A narrow beam of light from a laser travels through air (n = 1.00) and strikes the surface of the water (n = 1.33) in a lake at

point A. The angle of incidence is 70 degrees. The depth of the lake is 4.3 m. On the flat lake-bottom is point B, directly below point A. (a) If refraction did not occur, how far away from point B would the laser beam strike the lakebottom? (b) Considering refraction, how far away from point B would the laser beam strike the lake-bottom?

Answer:

A) d = 11.8m

B) d = 4.293 m

Explanation:

A) We are told that the angle of incidence;θ_i = 70°.

Now, if refraction doesn't occur, the angle of the light continues to be 70° in the water relative to the normal. Thus;

tan 70° = d/4.3m

Where d is the distance from point B at which the laser beam would strike the lakebottom.

So,d = 4.3*tan70

d = 11.8m

B) Since the light is moving from air (n1=1.00) to water (n2=1.33), we can use Snell's law to find the angle of refraction(θ_r)

So,

n1*sinθ_i = n2*sinθ_r

Thus; sinθ_r = (n1*sinθ_i)/n2

sinθ_r = (1 * sin70)/1.33

sinθ_r = 0.7065

θ_r = sin^(-1)0.7065

θ_r = 44.95°

Thus; xonsidering refraction, distance from point B at which the laser beam strikes the lake-bottom is calculated from;

d = 4.3 tan44.95

d = 4.293 m

What is the frequency of this wave?
Anastasy [175]
In telecommunication systems, Carrier frequency is a technical term used to indicate: ... The frequency of the unmodulated electromagnetic wave at the output of a conventional amplitude-modulated (AM-unsupressed carrier), or frequency-modulated (FM), or phase-modulated (PM) radio transmitter.

Consider the following statement:
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The statement "The magnetic field of a magnet comes out of the north pole and goes into the south pole" is imprecise

Explanation:

This is because the zero divergence equation (∇ · B = 0 ) is valid for any magnetic field, even if it is time dependent rather than static. Physically, it means that there are no magnetic charges otherwise we would have ∇ · B ∝ ρmag instead of ∇ · B = 0. Consequently, the magnetic field lines never begin or end anywhere in space; instead they form closed loops or run from infinity to infinity.

Taya2010 [7]

The speed of the ball with respect to Dina is 0.800c.

A frame of reference is a set of reference points—geometric points whose positions are known mathematically and physically—that define the origin, orientation, and scale of an abstract coordinate system.

If a body does not continuously adjust its position in relation to its environment throughout the course of time, it is said to be at rest.

In frame S', Dina and Owen are at rest.

The speed of the ball with respect to Owen, u =0.800c

The speed of the fram S' with respect to frame S,  v = 0.600c

Distance between Dina and Owen, L(p) = 1.8 × 10¹² m

Speed of light, c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the ball according to Dina is 0.800c. As Dina and Owen are in the same frame.
