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

What must be the units for the gravitational constant G in order for gravitational force to have units of newtons?
babunello [35]

Answer:

m³/(kg⋅s²)

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the involved formula is:

F=G*\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

By writing a dimensional analysis with the proper algebra handling, we obtain:

N[=]G*\frac{kg*kg}{m^2}\\ \\kg*\frac{m}{s^2}[=]G *\frac{kg*kg}{m^2}\\\\G[=]\frac{kg*m*m^2}{kg^2*s^2}\\ \\G[=]\frac{m^3}{kg*s^2}

Thus, answer is:

m³/(kg⋅s²)

Note that the [=] is used to indicate the units of G.

Best regards
