A fiber-optic rod consists of a central strand of material surrounded by an outer coating. the interior portion of the rod has a

n index of refraction of 1.55. if all rays striking the interior walls of the rod with incident angles greater than 59.5° are subject to total internal reflection, what is the index of refraction of the coating?

Answer:

the index of refraction of the coating is 1.33  

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

refraction index of  interior portion of the rod η_{interior = 1.55

angle of incidence θ_i = 59.5°

From Snell's law, we know that;

η_{interior × sinθ_i  = η_{coating × sinθ_r

where η_{interior  is the index of refraction of the rod ( material 1 )

θ_i  is the angle of incidence

η_{coating is the index of refraction in outer coating ( material 2 )

θ_r is the angle of refraction

so we substitute our values into the equation;

η_{interior × sinθ_i  = η_{coating × sinθ_r

1.55 × sin( 59.5° )  = η_{coating × sin( 90° )

1.55 × 0.861629  = η_{coating × 1

1.3355 = η_{coating × 1

η_{coating = 1.33   { 2 decimal places }

Therefore, the index of refraction of the coating is 1.33

Suppose that a sound has initial intensity β1 measured in decibels. This sound now increases in intensity by a factor f. What is
topjm [15]

Answer:

β2= β1+10*f

Explanation:

comparing β2 and β1, it is said that β2 is increased by a factor of f.

for each factor of f, there is a 10*f dB increase.

therefore if the β1 is increases by an intensity of factor f

the new intensity would be β1+ 10*f

Two uncharged metal spheres, spaced 25.0 cm apart, have a capacitance of 26.0 pF. How much work would it take to move 12.0 nC of
viktelen [127]

Answer:

W=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two spheres, r = 25 cm = 0.25 m

The capacitance, C = 26 pF = 26×10⁻¹² F

Charge, Q = 12 nC = 12 × 10⁻⁹ C

We need to find the work done in moving the charge. We know that, work done is given by :

U=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}

Put all the values,

U=\dfrac{(12\times 10^{-9})^2}{2\times 26\times 10^{-12}}\\\\U=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J

So, the work done is 2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J.

Which of the following mixture can be separate using decantation method?​
vivado [14]

Answer:

Hi sorry for answering here but you didnt put the options there

Explanation:

I'll still try to answer though so maybe the mixture from one of the questions might be something like oil and water which don't mix and can be separated by decantation so something similar would work. Hope this helps

An 50kg car travels at 2m/s. What is the car's Kinetic energy? <br> 100J<br> 200J<br> 50J
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The answer is 100J.

Explanation:

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. In this question, the mass is equals to 50kg and the velocity is 2m/s

Now,

25kg×4m/s^2 = 100kgm/s^2 or 100J
