Answer:

The critical angle for light is 41.81 degrees.

Explanation:

We have, light is propagating from a material with index of refraction of 1.50 to a material with index of refraction of 1. It is required to find the critical angle for light. It is angle for which the angle of refraction is equal to 90 degrees. It is given by :

\sin\theta_c=\dfrac{n_2}{n_1}\\\\\theta_c=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{n_2}{n_1})\\\\\theta_c=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1}{1.5})\\\\\theta_c=41.81^{\circ}

So, the critical angle for light is 41.81 degrees.

What does the rotational speed of the ring module have to be so that an astronaut standing on the outer rim of the ring module f
Usimov [2.4K]

Complete question:

In the movie The Martian, astronauts travel to Mars in a spaceship called Hermes. This ship has a ring module that rotates around the ship to create “artificial gravity” within the module. Astronauts standing inside the ring module on the outer rim feel like they are standing on the surface of the Earth. (The trailer for this movie shows Hermes at t=2:19 and demonstrates the “artificial gravity” concept between t= 2:19 and t=2:24.)

Analyzing a still frame from the trailer and using the height of the actress to set the scale, you determine that the distance from the center of the ship to the outer rim of the ring module is 11.60 m

What does the rotational speed of the ring module have to be so that an astronaut standing on the outer rim of the ring module feels like they are standing on the surface of the Earth?

Answer:

The rotational speed of the ring module have to be 0.92 rad/s

Explanation:

Given;

the distance from the center of the ship to the outer rim of the ring module r, = 11.60 m

When the astronaut standing on the outer rim of the ring module feels like they are standing on the surface of the Earth, then their centripetal acceleration will be equal to acceleration due to gravity of Earth.

Centripetal acceleration, a = g = 9.8 m/s²

Centripetal acceleration, a = v²/r

But v = ωr

a = g = ω²r

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}} = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{11.6} } = 0.92 \ rad/s

Therefore, the rotational speed of the ring module have to be 0.92 rad/s

1. In a<br> wave, the particles of the<br> medium move in the same direction as the<br> wave motion.
iragen [17]
In sound waves, the particles move in the same direction as the wave is moving, so you wouldn't be able to see them like ripples in the air, instead they make areas in the air where the particles are more squished together, and areas where the particles are further apart.
