Answer:

The refractive index of glass, \mu_{g} = 1.367

Solution:

Brewster angle is the special case of incident angle that causes the reflected and refracted rays to be perpendicular to each other or that angle of incident which causes the complete polarization of the reflected ray.

To determine the refractive index of glass:

tan\theta_{P} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{\mu_{a}}                 (1)

where

\mu_{a} = refractive index of glass

\mu_{g} = refractive index of glass

Now, using eqn (1)

tan{53.8^{\circ}} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{1}

\mu_{g} = tan53.8^{\circ}

\mu_{g} = 1.367

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

In the presence of two point charges at the two vertices of an equilateral triangle, the resultant electric field at the third vertex due to these charges can not be zero whether the charges are identical or not.

The reason being that only of the x or y component of the field can be cancelled out in either case still the total field can't be reduced to zero.

This can only be achieved if another charge is present.

I need it now aaaasssssaaaappp!!!!
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

A) Pitch depends on the frequency of a sound wave. The higher the pitch, the higher the frequency and the lower the pitch, the lower the frequency. Sound waves have different pitches due to varying frequency levels.

B) Sound is created as the pen vibrates. This vibrations also interacts with the air atoms and molecules, causing them to vibrate too, therefore, creating sound waves. The reason the brain grows annoyed at this continual sound is because the brain will focus on this sound only, causing the brain to go into overdrive, creating annoyance.

C) Sound waves are travelling vibrations of particles. Space does not have any atoms or particles for the sound vibrations to interact with, therefore creating zero sound waves to travel.

Hope this helps!! :))
