If the velocity of an object is zero, then that object cannot be accelerating.

A beam of light traveling through a liquid (of index of refraction n1 = 1.47) is incident on a surface at an angle of θ1 = 59° w

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

(a) $n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}$

(b) $n_{2} = 1.349$

(c) $v_{1} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

(d) $v_{2} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Solution:

As per the question:

Refractive index of medium 1, $n_{1} = 1.47$

Angle of refraction for medium 1, $\theta_{1} = 59^{\circ}$

Angle of refraction for medium 2, $\theta_{1} = 69^{\circ}$

Now,

(a) The expression for the refractive index of medium 2 is given by using Snell's law:

$n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}$

where

$n_{2}$ = Refractive Index of medium 2

Now,

$n_{2} = \frac{n_{1}sin\theta_{1}}{sin\theta_{2}}$

(b) The refractive index of medium 2 can be calculated by using the expression in part (a) as:

$n_{2} = \frac{1.47\times sin59^{\circ}}{sin69^{\circ}}$

$n_{2} = 1.349$

(c) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 1:

We know that:

$Refractive\ index,\ n = \frac{Speed\ of\ light\ in vacuum,\ c}{Speed\ of\ light\ in\ medium,\ v}$

Thus for medium 1

$n_{1} = \frac{c}{v_{1}$

$v_{1} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.47} = 2.04\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

(d) To calculate the velocity of light in medium 2:

For medium 2:

$n_{2} = \frac{c}{v_{2}$

$v_{2} = \frac{c}{n_{1} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.349} = 2.22\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

The latin word (Cirro) mean that the clouds are in high level <br><br> True of false?

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Latin word "Cirro" means "curly" or "curl of hair" as in a cirrocumulus cloud. Cirrocumulus clouds are wispy clouds, and while they do appear high in the sky, the word "cirro" does not mean high in level.

Therefore, the answer is False.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡

Bullets spin when shot from a rifle or handgun. What causes this spinning?

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder. Gas converted from the burning powder rapidly expands in the cartridge. The expanding gas forces the bullet out of the cartridge and down the barrel with great speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin as it travels out of the barrel.
