The critical angle for a light ray travelling from a ruby into ethyl alcohol is 50.6 degrees celsius. Determine the index of ref

In order to answer this question, I realized that I needed to know the index
of refraction for ruby, so I went and looked it up.  It's  1.762 to 1.770 .

I started trying to remember how to use this number and the critical angle
to find the index of refraction of the other medium.  That's when I saw the
absurd unit "degrees celsius" for the critical angle, and I got discouraged.
But I perked up very quickly, when I realized that I'm still on the "index of
refraction" list, and while I'm there, I might as well just go ahead and
look up ethyl alcohol too.

It's  1.36  .

Your boss asks you to design a room that can be as soundproof as possible and provides you with three samples of material. The o
ivolga24 [154]

The correct answer is A.

The coefficient of absorption of material A is 30%. So, the material will absorb 30% energy of the incident wave falling on it. Thus, the reflected wave will carry the rest 70% energy.

The coefficient of absorption of material B is 47%. So, the material will absorb 47% energy of the incident wave falling on it. Thus, the reflected wave will carry the rest 53% energy.

The coefficient of absorption of material C is 62%. So, the material will absorb 62% energy of the incident wave falling on it. Thus, the reflected wave will carry the rest 28% energy.

Hence, material C would be the best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.

melamori03 [73]
The mistake here is that the total energy of the system does not change - generally, the total amount of energy in a system never changes unless the energy enters or leaves the system somehow (for example, if you see the Earth alone as a system, then energy from the sun enters the system and some energy is lost to space in the form of heat).

If a net force of 34.3 N is required to move the system in the figure to the right 2.3 m in 1.3 seconds what is the systems mass
sasho [114]
Mass of the system is 25.2 kg
Calculation:

F=ma

m = F/a  where a = m/t^2

a=2.3/(1.3)^2 = 1.36 m/s^2

m=34.3/1.36

m=25.2 Kg
