A light ray incident from medium 1 to medium 2, where n1>n2. When the incident angle exceed the critical angle ac, the refrac

ted angle exceed 90o, which means no light transmitted into medium 2. This is known as the total internal reflection. What is the critical angle "ac" (ac<90 degree) for total internal refection to occur? Can total internal refection occur with n1< n2? Explain.

Explanation:

(a)

Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.

Using Snell's law as:

n_1\times {sin\theta_i}={n_2}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction = 90°

{n_2} is the refractive index of the refraction medium

{n_1} is the refractive index of the incidence medium

Thus,

n_1\times {sin\ \theta_{critical}}={n_2}\times{sin\ 90^0}

The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:

{sin\theta_{critical}}=\frac {n_2}{n_1}

Where,  

{\theta_{critical}} is the critical angle

(b)

No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.

Helen [10]

Your weight on the moon given the data from the question is 110.5 N

<h3>Definition of mass and weight </h3>

Mass is simply defined as the quantity of matter present in an object. The mass of an object is constant irrespective of the location of the object.

Weight is simply defined as the gravitational pull on an object. The weight of an object varies from place to place due to gravity.

<h3>Relationship between mass and weight </h3>

Mass and weight are related according to the following equation

Weight (W) = mass (m) × Acceleration due to gravity (g)

<h3>How to determine the weight on the moon</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 65 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity on the moon (g) = 1.7 m/s²
  • Weight (W) =?

W = mg

W = 65 × 1.7

W = 110.5 N

When baking soda is mixed with lemon juice, bubbles are formed with the evolution of a gas. What type of change is it? Explain.

\sf \red{When \: baking \: soda \: is \: mixed \: with \: lemon \: juice, \: bubbles \: are \: formed \: with \: the \: evolution \: of \: a \: gas.}

\large{\underline{\underline{\pmb{\frak {\color {blue}{Answer:}}}}}}

When baking soda is mixed with lemon juice, bubbles are formed with the evolution of a gas. The gas is formed in the reaction is Carbon dioxide. CO_{2} is formed.

The change which happened in this reaction is a chemical change.

\boxed{ \frak \green{Explanation}}

Since, in chemical change we can't bring a substance to it's actual form how it was in earlier.

Examples: burning of paper is chemical, since we can't get the fine paper again after it is burnt.

Thus, the above reaction is also a chemical change, since we can't get back the lemon juice how it was earlier.

1- ¿Cuál sería la energía de un objeto de 50 newton de peso que se encuentra sobre una estantería de 3 metros de altura? ¿Qué ti
Liula [17]

Responder:

<h3>150 Nm </h3><h3>Energía potencial </h3>

Explicación:

El tipo de energía que posee el objeto se conoce como energía potencial. <u>La energía potencial es la energía que posee un objeto, mi virtud de su posición. </u>

Energía potencial = masa * aceleración debido a la gravedad * altura

Dado que Force = masa * aceleración debido a la gravedad

Energía potencial = Fuerza * altura

Fuerza dada = 50N y altura = 3 m

Energía potencial = 50 * 3

Energía potencial = 150 Nm
