Answer:

<em>Amplitude= 8 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>The Amplitude of a Wave</u>

Sinusoidal Function  refers to a mathematical curve with a smooth and periodic oscillation. Its name comes from the sine function and is characterized by the amplitude or the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body measured from its equilibrium position.

To calculate the amplitude from a graph, we measure the maximum point and the minimum point the wave reaches. Then we subtract both values and divide the result by 2.

The shown wave in the figure has a maximum value of 8 m and a minimum value of -8 m. The distance from the maximum to the minimum is 8-(-8)= 16 m, thus the amplitude is 16/2= 8m.

Amplitude= 8 m

A spotlight on a boat is y = 2.2 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is x = 8.5 m horizontally di
slava [35]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The distance d, which locates the point where the light strikes the bottom is   29.345 m from the spotlight.

Explanation:

To solve the question we note that Snell's law states that

The product of the incident index and the sine of the angle of incident is equal to the product of the refractive index and the sine of the angle of refraction

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂

y = 2.2 m and strikes at x = 8.5 m, therefore tanθ₁ = 2.2/8.5 = 0.259 and

θ₁ =  14.511 °

n₁ = 1.0003 = refractive index of air

n₂ = 1.33 = refractive index of water

Therefore sinθ₂ =  \frac{n_1sin\theta_1}{n_2}  = \frac{1.003*0.251}{1.33} = 0.1885 and θ₂ = 10.86 °

Since the water depth is 4.0 m we have tanθ₂ = \frac{4}{x_2} or x₂ = \frac{4}{tan\theta_2 } =\frac{4}{tan(10.86)} = 20.845 m

d = x₂ + 8.5 = 20.845 m + 8.5 m = 29.345 m.
