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

An object begins at position x = 0 and moves one-dimensionally along the x-axis witļi a velocity v
Liula [17]

Answer:

The answer is "between 20 s and 30 s".

Explanation:

Calculating the value of positive displacement:

\ (x_{+ve}) = \frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times  20 \\\\

          = \frac{1}{2} \times 300 \\\\=  150 \\\\

Calculating the value of negative displacement upon the time t:

(x_{-ve}) = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 20- 20(t-20) \\\\

          = \frac{1}{2} \times 100- 20t+ 400 \\\\= 50- 20t+ 400 \\\\

\to X= X_{+ve} + X_{-ve} \\\\

\to  150 - 50 -20t+400 =0\\\\\to 100 -20t+400 =0 \\\\\to 500 -20t =0\\\\\to 20t =500 \\\\\to t=\frac{500}{20}\\\\\to t=\frac{50}{2}\\\\\to t= 25

That's why its value lie in "between 20 s and 30 s".

The following table lists the work functions of a few commonmetals, measured in electron volts.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Lithium

Explanation:

The equation for the photoelectric effect is

\frac{hc}{\lambda}= \phi + K_{max}

where

\frac{hc}{\lambda} is the energy of the incident photon, with

h being the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

\phi is the work function of the metal (the minimum energy needed to extract the photoelectron from the metal)

K_{max} is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons

In this problem, we have

\lambda= 190 nm = 1.9\cdot 10^{-7}m is the wavelength of the incident photon

K_{max}=4.0 eV is the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons

First of all we can find the energy of the incident photon

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1.90\cdot 10^{-7} m}=1.05\cdot 10^{-18} J

Converting into electronvolts,

E=\frac{1.05\cdot 10^{-18} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=6.6 eV

So now we can re-arrange the equation of the photoelectric effect to find the work function of the metal

\phi = E-K_{max}=6.6 eV - 4.0 eV=2.6 eV

So the metal is most likely Lithium, which has a work function of 2.5 eV.

Which statement about homeostasis is true?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: Homeostasis helps to maintain body equilibrium.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is defined as the maintenance of a fairly constant internal environment in an organism. Body fluids such as blood, lymph, and tissue fluids make up the internal environment of the body, hence by the action of the nervous and endocrine system, there levels are maintained at a body equilibrium, by the help of brain, which has overall control of homeostasis while other parts such as kidney, liver, skin, hormones are also involved.
