A. A light wave moves through glass (n=1.5) at an angle of 25°. What angle will it have when it moves from the glass into air (n

torisob [31]

PART A)

By Snell's law we know that

$n_1sin i = n_2 sin r$

here we know that

$n_1 = 1.5$

$i = 25 degree$

$n_2 = 1$

now from above equation we have

$1.5 sin25 = 1 sin r$

$r = 39.3 degree$

so it will refract by angle 39.3 degree

PART B)

Here as we can see that image formed on the other side of lens

So it is a real and inverted image

Also we can see that size of image is lesser than the size of object here

Here we can use concave mirror to form same type of real and inverted image

PART C)

As per the mirror formula we know that

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{60} = \frac{1}{20}$

$d_i = 30 cm$

so image will form at 30 cm from mirror

it is virtual image and smaller in size

Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling are called

Nikolay [14]

1. a. longitudinal waves.

There are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.

So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.

2. d. a medium

There are two types of waves:

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium

3. a. AM/FM radio

Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.

When light moves from air to glass, part of the light is reflected and part of it is refracted. In the image, which ray shows re

marissa [1.9K]

You have not provided the diagram, therefore, I cannot provide an exact answer.
However, I will try to help by explaining how to solve this problem.

When light moves from air to glass:
1- part of the light is reflected back into the air where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
2- part of the light enters the water and refracts. The angle of refraction can be calculated using Snell's law.

In a diagram, the reflected ray would be the one getting back into air while the refracted ray would be the one entering the water.

You can check the attached diagram for further illustrations.

Hope this helps :)
