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)

The number of kilowatts used by an individual to operate his appliances is determined as 12.1 kWh.

<h3>Average daily power consumption</h3>

The average daily power consumption is the amount of electric energy consumed by an individual on a daily rate.

The average daily power consumption of individuals in USA is 12,100 W-hr.

<h3>Converting watts to kilowatts</h3>

E = 12,100 Whr/1000

E = 12.1 kWh

Thus, the number of kilowatts used by an individual to operate his appliances is determined as 12.1 kWh.

A tuning fork with a frequency of 512 Hz is used to tune a violin. When played together, beats are heard with a frequency of 4 H
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

<em> 508Hz</em>

Explanation:

A tuning fork with a frequency of 512 Hz is used to tune a violin. When played together, beats are heard with a frequency of 4 Hz. The string on the violin is tightened and when played again, the beats have a frequency of 2 Hz. The original frequency of the violin was ______.

When two sound waves of different frequency approach your ear, the alternating constructive and destructive interference causes the sound to be alternatively soft and loud - this phenomenon is beat production

frequency is the number of oscillation a wave makes in one seconds.

f1-f2=beats

therefore f1=512Hz

f2=?

beats=4Hz

512Hz-f2=4Hz

f2=512-4

f2=508Hz

the original frequency of the violin is 508Hz

4.Use Ohm’s Law to determine the resistance in a circuit if the voltage is 12.0 volts and the current is 4.0 amps.

A. 8.0 ohms B. 48 ohms C. 3.0 ohms D. 12 ohms

Ohm's law is V=IR, or I=V/R, or R=V/I. (I= current, V= voltage, R= resistance.) Let's plug in our variables: V=12.0, I=4.0, R=? into the equation R=V/I. 12.0/4.0=3.0, so the resistance is 3.0 ohms.
