Given a block of glass that is semi-circular, a laser pointer, protractor/ruler, and index card, design your own experiment to o

bserve and measure total internal reflection. Describe how you would shine the laser onto the glass block, what angles you would measure and how you would determine the critical angle from your measurements.

Answer:

Explanation:

Critical angle is angle of incidence at which the reflected ray is perpendicular to the normal of the plane.

Apply snell's law,

    ni sin∅i = nr sin ∅r

Here,ni & nr are reflective indices of incident and refracted media ,∅i is angle of incidence and ∅r is angle of refraction

In this case,the light refracted at interface of glass -air medium

ni=(1.52), nr =1.00(for air),∅r=90° and ∅i =∅c(from the definition of critical angle),

(1.52)sin∅c = (1.00)sin 90°

solve the equation for ∅c

∅c=sin⁻¹{(1.00)sin 90° /1.52}

=41.1°

thus,the critical angle is 41.1° .The rays which are incident greater than this angle,would reflect back into the same glass medium(total internal reelection)

Answer:

we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Explanation:

To design the experiment of measuring the critical angle, we describe the phenomenon, when the light passes from a medium with a higher refractive index to one with a lower index, it separates from the normal one and the Critical Angle is defined as the Angle for which the refraction occurs at 90º

            n₂ sin θ₂ = n₁ sin 90

           n₁ / n₂ = sin θ₂

As we can see, we have to measure the angle with which the laser touches the exit surface of the glass block.

Design of the experiment:

    We place the glass block on the ramp and at the top we hit the conveyor for half the angle, we climb the block on the ramp and see that the angle of incidence of lightning on the exit face changes, part of the beam comes out of the glass , we see it by dispersion in the particles of dirty in the air; Maybe the conveyor or the laser should be moved slightly so that the beam touches the point of origin on the conveyor.

   

   When we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

What are the differences between balloon framing and platform framing? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Why ha
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Difference : Balloon framing go through from foundation to top floor while Platform do not

advantages and disadvantages

Balloon framing : It has less vertical shrinkage  ( disadvantage )

platform framing : It has more vertical shrinkage and fire stops ( advantage )

platform framing : It is easier and safer to use

Reason for platform framing :

Due to these advantages Platform framing has become a better choice

<u><em>Little added fire stopping</em></u><u> </u>is required in platform framing because of double tap plate present which can act as as a fire stop

<u><em>Steel beam/ glue laminated wood beam </em></u>is preferred at foundation level because wood beam under the ground will most likely shrink over time

Explanation:

Differences : Balloon framing a form of building houses using a special kind of timber construction its studs start from the foundation and go to all the way to the last floor while in Platform framing the studs are interrupted by floor platforms ( i.e. they do not go through like in Balloon framing )

advantages and disadvantages

Balloon framing : It has less vertical shrinkage  ( disadvantage )

platform framing : It has more vertical shrinkage and fire stops ( advantage )

platform framing : It is easier and safer to use

Reason for platform framing :

Due to these advantages Platform framing has become a better choice

<u><em>Little added fire stopping</em></u><u> </u>is required in platform framing because of double tap plate present which can act as as a fire stop

Why can biofuels be described as renewable resources?​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Biofuel is fuel that is produced through contemporary processes from biomass, rather than by the very slow geological processes involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as oil. Since biomass technically can be used as a fuel directly, some people use the terms biomass and biofuel interchangeably. 

Biofuel, any fuel that is derived from biomass—that is, plant or algae material or animal waste. Since such feedstock material can be replenished readily, biofuel is considered to be a source of renewable energy, unlike fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas.
