A glass optical fiber is used to transport a light ray across a long distance. The fiber has an index of refraction of 1.540 and

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

73.13°

Explanation:

According to snell's law,

n1sinθi = n2sinθr

n1/n2 = sinθr/sinθi

Critical angle is the angle of incidence at the denser medium when the angle of incidence at the less dense medium is 90°

This means i=C and r = 90°

The Snell's law formula will become

n1/n2 = sinC/sin90°

n2/n1 = 1/sinC

Where n1 is the refractive index of the less dense medium = 1.473

n2 is the refractive index of the denser medium = 1.540

Substituting the values in the formula,

1.540/1.473 = 1/sinC

1.045 = 1/sinC

SinC = 1/1.045

SinC = 0.957

C = sin^-1(0.957)

C = 73.13°

A ray of light (f = 5.09 x 1014 Hz) is incident on the boundary between air and an unknown material X at an angle of incidence o

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

A) Material X is flint glass

B) Speed of light in the X material is 1.807 x $10^{8}$ m/s

C) Angle of refraction of light in medium X is $29.57^{o}$

Explanation:

Given data:

frequency of the light f = 5.09 x $10^{14}$ Hz

angle of incidence Θ $_{i}$ = $55^{o}$

index of refraction of material $n_{2}$ = 1.66

A) To find material X

Given the index of refraction is 1.66 and hence the material is the flint glass

B) To calculate the speed of light in the material.

We know that the relation between index of refraction (n), velocity of light (c = 3 x $10^{8}$ m/s) and velocity of light is given by the equation:

n = c/v

Hence,

Speed of light in the X material v = c/n

= $\frac{3 x 10^{8} }{1.66}$

= 1.807 x $10^{8}$ m/s

C) To calculate angle of refraction of light in medium X

We know that the Snell's law states that

$n_{1} sin$ Θ $_{i}$ = $n_{2} sin$ Θ $_{r}$

$n_{1}$ = incident index

$n_{2}$ = refracted index

Θ $_{i}$ = incident angle

Θ $_{r}$ = refracted angle

In given problem, $n_{1}$ = 1 since medium is air

Substituting the known values, we get

1 x $sin$ $55^{o}$ = 1.66 x $sin$ Θ $_{r}$

$sin$ Θ $_{r}$ = $sin$ $55^{o}$ /1.66

= 0.4935

Hence, angle of refraction of light in medium X Θ $_{r}$ = $sin^{-1}$ (0.4935)

= $29.57^{o}$

What is meant by a colored shadow? If "shadow" means

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Explanation:

Red, green, and blue are therefore called additive primaries of light. ... When you block two lights, you see a shadow of the third color—for example, block the red and green lights and you get a blue shadow. If you block only one of the lights, you get a shadow whose color is a mixture of the other two.

First, your definition of a shadow is incorrect. A shadow is an area that receives less light than its surroundings because a specific source of light is blocked by whatever is "casting" the shadow. Your example of being outside reveals this. The sky and everything around you in the environment (unless you are surrounded by pitch black buildings) is sending more than enough light into your shadow, to reveal the pen to your eyes. The sky itself diffuses the sunlight everywhere, and the clouds reflect plenty of light when they are not directly in front of the Sun.

If you are indoors and have two light bulbs, you can throw two shadows at the same time, possibly of different darknesses, depending on the brightness of the light bulbs.

It can take a lot of work to get a room pitch black. One little hole or crack in some heavy window curtains can be enough to illuminate the room. There are very few perfectly dark shadows.

Why does a block of plastic released under water come up to the surface of water.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

A block of plastic released under water will come up to the surface of the water because the density of the plastic is less than the density of water.

<h3>What is density?</h3>

Density is the amount of mass a substance contains per its unit volume. It means the number of particles that can be packed into a unit space of that substance.

<h3>How does density determine whether an object will float or sink?</h3>

When an object is immersed in a liquid, it experiences two forces - gravitational force and an upward buoyant force called upthrust. If the density of the object is more than the density of the liquid, gravitational force will be greater than upthrust and the object will sink, but if the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid, upthrust will be greater than gravitational force and the object will float. That is why a block of plastic will come up to the surface when released under water, because it is less dense than water.
