A teacher sets up the following demonstration in which he places a clear glass rod with an index of refraction of 1.47 into a be

aker containing an unknown liquid. When he does this, the submerged portion of the glass rod seems to disappear. The teacher gives the students the following list of possible liquids in which this glass rod has been submerged.
Material Index of Refraction
Salt Water 1.37
Glycerin 1.47
Silicon Oil 1.52

Required:
Which material is most likely to represent the liquid in the beaker and why?
Physics

Answer:

salt water

total internal reflection

Explanation:

Let's analyze this experiment, for the rod to disappear it must have happened that the light coming from it does not reach us that we are seeing from the air n = 1, therefore the light from the rod must be reflected, for this to happen we use the refractive ratio

           n<u>₁</u>  sin θ₁  = n₂ sin θ₂  

where n₁ is the refractive index of the rod, the greatest angle that could exist in the liquid is 90º, therefore sin 90 = 1

            n₁ sin θ₁  = n₂

           sin θ₁ = n₂ /n₁

the only way this expression is correct is that

             n₂ <n₁

that is

             n₂ < 1.47

When reviewing the given materials, the only one that meets this condition is salt water by the total internal reflection

Difference between of echo and reverberation​
KiRa [710]

Answer:

A difference between of echo and reverberation​  is described below in details.

Explanation:

Here's a piece of immediate information: An echo is an individual consideration of a soundwave off a horizon exterior. Reverberation is the consideration of sound waves generated by the superposition of the before-mentioned echoes. ... A reverberation can happen when a sound wave is displayed off a nearby covering.

At a fixed depth within a fluid at rest, the pressure pushing upward is
earnstyle [38]

Answer: E) A) salt water.

Explanation:

E) In equilibrium, pressure exerts equally in all directions, so for a given depth, the pressure is the same for all points located at the same depth, and it can be written as follows:

p = p₀ + ρ.g.h, where p₀ = atmospheric pressure, ρ=fluid density, h=depth from the surface.

A) The buoyant force, as discovered by Archimedes, is an upward force, that opposes to the weight of an object (as it is always downward), and is equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid that the object removes, which means that is proportional to the density of the liquid.

As salt water is denser than fresh water, the buoyant force exerted by the salt water is always greater than the one produced by the fresh water, so objects will float more easily in salt water than in fresh water.

In the limit, it is possible that one object float in salt water and sink in fresh water.

A crane lifts a 1,750 kg mass using a steel cable whose mass per unit length is 0.88 kg/m. What is the speed of transverse waves
Sauron [17]

Answer:

139.6m/s

Explanation:

Calculate the tension first, T=m*g

mass(m): 1750kg, gravity(g): 9.8m/s^2

T= 1750*9.8

 =17150N

Then calculate the wave speed using the equation v = √ (T/μ)

v= √(17150N)/(0.88kg/m)

 =139.6m/s

it takes 560s for a runner to complete one circular lap, moving at a speed of 6.00 m/s. what is the radius of a track?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

534.8 meters

Explanation:

Use T=(2*pi*r)/v

560=(2*pi*r)/6

3360=2*pi*r

1680=pi*r

534.8 meters=radius
