An underwater scuba diver sees the Sun at an apparent angle of 43.0° above the horizontal. What is the actual elevation angle of
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The actual elevation angle is 12.87 degrees

Explanation:

In the attachment you can clearly see the situation. The angle of elevation as seen for the scuba diver is shown in magenta, we conclude that \theta_2=90-43=47.

Using Snell's Law we can write:

n_1\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)

\implies \sin(\theta_1)=\frac{n_2}{n_1}\sin(\theta_2),

Let's approximate the index of refraction of the air (medium 1 in the picture) to 1.

We thus have:

\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)=1.333\sin(47)

\implies\theta_1=\arcsin[n_2\sin(\theta_2)]=\arcsin[1.333\sin(47)]\approx 77.13. Calling \alpha the actual angle of elevation, we get from the picture that \alpha=90-77.13=12.97

no, it not useless. we still learn Bohr's model in HS n dats almost 200 yr old! while there may be new models, previous one is good for explaining the basics. it is also useful to learn previous model n see how our understanding improves over time.

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. Assuming the angles involved are small, by what factor will the
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

It will be cut in half

Explanation:

The diffraction of a slit is given by the formula

a sin θ = m where

a = width of the slit,

λ = wavelength and

m = integer that determines the order of diffraction.

Next we divide both sides by a, we have

sin θ = m λ / a

Also, recall that

a’ = 2 a

Then we substitute in the previous equation

2asin θ' = m λ, if divide by 2a, we have

sin θ' = (m λ / 2a).

Now again, from the first equation, we said that sin θ = m λ / a, so we substitute

sin θ ’= sin θ / 2

Then we use trigonometry to find the width, we say

tan θ = y / L

Since the angle is small, we then have

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

tan θ = sin θ, this then means that

sin θ = y / L

we will then substitute

y’ / L = y/L 1/2

y' = y / 2

this means that when the slit width is doubled the pattern width will then be halved
