An incident light ray strikes water at an angle of 20 degrees. The index of refraction of air is 1.0003, and the index of refrac

tion of water is 1.33. The angle of refraction rounded to the nearest whole number is °.

In order to find the angle of the refracted ray, we may use the Snell's law (also known as Snell–Descartes law and the law of refraction). This law states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is constant for a given wave when it passes through two different media such as water, glass, or air.
 In mathematical form, this is:

n₁sin(∅₁) = n₂sin(∅₂)
Where:n is the refractive index.

Plugging in the values given into the equation:
1.0003 * sin(20°) = 1.33 * sin(∅)
∅ = 14.91
The angle of refraction is 15°.

Which projectiles will be visibly affected by air resistance when they fall?
NemiM [27]
Any object that is launched as a projectile will lose speed and, as a result, altitude, as it travels through the air. The rate at which the object loses speed and altitude depends on the amount of force that way applied to it when it was launched. It is also dependent on the size and shape of the item. This is why something like, say, a football is much faster to fall to the ground than a bullet.

An ion in a mass spectrometer follows a semicircular path of radius 14.8. What is the distance it travels?
aleksklad [387]

The circumference of a circle is (2π · the circle's radius).

The length of a semi-circle is  (1π · the circle's radius) =

                                                 (π · 14.8) = 46.5 (rounded)

(The unit is the same as whatever the unit of the  14.8  is.)
