Suppose the glass paperweight has index of refraction n=1.38. a) find the value of θ for which the reflection on the vertical su

rface of the paperweight exactly satisfies the condition for total internal reflection. b) If θ is increased, is the reflection at the vertical surface still total?

Answer:

a)θ=71.89°

b)NO

Explanation:

Given that

For glass n= 1.38

We know that for air n'=1

The angle  for total internal reflection θc given as

sin θc=n'/n

By putting the values

sin θc=n'/n

sin θc=1/1.38

θc=46.43°

n'sinθ = n sinθref

sinθref = cosθc

n'sinθ =  n cosθc

1 x sinθ =1.38 x cos 46.43°

θ=71.89°

b)

NO

I think you mean the Cryosphere?

But the answer is D- Earths Ice

This word Cryosphere comes from the greek word "kryos" which means cold

Many people think of the cryosphere as being the north and south poles  but snow and ice can be found in a lot of places on the Earth

The electrical resistance of an element in a platinum resistance thermometer at 100°c, 0°c and room temperature are 75.00Ω, 63.0
Dominik [7]

Answer:

16.6 °C

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Temperature at upper fixed point (Tᵤ) = 100 °C

Resistance at upper fixed point (Rᵤ) = 75 Ω

Temperature at lower fixed point (Tₗ) = 0 °C

Resistance at lower fixed point (Rₗ) = 63.00Ω

Resistance at room temperature (R) = 64.992 Ω

Room temperature (T) =?

T – Tₗ / Tᵤ – Tₗ = R – Rₗ / Rᵤ – Rₗ

T – 0 / 100 – 0 = 64.992 – 63  / 75 – 63

T / 100 = 1.992 / 12

Cross multiply

T × 12 = 100 × 1.992

T × 12 = 199.2

Divide both side by 12

T = 199.2 / 12

T = 16.6 °C

Thus, the room temperature is 16.6 °C

If someone were monitoring your vital signs (like your heart rate, oxygen content in your blood, blood pressure, etc.) every hou
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Accuracy

Explanation:

I think accuracy is more important. When it comes to vital organs in the body, the exactness of getting the measurement is paramount. Accuracy deals with getting very close, almost exact you may say, to a known standard. Precision on the other hand, deals with how easy a measurement can be retaken, reproduced or remade, irrespective of how far or close they are from the accepted norm.

From this, we can agree that precision neglects the most important factor, closeness or say, exactness. Precision isn't bothered by it. And while that can be excused in a few instances, it certainly can not be permitted when it comes to life, or organs of the body

2. Adelia holds a shiny steel spoon with its back (convex surface) facing her eyes at a distance
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

(a) The convex mirror image, is always upright at all positions, while images formed by concave mirrors are always inverted when the object distance from the mirror is more than the mirrors focal length.

(b) An upright image is not seen for object at a distance from a concave mirror further than the focal length of the mirror, which is the spoon in the question

Therefore, the location of her eyes of approximately, 30 cm,  from the mirror is more than the mirror's focal length
