As altitude increases in the troposphere and stratosphere the air temperature _________

Physics
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]4 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Our atmosphere has different layers. The lowest layer is called as troposphere which extends up to 10 - 20 km from the surface depending on where you are on Earth. Most of the weather phenomenon occur in this region only. As we go to higher altitude in this region the temperature decreases at a rate of around 6.5 C per km.

The second layer above this is known as stratosphere which extends up to around 50 km from the surface. This part contains most of the ozone layer. Ozone layer is responsible for protecting us from UV radiation from the Sun. This layer absorbs the UV radiation thus the temperature in this layer increases with altitude.

As light shines from air to water (n = 1.33) at an incident angle of 45.0 degrees what is the angle of refraction
erma4kov [3.2K]
Using Snell's law
we get
sin(I)/sin(r) = U2/U1
• where U2 represent the water's refractive index and U1 represent air's refractive index
thus
sin45°sin(r) = 1.33/1
1/√2*1.33 = sin(r)
1/1.88 = sin(r)
0.531 = sin(r)
thus the refractive angle is 32°
