A ray of light travels from a glass-to-liquid interface at an angle of 35.0º. Indices of refraction for the glass and liquid are
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The angle of refraction for the ray moving through the liquid is = 32.3°

Explanation:

Refractive index of liquid (n₁/n₂) = sini/sinr

∴                 n₁/n₂ = sini/sinr ................ equation 1

n₁ = index of refraction for glass, n₂ = index of refraction for liquid

Where i = incident angle of the first medium, r = angle of refraction or angle in the second medium.

Since the light ray is traveling from glass - to - liquid,  the first medium is glass and the second medium is liquid. and the refractive index will be that liquid with respect to glass.

using the equation,

n₁/n₂ = sini/sinr

i = 35° , n₁ = 1.52, n₂= 1.63

Making sinr the subject of the equation above,

sinr = sini/(n₁/n₂)

sinr = sin35(1.52)/1.63

sinr =0.574(1.52)/1.63

sinr = 0.535

Taking the sin inverse of both side of the equation

sin⁻¹(sinr) = sin⁻¹(0.535)

∴ r = 32.3°

The angle of refraction for the ray moving through the liquid is = 32.3°

The right option is (b). 32.3°

A cylindrical tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume of the tank to be changed. The tank originally contains 0.1
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

0.10013 atm

Explanation:

Applying Boyle's Law,

P'V' = PV................... Equation 1

Where P' = Initial pressure of air, V' = Initial volume of air, P = Final pressure of air, V = Final volume of air.

make P the subject of the equation

P = P'V'/V..................... Equation 2

Given: P' = 0.355 atm, V'  0.110 m³, V = 0.390 m³

Substitute into equation 2

P = 0.355(0.11)/0.39

P = 0.10013 atm.

If an object is rolling without slipping, how does its linear speed compare to its rotational speed? If an object is rolling wit
salantis [7]

Answer:

v = r\omega

Explanation:

If the object is rolling without slipping, every unit of rotated angle equals to a distance perimeter rotated.

Suppose the object complete 1 revolution within time t. The angular distance is 2π rad. Its angular velocity is 2π/t

The distance it covered is its circumference, which is 2πr, and so the speed is 2πr/t

So the linear speed compared to angular speed is

\frac{v}{\omega} = \frac{2\pi r/t}{2\pi /t} = r

v = r\omega

Verizon [17]
The correct answer among the choices is option D. Density is not one of the properties included in the ideal gas law. The law is expressed as: PV=nRT. As we can see, the pressure, the volume and the temperature of the gas are included in the law.
