A glass optical fiber is used to transport a light ray across a long distance. The fiber has an index of refraction of 1.540 and

is submerged in glycerin, which has an index of refraction of 1.473. What is the critical angle (in degrees) for the light ray to remain inside the fiber

Answer:

73.13°

Explanation:

According to snell's law,

n1sinθi = n2sinθr

n1/n2 = sinθr/sinθi

Critical angle is the angle of incidence at the denser medium when the angle of incidence at the less dense medium is 90°

This means i=C and r = 90°

The Snell's law formula will become

n1/n2 = sinC/sin90°

n2/n1 = 1/sinC

Where n1 is the refractive index of the less dense medium = 1.473

n2 is the refractive index of the denser medium = 1.540

Substituting the values in the formula,

1.540/1.473 = 1/sinC

1.045 = 1/sinC

SinC = 1/1.045

SinC = 0.957

C = sin^-1(0.957)

C = 73.13°

Answer:

a. Constant gossiping, and talking negative about a student could cause them to feel very very ill about their beliefs, their familly, school, clothes, etc. this  scenario will make the student feel alienated.

b. The club should advise the students that they should not participate in these talks, allow them into their groups, and should try to talk people out of those conversations.

c. The advice will keep several kids pull away from talking negatively about the kid, help stop the ill intended gossip, and hopefully make them feel better.

Two masses sit at the top of two frictionless inclined planes that have different angles,__deleted9917f34947e1359b5705bbac0d9227
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

v = \sqrt{2gh}

the speed in the two planes will be the same since it does not depend on the angle of the same

Explanation:

In this exercise we are told that the two inclined planes have no friction force, so we can apply the conservation of energy for each one, we will assume that the initial height in the two planes is the same

starting point. Highest part of each plane

         Em₀ = U = m g h

final point. Lowest part of each plane

        Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

as there is no friction, the mechanical energy is preserved

          Em₀ = Em_{f}

          mg h = ½ m v²

          v = \sqrt{2gh}

As we can see, the speed in the two planes will be the same since it does not depend on the angle of the same

What occurs during an exothermic change
Likurg_2 [28]
In an exothermic reaction, there is a transfer of energy to the surroundings in the form of heat energy. The surroundings of the reaction will experience an increase in temperature. Many types of chemical reactions are exothermic, including combustion reactions, respiration & neutralization reactions of bases & acids.

A mountain lion jumps to a height of 3.25 m when leaving the ground at an angle of 43.2°. What is its initial speed (in m/s) as
miss Akunina [59]

Recall that

{v_f}^2={v_i}^2+2a\Delta y

where v_i and v_f are the lion's initial and final vertical velocities, a is its acceleration, and \Delta y is the vertical displacement.

At its maximum height, the lion has 0 vertical velocity, so we have

0={v_i}^2-2gy_{\rm max}

where <em>g</em> is the acceleration due to gravity, 9.80 m/s², and we take the starting position of the lion on the ground to be the origin so that \Delta y=y_{\rm max}-0=y_{\rm max}.

Let <em>v</em> denote the initial speed of the jump. Then

v_i=v\sin(43.2^\circ)=\sqrt{2\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(3.25\,\mathrm m)}\implies\boxed{v\approx11.7\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}
