substitute
sin θ ’= sin θ / 2
Then we use trigonometry to find the width, we say
tan θ = y / L
Since the angle is small, we then have
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ
tan θ = sin θ, this then means that
sin θ = y / L
we will then substitute
y’ / L = y/L 1/2
y' = y / 2
this means that when the slit width is doubled the pattern width will then be halved
117 m/sec is the speed of a transverse wave in a rope of length 3. 1 m and mass 86 g under a tension of 380 n.
The wave speed v is given by
v= √τ/μ
where τ is the tension in the rope and μ is the linear mass density of the rope.
The linear mass density is the mass per unit length of rope :
μ= m / L = (0.086 kg)/(3.1 m)=0.0277 kg/m.
v= 
= 117.125 m/sec (approx. 117 m/sec
In physics, a transverse wave is a wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave's advance. This is in contrast to a longitudinal wave which travels in the direction of its oscillations. Water waves are an example of transverse wave.
Transverse waves commonly occur in elastic solids due to the shear stress generated; the oscillations in this case are the displacement of the solid particles away from their relaxed position, in directions perpendicular to the propagation of the wave. These displacements correspond to a local shear deformation of the material. Hence a transverse wave of this nature is called a shear wave. Since fluids cannot resist shear forces while at rest, propagation of transverse waves inside the bulk of fluids is not possible.

Initially, the experiment has only potential energy (since total energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy). And at the end, the experment has only kinetic energy.
