A submarine periscope uses two totally reflecting 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection on the sides adjacent to the 45

degree angles. Explain why the periscope will no longer work if it springs a leak and the bottom prism is covered with water. Note: The index of refraction for water is 1.33. The index of refraction for glass is 1.52

Answer

Given,

Periscope uses 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection adjacent to 45°.

refractive index of water, n_a = 1.33

refractive index of glass, n_g = 1.52

When the light enters the water, water will act as a lens and when we see the object from the periscope the object shown is farther than the usual distance.

Which element causes a star to go through a high mass cycle
denis23 [38]

Answer:     As larger stars reach the red-giant phase, their temperature increases as helium is fused into carbon. Core temperature increases, with fusion forming oxygen, nitrogen and iron. When the star core converts to iron, fusion ceases.

1. The potential difference between the terminals a cell in open circuit is 2.2volt. With resistance of 5ohm across the terminal
nadya68 [22]

Explanation:  

10 /9 Ω

potential difference across the cell in open circuit is the emf of the cell.

Hence, emf E=2.2V

when, circuit is closed, potential difference across cell is given by V=E−Ir

And,

I= E/ R+r

Hence, V= E− Er/ R+r

⟹ V= ER/ R+r

⟹ 1.8= 2.2×5 /5+r

⟹9+1.8r=11

⟹ r= 2/  1.8  Ω

⟹ r= 10/9  Ω
