n₂ = index of refraction of glass = 1.58

n₁ = index of refraction of air = 1

θ = Brewster's angle

Brewster's angle is that incident angle at which the the reflected light from the interface of two medium is completely polarized.

Brewster's angle is given as

θ = tan⁻¹(n₂ /n₁ )

θ = tan⁻¹(1.58/1 )

θ = 57.7 deg

hence the Brewster's angle comes out to be 57.7 deg

A ball is thrown straight up from the ground with speed v0. At the same instant, a second ball is dropped from rest from a heigh

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

a) $t = H/v_0$

b) $H = v_0^2/g$

Explanation:

Let the first ball throw be the point of reference, we can have following the equation of motion:

1st ball: $h_1 = v_0t - gt^2/2$

2nd ball: $h_2 = H - gt^2/2$

a)When the 2 balls collide they are at the same spot at the same time:

$h_1 = h_2$

$v_0t - gt^2/2 = H - gt^2/2$

$v_0t = H$

$t = H/v_0$

b) The first ball is at its highest point when v = 0. That is

$t = v_0/g$

After this time, the 2 balls would have traveled through a distance of

$h_1 = v_0t - gt^2/2 = v_0^2/g - v_0^2/2g$

$h_2 = gt^2/2 = v_0^2/2g$

Since $H = h_1 + h_2$ we can solve for H

$H = v_0^2/g - v_0^2/2g + v_0^2/2g = v_0^2/g$

dusya [7]

Answer: CONDENSER

Explanation:

CONDENSER is the component of the microscope that is found directly under the stage, and contains two sets of lenses that collect and concentrate light as it passes upward from the light source into the lens systems. The condenser increases the resolution of light.

A microscope is an instrument that is used in laboratory to examine objects that can't be viewed with the naked eye. This is possible with as it is designed with lenses that aids in magnification of the objects.
