A ray of light passes from air into a block of clear plastic. How does the angle of incidence in the air compare to the angle of

andre [41]

Answer:

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.

When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where :

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:

$n_1=1.00$ (index of refraction of air)

$n_2=1.50$ approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)

Snell's Law can be rewritten as

$sin \theta_2 =\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin \theta_1$

And since $n_2>n_1$ , we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

And so

$\theta_2$

Which means that

The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction

The angle a vector makes with the x-axis of a coordinate system must be what size in order to make one or more of its components

Aneli [31]

If only 1 option is correct then it is (D)
All the others can also make one component negative, all depends how u measured the angle.

What measurement do we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Newtons.

Explanation:

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

$F = ma$

Where;

F represents force measured in Newton.

m represents the mass of an object measured in kilograms.

a represents acceleration measured in meter per seconds square.

Newtons is a measurement we use to determine the amount of force used to move an object by a simple machine. It is the International System of Units (SI) used to measure force and has a symbol of N.

Basically, it was named after Sir Isaac Newton based on his fundamental works in the field of mechanics (motions).

Joanna wants to determine the speed of sound in xenon. When she plays a tone with a frequency of 440 Hz, the resulting sound wav

iVinArrow [24]

The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s

<h3 /><h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed can be defined as the ratio of the total distance traveled by a body to the total time taken.

To calculate the speed of the sound in the xenon, we use the formula below.

Formula:

v = λf............. Equation 1

Where:

v = Speed of the sound in xenon
f = Frequency
λ = Wavelength.

From the question,

Given:

f = 440 Hz
λ = 40.4 cm = 0.404 m

Substitute the values above into equation 1

v = 440(0.404)
v = 177.76 m/s.
v ≈ 178 m/s

Hence, The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s
