PLEASE HELP 50 pts + brainliest. 3. A laser light travels from air (n=1) through water (n=1.33), and then a piece of glass (n=1.

55). The light first enters the water at an angle of 25.0 degrees (from air to water). Draw a diagram. Use Snell’s Law to find the angle of refraction in the water and then in the glass. I don't know how to do this.

Answer: the angle of refraction in the water is 34.2 degrees and then in the glass is 41 degrees approximately

Explanation:

A laser light travels from air (n=1) through water (n=1.33), and then a piece of glass (n=1.55).

If the light first enters the water at an angle of 25.0 degrees (from air to water). That means

The incident angle  = 25 degrees

Using Snell' law

n(air)/n(water) = sin 25/sin R

Where R is the angle of refraction

1/1.33 = sin 25/sin R

Make sin R the subject of formula

Sin R = sin 25 / 0.7518

Sin R = 0.5620

R = sin^-1(0.5620)

R = 34.2 degrees

This angle will be an incident angle when the light is travelling from the water to glass. Using Snell law agains,

1.33/1.55 = sin 34.2/sin R

Cross multiply

1.33 sin R = 0.87122

Make R the subject of formula

Sin R = 0.87122/1.33

Sin R = 0.6550

R = sin^-1(0.6550)

R = 40.9 degrees

Therefore, the angle of refraction in the water is 34.2 degrees and then in the glass is 41 degrees approximately.

Contrast electron movement within conductors and insulators.
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

● What makes conductors special is that they have some free electrons that can move.

● An insulator has no free electrons wich explains why current isn't transmitted through it.

Light traveling through air encounter a second medium which slows the light to 2.7 x 10^8. What is the index of the medium?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

1.11

Explanation:

The index of the medium can be calculated using below formula

V= c/ n ............eqn(1)

Where V= velocity of the light is reduced to while traveling through the second medium= 2.7 x 10^8 m/s

n= index of the medium

c= speed of light= 3 x 10^8 m/s

Substitute for the values in eqn(1)

2.7 x 10^8 = (3 x 10^8 m/s)/ n

Making " n" subject of the formula, we have

n= (3 x 10^8 )/(2.7 x 10^8)

n= 1.11

Hence, the index of the medium is 1.11

Particles 1 and 2 of charge q1 = q2 = +3.20 × 10−19 C are on a y axis at distance d = 17.0 cm from the origin. Particle 3 of cha
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

(a) 0.17 m

(b) 5.003 m

(c) 6.38 × 10^{-26} N

(d) 7.37 ×10^{-29} N

Explanation:

(a) The minimum value of x will occur when q3 = 0 m or at origin and q1, q2 are at 0.17 m so the distance between q3 and q1, q2 is 0.17 m, therefore the <em>minimum value of x= 0.17 m</em>.

(b) The maximum value of x will occur when q3 = 5 m because it is said in the question that 5 is the maximum distance travelled by q3. To find the hypotenuse i.e. the distance between q3 and q1,q2, we use Pythagoras theorem.

h^{2} = b^{2} + p^{2}

h^{2} = 5^{2} + 0.17^{2}   \\h = \sqrt{} 25.03\\h= 5.002 m

<em>Hence, the maximum distance is 5.002 m</em>

(c) For minimum magnitude we use the minimum distance calculated in (a)

Minimum Distance = 0.17 m

For electrostatic force=     F=\frac{kq1q2}{x^{2} }

F=\frac{9 x 10^{9} x3.2x10^{-19}x 6.4x10^{-19}  }{0.17^{2} }

F= 6.38×10^{-26} N

(d) For maximum magnitude, we use the maximum distance calculated in (b)

Maximum Distance = 5.002 m

Using the formula for electrostatic force again:

F =  \frac{9x10^{9}x3.2x10^{-19}x6.4x10^{-19}   }{5.002^{2} } }

F= 7.37×10^{-29 N

A jet airplane is in level flight. The mass of the airplane is m=9010kg. The airplane travels at a constant speed around a circu
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The magnitude of the lift force L = 92.12 kN

The required angle is ≅ 16.35°

Explanation:

From the given information:

mass of the airplane = 9010 kg

radius of the airplane R = 9.77 mi

period T = 0.129 hours = (0.129 × 3600) secs

= 464.4 secs

The angular speed can be determined by using the expression:

ω = 2π / T

ω = 2 π/ 464.4

ω = 0.01353 rad/sec

The direction \theta = tan^{-1} ( \dfrac{\omega ^2 R}{g})

\theta = tan^{-1} ( \dfrac{0.01353 ^2 \times (9.77\times 1609)}{9.81})

θ = 16.35°

The magnitude of the lift force  L = mg ÷ Cos(θ)

L = (9010 × 9.81) ÷ Cos(16.35)

L = 88388.1  ÷ 0.9596

L = 92109.32 N

L = 92.12 kN
