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)

Three point charges are arranged along the x-axis. Charge q1 = +3.00 uC is at the origin, and charge q2= -5.00 uC is at x= 0.200
artcher [175]
We have all the charges for q1, q2, and q3. 
Since k = 8.988x10^2, and N=m^2/c^2

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)

F(2on1) = k |q1 q2| / r(the distance between the two)^2
k^ | 3x10^-6 x -5 x 10^-6 |   / (.2m)^2
F(2on1) = 3.37 N

Since F1 is 7N,

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)
7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)

Since it wil be going in the negative direction,
-7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)
F(3on1) = -10.37N

F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| / r(the distance between the two)^2 
r^2 x F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| 
r = sqrt of k |q1 q3| / F(3on1) 
= .144 m (distance between q1 and q3)
0 - .144m 

So it's located in -.144m

Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
