Answer:

  m = 4

Explanation:

The expression that explains the constructive interference of a diffraction pattern is

         a sin θ = m λ

where a  is the width of the slit and λ the wavelength

         sin θ = m λ / a

The maximum value is for when the sine is 1, let's substitute

         1 = m λ/a  

         m = a /λ

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

        a = 2.1 um = 2.1 10⁻⁶

        lam = 475 nm = 475 10⁻⁹ m

let's calculate

        m = 2.1  10⁻⁶ / 475 10⁻⁹

        m = 4.42

with m must be an integer the highest value is

         m = 4

A ray of light is incident on a flat surface of a block of polystyrene, with an index of refraction of 1.49, that is submerged i
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

21.5°

Explanation:

Given,

Refractive index of water, n₁ = 1.33

Refractive index of polystyrene, n₂ = 1.49

Angle of reflection = ?

Angle of refraction = 19.1°

Using Snell's law

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

1.33 x sin θ₁ = 1.49 x sin 19.1°

sin θ₁ = 0.366

θ₁  = 21.5°

According to law of reflection angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.

Angle of reflection =  21.5°
