Answer:

a) n2 = 1.55

b) 408.25 nm

c) 4.74*10^14 Hz

d) 1.93*10^8 m/s

Explanation:

a) To find the index of refraction of the syrup solution you use the Snell's law:

n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2   (1)

n1: index of refraction of air

n2: index of syrup solution

angle1: incidence angle

angle2: refraction angle

You replace the values of the parameter in (1) and calculate n2:

n_2=\frac{n_1sin\theta_1}{sin\theta_2}=\frac{(1)(sin30.2\°)}{sin18.82\°}=1.55

b) To fond the wavelength in the solution you use:

\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}\\\\\lambda_2=\lambda_1\frac{n_1}{n_2}=(632.8nm)\frac{1.00}{1.55}=408.25nm

c) The frequency of the wave in the solution is:

v=\lambda_2 f_2\\\\f_2=\frac{v}{\lambda_2}=\frac{c}{n_2\lambda_2}=\frac{3*10^8m/s}{(1.55)(408.25*10^{-9}m)}=4.74*10^{14}\ Hz

d) The speed in the solution is given by:

v=\frac{c}{n_2}=\frac{3*10^8m/s}{1.55}=1.93*10^8m/s

A toaster changes electrical energy to thermal energy. This is a/an
erastova [34]

A because the toaster converts electrical energy into heat energy and, after the bread has been heated for sufficient time, toasts pop out, ready to be buttered. And converting means transforming.
