Light is incident on an air-water interface at an angle of 30 degree to the normal. What angle does the refracted ray make with

Answer:

22 degree

Explanation:

Angle of incidence, i = 30 degree

the refractive index of water with respect to air is 4/3.

As the ray of light travels from rarer medium to denser medium, that mean air to water, the refraction takes place.

According to Snell's law,

Refractive index of water with respect to air = Sin i / Sin r

Where, r be the angle of refraction

4 / 3 = Sin 30 / Sin r

0.75 = 2 Sin r

Sin r = 0.375

r = 22 degree

Thus, the angle of refraction is 22 degree.

When a body of mass 0.25 kg is attached to a vertical massless spring, it is extended 5.0 cm from its unstretched length of 4.0

lora16 [44]

Answer:

$d=0.165m$

Explanation:

Given

$m=0.25kg$ , $x_{1}=5cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.05m$ , $x_{2}=4cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.04m$ , $v=2\frac{rev}{s}$

The tension of the spring is

$F_{k}=K*x_{1}=m*g$

$K=\frac{m*g}{x_{1}}$

$K=\frac{0.25kg*9.8m/s^2}{0.05m}=49N/m$

The force in the spring is equal to centripetal force so

$F_{c}=\frac{m*v^2}{r}$

$v=w*r=2\pi*r$

But Fc is also

Fc=KxΔr

$F_{c}=K*(r-x_{2})$

Replacing

$m*4\pi^2*r=K*(r-x_{2})$

$0.25kg*4\pi^2*r=49*(r-0.04m)$

$r=0.205m$

total distance is

$d=0.205-0.04=0.165m$

A typical jet airliner has a cruise airspeed of 900 km/h , which is its speed relative to the air through which it is flying. If

Luba_88 [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the jet airplane with respect to air, $v_{PA} = 900\ km/h$

If the wind at the airliner’s cruise altitude is blowing at 100 km/h from west to east, $v_{AG}= 100\ km/h$

(A) Let $v_{PG}$ is the speed of the airliner relative to the ground if the airplane is flying from west to east,

$v_{PG}=900-100=800\ km/h$

(B) Let $v'_{PG}$ is the speed of the airliner relative to the ground if the airplane is flying from east to west,

$v'_{PG}=900+100=1000\ km/h$

Hence, this is the required solution.

What describes a sound wave as it travels through a medium

Softa [21]

Sound waves in air (and any fluid medium) are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves.

Maggie is using her cat in an experiment on animal intelligence. Which of the following statements is true?

Kamila [148]

1. If Maggie gives her cat an unfair advantage, her experimental results will be biased.

Explanation:

Maggie using her cat in the experiment to test for intelligence gives the cat an unfair advantage, her experimental results will be biased.

Due to her emotional attachment with the cat, the experimental results will be skewed to portraying her cat as intelligence.
This is not a good experiment to carry out.
Such an experiment should be carried out with an unknown cat.

Be-36 what hull type is best for use on ponds, small lakes and calm rivers?

LenaWriter [7]

The hull type that is best for use on ponds, small lakes and calm rivers is Flat Bottom Hull.
A flat bottomed boat is a boat with a flat bottomed, two-chined hull, which allows it to be used in shallow bodies of water, such as rivers, because it is less likely to ground. The flat hull also makes the boat more stable in calm water.
