Answer:
n_cladding = 1.4764
Explanation:
We are told that θ_max = 5 °
Thus;
θ_max + θ_c = 90°
θ_c = 90° - θ_max
θ_c = 90° - 5°
θ_c = 85°
Now, critical angle is given by;
θ_c = sin^(-1) (n_cladding/n_core)
sin θ_c = (n_cladding/n_core)
n_cladding = (n_core) × sin θ_c
Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
n_cladding = 1.482 × sin 85
n_cladding = 1.4764
The complete sentence is:
A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.
In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation

where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and
is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.
Answer
t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy:

where,
P = Electric Power of Heater = 300 W
t = time required = ?
m_g = mass of glass = 300 g = 0.3 kg
m_w = mass of water = 250 g = 0.25 kg
C_g = speicific heat of glass = 840 J/kg.°C
C_w = specific heatof water = 4184 J/kg.°C
ΔT_g = ΔT_w = Change in Temperature of Glass and water = 100°C - 15°C
ΔT_g = ΔT_w = 85°C
Therefore,

<u>t = 367.77 s = 6.13 min</u>
