Determine the index of refraction of glass that is struck by unpolarized light at 53.8 degrees and resulting in a fully polarize
1 answer:
Answer:
The refractive index of glass,
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:
(1)
where
= refractive index of glass
= refractive index of glass
Now, using eqn (1)

Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram for each disc.
Disc A has three forces acting on it: 86.5 N up, T₁ down, and Wa down.
∑F = ma
86.5 N − T₁ − Wa = 0
Wa = 86.5 N − T₁
ma × 9.8 m/s² = 86.5 N − 55.6 N
ma = 3.2 kg
Disc B has three forces acting on it: T₁ up, T₂ down, and Wb down.
∑F = ma
T₁ − T₂ − Wb = 0
Wb = T₁ − T₂
mb × 9.8 m/s² = 55.6 N − 36.5 N
mb = 1.9 kg
Disc C has three forces acting on it: T₂ up, T₃ down, and Wc down.
∑F = ma
T₂ − T₃ − Wc = 0
Wc = T₂ − T₃
mc × 9.8 m/s² = 36.5 N − 9.6 N
mc = 2.7 kg
Disc D has two forces acting on it: T₃ up and Wd down.
∑F = ma
T₃ − Wd = 0
Wd = T₃
md × 9.8 m/s² = 9.6 N
md = 0.98 kg
