Answer:

energy can move from one location to another, the particles of matter in the medium return to their fixed position. A wave transports its energy without transporting matter.

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

vovikov84 [41]

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.

If V has a magnitude of 14 units and the same direction qs a vector 3i+6j+2k find v

melomori [17]

Answer:

v = 6i + 12j + 4k

Explanation:

Find the magnitude of the direction vector.

√(3² + 6² + 2²) = 7

Normalize the direction vector.

3/7 i + 6/7 j + 2/7 k

Multiply by the magnitude of v.

v = 14 (3/7 i + 6/7 j + 2/7 k)

v = 6i + 12j + 4k

What is the wavelenght of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 11 km/s and a frequency of 15 Hz

Zolol [24]

Answer:

The wavelength is about 733 meters.

Explanation:

Use the wavelength-frequency relationship:

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}= \frac{11000 \frac{m}{s}}{15 s^{-1}}\approx733m$

The wavelength is about 733 meters.

How do solar panels work with conduction, convection and radiation?

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

<em>In the case of a solar thermal panel we are trying to heat above the ambient temperature so conduction and convection will work against us by taking heat from the panel to the out- side world. ... The sun (at 6000 C surface temperature) is hotter than the solar panel so the panel will get hot due to the solar radiation.</em>
