A ray diagram for a refracted light ray is shown.

Rina8888 [55]

The dashed line represents the<u> normal </u>to the boundary

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon that occurs when a ray of light crosses the interface between two mediums.

When this occurs, the ray of light changes direction and speed.

The new direction of the ray of light is given by Snell's law:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

$n_1$ is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

$n_2$ is the index of refraction of thre 2nd medium

$\theta_1$ is the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the direction of the incident ray and the normal to the boundary

$\theta_2$ is the angle of refraction, which is the angle between the direction of the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary

The index of refraction of a medium is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum (c) and the speed of light in that medium (v):

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

The figure in the question is missing, however you can find it in attachment.

We see that the dashed line is perpendicualr to the boundary between the two mediums, so it represents the normal.

So, the correct answer is

Normal

We note that in this case the ray of light bends towards the normal, this means that $\theta_2$ , therefore the second medium has a larger index of refraction ( $n_2>n_1$ ).

1. Why is the theory that all things are made up of atoms a theory and not a fact?

steposvetlana [31]

Because there is no record of all things. As we have partially unknow information, it can never be held as a fact.

3. The electric field of a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave has an amplitude of 5.0 V/m. How much radiation energy passes through

True [87]

Answer:

e) $179$ J

Explanation:

$E_{o}$ = Magnitude of electric field = 5 V/m

$A$ = Area of window = 1.5 m²

$c$ = speed of electromagnetic wave = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

$\Delta t$ = time interval = 1 h = 3600 sec

radiation energy is given as

$U = (0.5)\epsilon _{o}E_{o}^{2}cA\Delta t$

$U = (0.5)(8.85\times 10^{-12})(5)^{2}(3\times 10^{8})(1.5)(3600)$

$U = 179$ J

A_______covalent bond is when atoms of two different elements form a covalent bond.

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Explanation: Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outermost (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.

The Earth's Radius is 6.3710x106 m and mass is 5.9742x1024 kg. What is the acceleration due to gravity at Mount Everest (elevati

Shalnov [3]

Answer is

9.773m/s^2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given,

h=8848m

The value of sea level is 9.08m/s^2. So, Let g′ be the acceleration due to the gravity on Mount Everest.

g′=g(1 − 2h/h)

=9.8(1 - 6400000/17696)

=9.8(1 − 0.00276)

9.8×0.99724

=9.773m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on the top of Mount Everest is =9.773m/s^2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

hope this helps :)
