You are designing a new piece of fishing equipment that will allow you to catch a fish from the surface. You know that water ref

racts light, but in order to properly program your device, you need to know by what angle water refracts light. Describe an experiment you would conduct to determine the angle at which water refracts light.
Please help! I’ll really appreciate it! :(

Answer:

Law of refraction

Explanation:

An experiment to analyze the refraction of light in water can easily be performed with a laser pointer and protractor.

We throw the fishing rod line into the water, place the protractor at the point where the line touches the water and use the direction of the line for the direction of the laser pointer (on), the laser is visible by the reflection on the particles in the air.

The vertical line is called Normal and all angles must be measured with respect to this reference in optics.

Having these angles and the refractive index of water we can use the law of refraction

         n₁ sin θ₁  = n₂ sin θ₂

         θ₂ = sin^{-1} ( \frac{n_1}{n_2} \ sin \ \theta_1 )

we can repeat several times to analyze several different input points (different angles) and to decrease the errors in the measurements.

the refractive index of air is n1 = 1 and n2= 1.33  (water)

Although he did not present a mechanism, what were the key points of Alfred Wegener’s proposal for the concept of continental dr
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: Alfred Wegener provided some of the important points that supported the theory of continental drift. They are as follows-

  1. The continents were once all attached together, and this can be proved by studying the coastlines of some of the continents that perfectly matches with one another.
  2. The appearance of similar rock types and similar fossils (including both animals and plants) has also contributed much information that continents were once all together.

niobium metal becomes a superconductor when cooled below 9 k. its superconductivity is destroyed when the surface magnetic field
Furkat [3]

Niobium wire with a 2.60 mm diameter has a maximum current capacity of 500 A while still remaining superconducting.

<h3>Describe the present.</h3>

Current is the rate at which charge passes from one point on a circuit to another. In a circuit, a significant current flows when several coulombs or charge pass over the cross section of a wire. When the charge carriers are firmly packed inside the wire, high currents can be generated at low speeds.

<h3>What do current and electron actually mean?</h3>

Electron movement is referred to as electron current. The positive terminal receives electrons that are released by the negative terminal. Traditional current, usually referred to as just current, exhibits behavior consistent with positive charge carriers being the source of current flow. Regular current is received at the positive end and then flows to a negative terminal.

A plastic rod that has been charged to − 15 nC touches a metal sphere. Afterward, the rod's charge is − 5.0 nC.
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.

(2) 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred

Explanation:

Given;

initial charge on the plastic rod, q₁ = 15nC

final charge on the plastic rod, q₂ = - 5nC

let the charge acquired by the plastic rod = q

q + 15nC = -5nC

q = -5nC - 15nC

q = -20 nC

Thus, the plastic rod acquired excess negative charge from the metal sphere.

Hence, electrons transferred from sphere to rod

B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.

2) How many charged particles were transferred?

1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C = 1 electron

20 x 10⁻⁹ C = ?

= 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons

Thus,1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred
