Answer:

(a) 40.6 degree

Explanation:

When refraction takes place from slab to water, the critical angle is 60 degree.

Use Snell's law

refractive index of water with respect to slab

\mu _{w}^{s}=\frac{Sin60}{Sin90}

\frac{\mu _{w}}{\mu _{s}}=0.866

\frac{1.33}{\mu _{s}}=0.866

μs = 1.536

Now for slab air interface, the critical angle is C.

\mu _{a}^{s}=\frac{SinC}{Sin90}

\frac{\mu _{a}}{\mu _{s}}=\frac{SinC}{Sin90}

1 / 1.536 = Sin C

C = 40.6 degree

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is the cosine of 30 degrees multiplied by 40m/s. The cosine of 30 degrees is the 0.8660 . To get the speed, multiply by 40m/s. This equals 34.64, which is approximately 35m/s.

Hope it helpss :)

A parallel plate capacitor is created by placing two large square conducting plates of length and width 0.1m facing each other,
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

8.854 pF

Explanation:

side of plate = 0.1 m ,

d = 1 cm = 0.01 m,

V = 5 kV = 5000 V

V' = 1 kV = 1000 V

Let K be the dielectric constant.

So, V' = V / K

K = V / V' = 5000 / 1000 = 5

C = ε0 A / d = 8.854 x 10^-12 x 0.1 x 0.1 / 0.01 = 8.854 x 10^-12 F

C = 8.854 pF
