Light traveling from water to a gemstone strikes the surface at an angle of 80.0º and has an angle of refraction of 15.2º . (a)
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

a

The the speed of light in the gemstone is  v= 0.599*10^8 m/s

b

The unreasonable thing about this is that the speed of ligth in the gemstone is too low

the speed is 19% of the speed of light  which is very low

c

One main unreasonable or inconsistent factor is that the assumption that the  differnce between the angle of incidence and angle of refraction is  very large

Explanation:

  From the question we are told that

       The  angle of incidence  i = 80^o

        The angle of refraction  r = 15.2^o

From Snell's law we have ,

      n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

    Where n_1 is the refractive index of the first medium (water) with a constant value  of  n_1 = 1..333

                n_2  is the refractive index of the second medium (gem stone)

                 \theta_1 is the angle between  the beam and perpendicular surface of the first medium

               \theta_2  is the angle  between the beam an the perpendicular surface of the second medium

      Making  the n_2 the subject of the formula

                       n_2 = n_1 \frac{sin \theta_1}{sin \theta_2}

                           = (1.333)(\frac{sin (80.0)}{sin  15.2} )

                           = 5.007

 Generally refractive index of a material  is mathematically represented

                      n = \frac{c}{v}

 Where c is the speed light

               v is the speed of light  observed in a medium

 Making v the subject

            v = \frac{c}{n}

 substituting value for gem stone

          v  =  \frac{3.0*10^8}{5.007}

              v= 0.599*10^8 m/s

A myopic (nearsighted) lawyer has a far point of 60.0 cm. What is the diopter value of suitable corrective contacts?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

P = -1.67 dP

Explanation:

given,

myopic lawyer has a far point of = 60.0 cm = 0.6 m

If a person is suffering from myopia then he cannot see the farthest object clearly.

Image of far object does not form on the retina so, the image appear to be blur.

using lens formula

      \dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u} = \dfrac{1}{f}

                -\dfrac{1}{0.6} = \dfrac{1}{f}

                     \dfrac{1}{f} =P

                              P = -\dfrac{1}{0.6}

                              P = -1.67 dP
