A diamond is underwater; A light ray enters one face of the diamond, then travels at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the

normal. What was the ray's angle of incidence on the diamond? The index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33, and the index of refraction of diamond is ndiamond=2.42. Finally, apply Snell's law and find the ray's angle of incidence θ1 on the diamond.

According to snells law 

<span>n1 sin theta1 = n2 sin theta2
</span>n1  = 1.333 (water)
<span>n2  = 2.42 (diamond)</span>
 it is given that theta =30 degrees so 
by putting the values we have 

<span>1.333 sin theta = 2.42 sin 30 </span>

<span>sin theta = (2.42/1.333) *0.5 =65.2 degree
</span>so our conclusion is 

<span>the ray's angle of incidence θ1 on the diamond</span> = 65.2 degree.
hope this helps

Write the first equation of motion. Under what condition(s) is this equation valid?​
Zepler [3.9K]

Explanation:

The first equation of motion in kinematics is given by :

v=u+at .....(1)

u is initial speed

a is acceleration

v is final speed

t is time

Equation (1) is valid when the object is moving with constant acceleration. This equation gives relation between velocity and time.

A passenger in a helicopter traveling upwards at 15 m/s accidentally drops a package out the window. If it takes 15 seconds to r
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The helicopter was 1103.63 meters high when the package was dropped.

Explanation:

We consider positive speed as a downward movement

y: height (m)

t: time (s)

v₀: initial speed (m/s)

Δy = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}gt²

Δy= 15\frac{m}{s}×15 s + \frac{1}{2}×9.81\frac{m}{s^{2} }×(15 s)²

Δy= 1103.63 m

An object has a mass of 13.5 kilograms. What force is required to accelerate it to a rate of 9.5 m/s2?
Zigmanuir [339]
Force can be expressed as the product of mass and acceleration. Mathematically, that's F = m(a). Plugging the given into the equation, we have F = (13.5 kg)(9.5 m/s²) = 128.3 kg.m/s² or 128.3 N<span>. </span>
