If Light is travels from air into pure water with an incident angle of 30°. What is the angle of refraction?

Physics
1 answer:
Orlov [11]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

For air, n1 = 1.00003; for water, n2 = 1.3330

Given: θ2 = 30 degrees, then

θ1 = arcsin [(n2/n1) sin θ2]

= arcsin [(1.3330/1.0003) sin (40)]

= 58.93 degrees

Note that since, in this example, light is traveling from a medium of higher density (water; n2 = 1.3330) to a medium of lower density (air; n1 = 1.0003), then n2 > n1, and the angle of refraction (θ1) is larger than the angle of incidence (θ2), thus the light bends away from the normal (in this example, the vertical) as it leaves the water and enters the air.

Freezing Point Depression: Can someone explain this formula to me? ΔTf = Kfcm
Leya [2.2K]
If the solution is treated as an ideal solution, the extent of freezing point depression depends only on the solute concentration that can be estimated by a simple linear relationship with the cryoscopic constant: ΔTF = KF · m · i ΔTF, the freezing point depression, is defined as TF (pure solvent) - TF (solution). KF, the cryoscopic constant, which is dependent on the properties of the solvent, not the solute. Note: When conducting experiments, a higher KF value makes it easier to observe larger drops in the freezing point. For water, KF = 1.853 K·kg/mol.[1] m is the molality (mol solute per kg of solvent) i is the van 't Hoff factor (number of solute particles per mol, e.g. i = 2 for NaCl).

What is the half-reaction that occurs at the cathode during the electrolysis of molten potassium bromide?
polet [3.4K]

The complete ionization of KBr into its constituents is:<span>
<span>KBr (s)  --->  K+ (aq)  +  Br- (aq)</span></span>

<span>
During electrolysis, oxidation takes place at the anode electrode. This means that an ion is stripped off its electron hence becoming more positive:
<span>2 Br- (aq)  --->  Br2 (g) + 2e- </span></span>

We can see that Bromine gas Br2 is evolved at the anode. 

<span>
<span>Meanwhile at the cathode, the reduction reaction occurs. Which means that the electron from the anode electrode is used to make an ion more negative:
<span>2K+ (aq)  +  2e-  --->  2K (s) </span></span>
Hence, through reduction, solid potassium is deposited on the plate.</span>

 

 

Half reactions:

<span>Anode: 2 Br- (aq)  --->  Br2 (g) + 2e- </span>                       

<span>Cathode: 2K+ (aq)  +  2e-  --->  2K (s) </span>

What are the methods that are used for heat transfer
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat. If there is a temperature difference between two systems heat will always find a way to transfer from the higher to lower system.

What is the frequency of orange light is it has a wavelength of 6.2 x 10^-6<br> meters?
Tanya [424]

λ=v/f

λ-wavelength

v-speed

f-frequency

we have the wavelength(6.2 x 10^-6meters) and we use the speed of light which is equal to 3*10^8m/s

6.2*10^-6m=3*10^8m/s/f

f=(3*10^8m/s)/(6.2*10^-6)≈0.48*10^14Hz

When heat moves from the ocean to the surrounding air, which is this an example of?
Blizzard [7]
B) The transfer of energy from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere

This is because oceans are part of the hydrosphere. As the air warms it flows up into the atmosphere.

Hope this helps!
