Sunlight is reflected off of a puddle of water ahead of a driver. The index of refraction of the water is 1.333. If a driver sit

s 1.5 m above the ground, at what distance from the driver will polarized sunglasses be most effective at blocking the reflected light from the puddle. Hint: What angle does light become maximally polarized? 5. A. 1.1m B. 3.0m C. 2.0 m D. 0.75 m E. 2.5m

Answer:

option C is correct

distance from the driver is 2 m

Explanation:

Given data

index of refraction of the water n = 1.333

driver height from ground=  1.5 m

to find out

What angle does light become maximally polarized and what distance from the driver will polarized

solution

we know that n1 for water = 1.33 and we know for air n2 = 1

so  tan(θ)  = n1 / n2

tan(θ)  = 1.33 / 1

so (θ) = 53.06 degree

so for distance d will be calculate as

tan ( 90 - (θ) ) = height / distance

tan ( 90 - 53.06 ) = 1.5 / distance

distance = 1.5 / 0.7519

distance = 1.994 m  = 2 m

so option C is correct

distance from the driver is 2 m

Explain the relationship between force, mass and acceleration in Newton's second law
Nikitich [7]

Newton's  second law of motion describes what happens to a body when an external  force is applied to it.

Newton's second law of motion states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration. In mathematical form this is written as

F = ma

Where F is force , m is mass and a is acceleration. The math or logic  behind this is that if  you double the force, you double the acceleration, but if you double the mass, you cut the acceleration in half.
