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.

Answer:Greenhouse effect

Explanation:

Short wavelength radiation from the sun passes through a  planet's atmosphere but some of the outgoing long-wavelength energy is absorbed and radiated again this process is known as Green house effect which increases the temperature of earth and as a result causes more to be trapped inside earth atmosphere.

A synthesis reaction occurs when a molecule is formed from the bonding of atoms, ions or simpler molecules. A single product is created from multiple reactants. These reactions are exothermic since they release energy in the form of light and heat.

The __ of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.
Vlad [161]
<span>The SLOPE of a position-time graph represents an object’s SPEED.

It's not possible to tell the object's velocity from the graph, because
the graph doesn't show anything about what direction the object is
moving, and you need to know the direction in order to know the velocity. </span>

Based on the graph, how would you describe the net forces acting on the moving
ladessa [460]

Given the velocity-time graph of an object.

The slope of a velocity-time graph gives the acceleration acting on the object.

From the graph, we can see that the slope of the graph is zero. That is, the velocity of the object is constant and hence the net acceleration acting on the object is zero.

From Newton's second law, the net force acting on an object is given by the product of the mass of the object and its velocity. Therefore when the acceleration of the object is zero, the net force on the object is also zero.

Therefore the net force acting on the given object is zero. Hence, the correct answer is option A.
