A flat piece of glass covers the top of a vertical cylinder that is completely filled with water. If a ray of light traveling in

the glass is incident on the interface with the water at an angle of \theta_{a} = 36.2°, the ray refracted into the water makes an angle of 49.8° with the normal to the interface. What is the smallest value of the incident angle \theta_{a} for which none of the ray refracts into the water?

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Snell's law

n₁ sinθ₁ = n₂ sinθ₂

n₁ = refractive index of the first medium ( glass)

n₂ = refractive index of the second medium ( water)

θ₁ = 36.2°, θ₂ = 49.8° refractive index of water = 1.333

n₁ sin 36.2 = 1.333 sin 49.8

n₁ = 1.333 sin 49.8° / sin 36.2° = 1.724

the smallest angle of incidence for which none of the ray refracts into the water is the critical angle which is just the angle in which there is an increase to the normal will cause total internal reflection

n₁  sin citical angle = 1.333 sin 90° where the refracted angle for this is 90°

sin critical angle = 1.3333 / 1.724 = 0.7732

critical angle = sin⁻¹0.7732 = 50.64°

Answer:

The smallest value of the incident angle is 50.8°

Explanation:

According the law of refraction:

n_{1} sin\theta _{1}  =n_{2} sin\theta _{2}

Where

n₁ = index of refraction glass

n₂ = index of refraction water = 1.333

θ₁ = 36.2°

θ₂ = 49.8°

The index of refraction of the glass is:

n_{1} =\frac{n_{2}sin\theta _{2}  }{sin\theta _{1} } =\frac{1.333*sin49.8}{sin36.2} =1.72

The smallest value of the incident angle is:

\theta =sin^{-1} \frac{n_{2} }{n_{1} } =\frac{1.333}{1.72} =50.8

The match making one is Radiation is i think B and Convection i think is C and Conduction i think is A.  I think 1 is radiation. Because radiation is transferred between objects or an empty space. Number 2 i think is conduction Because conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between to objects touching. Number 3 i also i think is radiation because radiation transfers between objects. Number 4 i also think is conduction because the spoon was touching a hot pot that was on the stove so then the thermal energy was transferred between the two objects touching. number 5 I think is convection because convection is the transfer of energy by the movement of a fluid, such as air or water. Number 6 i think is radiation because the snake is not touching the lamp and radiation goes all across spaces. Number 7 i think is convection because convection is the movement of a fluid, such as air or water. Hope this helps sorry its so long :)

The value of acceleration due to gravity is less at the top of Mount Everest then that in the terai reason, why?​
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The value of acceleration due to gravity is greater in terai than in mountain. In terai region the radius of earth is less as it lies close to the centre of the earth. Thus, the value of g is more in terai region.

The relationship between mass and inertia is described by newton's second law of motion. true or false
Mariana [72]
False. Inertia and mass is not described in Newton’s second law of motion but in Newton’s first law of motion. Newton’s first law of motion or sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. In Newton’s first law indicates that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
