At its closest approach, a moon comes within 200,000 km of the planet it orbits. At that point, the moon is 300,000 km from the

other focus of its orbit, f2. The planet is focus f1 of the moon's elliptical orbit. How far is the moon from the planet when it is 260,000 km from f2?

Answer:

s₁ = 240,000 km

Explanation:

The distance between both the focuses f₁ and f₂ will be the sum of distances of the moon from each focus at a given point. Therefore,

s = s₁ + s₂

where,

s = total distance between the focuses = ?

s₁ = distance between f1 and moon = 200,000 km

s₂ = distance between f₂ and moon = 300,000 km

Therefore,

s = 200,000 km + 300,000 km

s = 500,000 km

Now, when the distance from f₂ becomes 260,000 km, then the distance from f₁(planet) will become:

s = s₁ + s₂

500,000 km = s₁ + 260,000 km

s₁ = 500,000 km - 260,000 km

<u>s₁ = 240,000 km</u>

Light enters air from water. The angle of refraction will be A. less than the angle of incidence. B. greater than or equal to th
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

E. greater than the angle of incidence.

Explanation:

Snell's law states that:

n_i sin \theta_i = n_r sin \theta_r (1)

where

n_i, n_r are the refractive index of the first and second medium

\theta_i, \theta_r are the angle of incidence and refraction, respectively

For light moving from water to air, we have:

n_i = 1.33 (index of refraction of water)

n_r = 1.00 (index of refraction of air)

Substituting into (1) and re-arranging the equation, we get

\sin \theta_r = \frac{n_i}{n_r} sin \theta_i = 1.33 sin \theta_i

which means that

\theta_r > \theta_i

so, the correct answer is

E. greater than the angle of incidence.
