There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection, which is when light hits the boundary between two mediums and reflects back into its original medium:
Light is about to pass from a more optically dense medium (slower) to a less optically dense medium (faster).
The angle of incidence is greater than the defined critical angle for the two mediums, which is given by:
θ = sin⁻¹(
/
)
Where θ = critical angle, = refractive index of faster medium, = refractive index of slower medium.
Choice C gives one of the above necessary conditions.
Answer:
7.68 m
Explanation:
Kinetic energy in ball = elastic energy in spring
KE = EE
½ mv² = ½ kx²
mv² = kx²
x = v √(m / k)
x = (38.5 m/s) √(20.5 kg / 515 N/m)
x = 7.68 m
Noble gasses have an outer shell full of electrons. A full outer energy level is the most stable arrangement of electrons. As a result, noble gases cannot become more stable by reacting with other elements and gaining or losing valence electrons. Therefore, noble gases are rarely involved in chemical reactions and almost never form compounds with other elements.
