Determine the index of refraction of glass that is struck by unpolarized light at 53.8 degrees and resulting in a fully polarize

d reflected beam. (Brewster angle).
Physics

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

Show that the expression pRT has the same units as the pressure, and thus that the ideal gas law is dimensionally consistent.
Gemiola [76]

Answer and Explanation:

We have given the expression \rho RT

Dimension of \rho =ML^{-3}

Dimension of R which is gas constant=ML^2T^{-2}\Theta ^{-1}M^{-1}

Dimension of temperature T \Theta ^{-1}

And dimension of pressure ML^{-1}T^{-2}

Now combine dimension of \rho RT =ML^{-3}ML^2T^{-2}\Theta ^{-1}M^{-1}\Theta ^{-1}=ML^{-1}T^{-2}

So the dimension of \rho RT  and dimension P is same so there unit will also be same

From ideal gas equation we know that PV=nRT

P=\frac{n}{V}RT=\rho RT

As the both P and  \rho RT  has same dimension so they are dimensionally constant
