For a certain optical medium the speed of light varies from a low value of 1.90 × 10 8 m/s for violet light to a high value of 2

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

a. The refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56

b. 18.7° for violet light and 19.5° for red light.

c. 33.7° for violet light and 35.3° for red light.

Explanation:

a. The refractive index of an object is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in the object.

Mathematically,

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

The speed of violet light in the object is $1.9 * 10^8 m/s$ .

The speed of red light in the object is $2 * 10^8 m/s$

Hence, the refractive index for violet light is:

$n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{1.9 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.56$

and for red light, it is:

$n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{2 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.5$

Hence, the refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56.

b. The refractive index is also the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction.

$n = \frac{sin(i)}{sin(r)}$

The angle of incidence is 30°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

$1.56 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.56} = \frac{0.5}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3205\\\\r = 18.7^o$

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

$1.5 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.5} = \frac{0.5}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3333\\\\r = 19.5^o$

The angle of refraction for red light is larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 30°.

c. The angle of incidence is 60°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

$1.56 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.56} = \frac{0.8660}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5551\\\\r = 33.7^o$

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

$1.5 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.5} = \frac{0.8660}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5773\\\\r = 35.3^o$

The angle of refraction for red light is still larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 60°.

The diagram does not represent a real electric field because the field lines__<br> NEED ANSWERS NOW

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

cross at many points

Explanation:

According to the diagram it does not shows the real electric field as the electric field does not intersect with each other but according to the given diagram many lines are intersected with each other

So the correct option is C as it would be crossed at many points

Hence, the same would be relevant
