The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660 . A beam of white light in

this glass strikes the glass–air interface at a 23.90° angle of incidence and refracts out into the air. What is the angular separation between the red and violet components of the spectrum that emerges from the glass?

Answer:

The angular separation equals 0.35^{o}

Explanation:

We have according to Snell's law

n_{1}sin(\theta _{1})=n_{2}sin(\theta _{2})

\therefore \theta _{2}=sin^{-1}(\frac{n_{1}sin(\theta _{1})}{n_{2}})

Using this equation for both the colors separately we have

\theta _{red}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(23.90^{o})}{1.62})\\\\\theta _{red}=14.48^{o}

Similarly for violet light we have

\theta _{violet}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(23.90^{o})}{1.660})\\\\\theta _{violet}=14.13^{o}

Thus the angular separation becomes

\Delta \theta =14.48-14.13=0.35^{o}

Two or more velocities add by ____?<br><br> Plz help
VladimirAG [237]
By vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities). 
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by
R= \sqrt{(R_x)^2+(R_y)^2}
where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by
\tan \alpha =  \frac{R_y}{R_x}
where \alpha is its direction with respect to the x-axis.

Water, oil and silver are poured into the vessel
taurus [48]

The height of the oil column above the water in the vessel is determined as 2 cm.

<h3>Pressure of the vessel</h3>

The pressure of the vessel due to water, oil and silver poured into the vessel is determined from mercury column.

let level of mercury = 20 cm + 0.5 cm = 20.5 cm

20.5 cmHg = 205 mmHg

1 mmHg = 133.32 Pa

205 mmHg = 27,330.6 Pa

<h3>Height of the liquids in the vessel</h3>

P = ρgh

where;

ρ is the density of water, oil and silver respectively

ρ = 1000 kg/m³ + 881 kg/m³ + 10,800 kg/m³ = 12,681 kg/m³

h = P/(ρg)

h = (27,330.6) / (12,681 x 9.8)

h = 0.22 m

h = 22 cm

<h3>Height of oil column</h3>

Oil is less dense than water and will float on water.

Height of oil column = 22 cm - 20 cm = 2 cm
