I am thinking that maybe the problem is not with the calibration. It might be that the buffered solution is already expired since at this point the solution is already not stable and will give a different pH reading than what is expected.

A laser beam is incident at an angle of 30.0° from the vertical onto a solution of corn syrup in water. The beam is refracted to

dimaraw [331]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Angle of incidence, $i=30^{\circ}$

Angle of refraction, $r=19.24^{\circ}$

a.Refractive index of air, $n_1=1$

We know that

$n_2sinr=n_1sini$

$n_2=\frac{n_1sin i}{sin r}=\frac{sin30}{sin19.24}=1.517$

b.Wavelength of red light in vacuum, $\lambda=632.8nm=632.8\times 10^{-9} m$

$1nm=10^{-9} m$

Wavelength in the solution, $\lambda'=\frac{\lambda}{n_2}$

$\lambda'=\frac{632.8}{1.517}=417nm$

c.Frequency does not change .It remains same in vacuum and solution.

Frequency, $\nu=\frac{c}{\lamda}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{632.8\times 10^{-9}}$

Where $c=3\times 10^8 m/s$

Frequency, $\nu=4.74\times 10^{14}Hz$

d.Speed in the solution, $v=\frac{c}{n_2}$

$v=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1.517}=1.98\times 10^8m/s$
