Answer:

θ₁ = cos⁻¹ (n₁ / 2n₂)

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the law of refraction

       n₁ sint θ₁ = n₂. sin θ₂

Where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices for the two media, θ₁ and θ₂, the angles of incidence and refraction

They tell us that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle refracted over 2

    θ₁ = θ₂ / 2

    θ₂ = 2 θ₁

Let's replace

    n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's use the trigonometry relationship

    sin 2θ = 2 sinθ cos θ

    n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ (2 sin θ₁ cos θ₁)

    n₁ = n₂ cos θ₁

    cos θ₁ = n₁ / 2 n₂

    θ₁ = cos⁻¹ (n₁ / 2n₂)

Therefore, the angle of incidence is

   θ₁ = cos⁻¹ (n₁ / 2n₂)

Introduction Team Problem 2 You jump into the deep end of Legion Pool and swim to the bottom with a pressure gauge. The gauge at
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Depth of the pool, h = 4.004 cm

Explanation:

Pressure at the bottom, P = 39240 N/m²

The density of water, d = 1000 kg/m³

The pressure at the bottom is given by :

P = dgh

We need to find the depth of pool. Let h is the depth of the pool. So,

h=\dfrac{P}{dg}

h=\dfrac{39240\ N/m^2}{1000\ kg/m^3\times 9.8\ m/s^2}

h = 4.004 m

So, the pool is 4.004 meters pool. Hence, this is the required solution.

Sea and land breezes are caused because ____.
Bogdan [553]
Sea and land breezes are caused because the land heats and cools more quickly than the water. The correct option for the given question is option “b”. A sea breeze is a breeze that blows from the sea to the land. The land becomes coo quicker than the sea resulting in the sea breeze. A land breeze is caused during the day when the land is hotter than the sea. The hot air blows from the land towards the sea.

Alekssandra [29.7K]
<span>The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is necessary for the sense of sight in humans is called visible light. This portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is composed of the various colors that the human eyes can distinguish. Each color has a corresponding wavelength. The human eyes can see wavelengths between 390-700 nm, and visible light ranges from 380-750 nm.</span>
