An oil layer that is 5.0 cm thick is spread smoothly and evenly over the surface of water on a windless day. A light ray from th

e air above enters the oil at 45° with the normal and then goes into the water. What is the angle of refraction of this ray in the water? The index of refraction for the oil is 1.15, and for water it is 1.33.

Answer:

The angle of refraction in water 32.12°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Thickness = 5.0 cm

Index of refraction for oil = 1.15

Index of refraction for water = 1.33

Angle = 45°

We need to calculate the angle of refraction

When the ray of light enters from air to oil

Using formula of refraction

n_{a}\sin\theta_{a}=n_{o}\sin\theta_{o}

Where, n_{a} = refractive index of air

n_{0} = refractive index of oil

Put the value into the formula

1\times\sin45=1.15\sin\theta_{o}

\sin\theta_{o}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}\times1.15}

\sin\theta_{o}=0.6148

\theta_{o}=sin^{-1}0.6149

\theta_{o}=37.94^{\circ}

When the ray of light enters from oil to water

Using formula of refraction

n_{0}\sin\theta_{0}=n_{w}\sin\theta_{w}

Where,  n_{w} = refractive index of water

1.15\times\sin37.94^{\circ}=1.33\sin\theta_{w}

\sin\theta_{w}=\dfrac{1.15\sin37.94^{\circ}}{1.33}

\theta_{w}=\sin^{-1}0.53163

\theta_{w}=32.12^{\circ}

Hence, The angle of refraction in water 32.12°.

A viscoelastic polymer that can be assumed to obey the Boltzmann superposition principle is subjected to the following deformati
Slav-nsk [51]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A viscoelastic polymer that can be assumed to obey the Boltzmann superposition principle is subjected to the following deformation cycle. At a time, t = 0, a tensile stress of 20 MPa is applied instantaneously and maintained for 100 s. The stress is then removed at a rate of 0.2 MPa s−1 until the polymer is unloaded. If the creep compliance of the material is given by:

J(t) = Jo (1 - exp (-t/to))

Where,

Jo= 3m^2/ GPA

to= 200s

Determine

a) the strain after 100's (before stress is reversed)

b) the residual strain when stress falls to zero.

Answer:

a)-60GPA

b) 0

Explanation:

Given t= 0,

σ = 20Mpa

Change in σ= 0.2Mpas^-1

For creep compliance material,

J(t) = Jo (1 - exp (-t/to))

J(t) = 3 (1 - exp (-0/100))= 3m^2/Gpa

a) t= 100s

E(t)= ΔσJ (t - Jo)

= 0.2 × 3 ( 100 - 200 )

= 0.6 (-100)

= - 60 GPA

Residual strain, σ= 0

E(t)= Jσ (Jo) ∫t (t - Jo) dt

3 × 0 × 200 ∫t (t - Jo) dt

E(t) = 0

A field measuring 12 meters by 16 meters is to have a brick paver walkway installed all around it, increasing the total area to
kolezko [41]

Answer:

1.5 m

Explanation:

Length. L = 12 m

Width, W = 16 m

Area, A = 12 x 16 = 192 m^2

Let the width of pavement be d.

The new length, L' = 12 + 2d

the new width, W' = 16 + 2d  

New Area, A' = L' x W' = (12 + 2d)(16 + 2d) = 192 + 56 d + 4d^2

Difference in area = A' - A

285 =  192 + 56 d + 4d^2 - 192

93 =  56 d + 4d^2

4d^2 + 56 d - 93 = 0

d = \frac{-56\pm \sqrt{56^{2}+4\times 4\times 93}}{8}

d=\frac{-56\pm 87.72}{8}\

d = 1.5 m

Thus, the width of the pavement is 1.5 m.

What must happen to an atom of magnesium in order to become a magnesium ion Mg+2?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
