Answer:

1.3.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Sine of incident angle (Sine i) = 0.217

Sine of refracted angle (Sine r) = 0.173

Refractive index (n) =?

From snell's law, the Refractive index is simply defined as the ratio of the sine of the incident angle to sine of the refracted angle. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Refractive index = Sine of incident angle / sine of refracted angle

n = Sine i / Sine r

With the above formula, we can obtain index of refraction as shown below:

Sine of incident angle (Sine i) = 0.217

Sine of refracted angle (Sine r) = 0.173

Refractive index (n) =?

n = Sine i / Sine r

n = 0.217 / 0.173

n = 1.3

Thus, the index of refraction is 1.3.

Could a person at the south pole see the north star, explain??

9966 [12]

Answer:

If conditions are just right, you can see Polaris from just south of the equator. Although Polaris is also known as the North Star, it doesn't lie precisely above Earth's North Pole. If it did, Polaris would have a declination of exactly 90 degree.

Answer:

the bending moment will be W from either sides

Explanation:

bending moment= force (load) * perpendicular distance, if I understand the question the distance will be 1/2 of the length

=> f x 1/2(l) =W*1/2(2) =W

A rod of length Lo moves iwth a speed v along the horizontal direction. The rod makes an angle of (θ)0 with respect to the x' ax

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

From the question we are told that

The length of the rod is $L_o$

The speed is v

The angle made by the rod is $\theta$

Generally the x-component of the rod's length is

$L_x = L_o cos (\theta )$

Generally the length of the rod along the x-axis as seen by the observer, is mathematically defined by the theory of relativity as

$L_xo = L_x \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

=> $L_xo = [L_o cos (\theta )] \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

Generally the y-component of the rods length is mathematically represented as

$L_y = L_o sin (\theta)$

Generally the length of the rod along the y-axis as seen by the observer, is also equivalent to the actual length of the rod along the y-axis i.e $L_y$

Generally the resultant length of the rod as seen by the observer is mathematically represented as

$L_r = \sqrt{ L_{xo} ^2 + L_y^2}$

=> $L_r = \sqrt{[ (L_o cos(\theta) [\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }\ \ ]^2+ L_o sin(\theta )^2)}$

=> $L_r= \sqrt{ (L_o cos(\theta)^2 * [ \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } ]^2 + (L_o sin(\theta))^2}$

=> $L_r = \sqrt{(L_o cos(\theta) ^2 [1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} ] +(L_o sin(\theta))^2}$

=> $L_r = \sqrt{L_o^2 * cos^2(\theta) [1 - \frac{v^2 }{c^2} ]+ L_o^2 * sin(\theta)^2}$

=> $L_r = \sqrt{ [cos^2\theta +sin^2\theta ]- \frac{v^2 }{c^2}cos^2 \theta }$

=> $L_o \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } cos^2(\theta ) }$

Hence the length of the rod as measured by a stationary observer is

$L_r = L_o \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } cos^2(\theta ) }$

Generally the angle made is mathematically represented

$tan(\theta) = \frac{L_y}{L_x}$

=> $tan {\theta } = \frac{L_o sin(\theta )}{ (L_o cos(\theta ))\sqrt{ 1 -\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$

=> $tan(\theta ) = \frac{tan\theta}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$
