Answer

given,

Echo time = t = 1000 s

speed = ?

v = \dfrac{d}{t}

a) speed of electromagnetic wave

c = \dfrac{d}{t}

wave travels Venus two time

c = \dfrac{2d}{t}

d = \dfrac{ct}{2}

d = \dfrac{3 \times 10^8\times 1000}{2}

d = 1.5 x 10¹¹ m

b) now, echo time

    c = \dfrac{2d}{t}

    t = \dfrac{2d}{c}

    t = \dfrac{2\times 75}{3 \times 10^8}

          t = 5 x 10⁻⁷ s

A layer of oil (n = 1.38) floats on an unknown liquid. A ray of light originates in the oil and passes into the unknown liquid.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

Explanation:

Using Snell's law as:

n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence  ( 65.0° )

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction  ( 53.0° )

{n_r} is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (unknown liquid, n=?)

{n_i} is the refractive index of the incidence medium (oil, n=1.38)

Hence,  

1.38\times {sin65.0^0}={n_r}\times{sin53.0^0}

Solving for {n_r},

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

What is the critical angle of light traveling from benzene (n=1.501) into air?
Taya2010 [7]
The critical angle formula should be: sin^-1(1/n) 

 where "n" is 1.501 into the air

<span>The critical angle of light travelling from benzene, happens because the larger angles of incidence from the inside of the benzene has experienced the total internal reflection. </span>

A non-conducting sphere of radius R = 3.0 cm carries a charge Q = 2.0 mC distributed uniformly throughout its volume. At what di
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm

Explanation:

given data

Radius of sphere 3.0 cm

charge Q = 2.0 m C

We know that maximum electric field is given as

E_{MAX}= \frac{KQ}{r^{2}}

electric field inside the sphere can be determine by using below relation

\frac{KQ}{r^{2}}= \frac{1}{2}*\frac{KQ}{R^{2}}

r = \sqrt{2}R

r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm

Difference between reproducibility and replicability
victus00 [196]
Suppose you are doing an experiment where you determine the value of one parameter, say density of a liquid. You have two methods in doing this. By finding the mass and volume, and by using a densitometer. Reproducibility is when you get the same value of density for both methods. Replicability is when you have similar results in one method. So, replicability is a measure of precision, while reproducibility is a measure of accuracy.
