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°.

Tema [17]

Answer:

33.6\times10^{-4}}\text{ m} = 3.36 mm

Explanation:

From Ohm's law,

V = IR (Voltage = Current * Resistance)

R = \dfrac{V}{I}

The geometric definition of resistance is

R = \rho\dfrac{l}{A}

where \rho is the resistivity of the material, l  and A are the length and cross-sectional area, respectively.

A = \rho\dfrac{l}{R}

A = \rho\dfrac{l\timesI}{V}

Since the wire is assumed to have a circular cross-section, its area is given by

A = \pi\dfrac{d^2}{4} where d is the diameter.

\pi\dfrac{d^2}{4} = \rho\dfrac{l\timesI}{V}

d = \sqrt{\dfrac{4\rho l I}{\pi\times V}}

Resistivity of copper = 1.68\times10^{-8}. With these and other given values,

d = \sqrt{\dfrac{4\times1.68\times10^{-8}\times1.5\times290}{3.14\times 0.55}}

d = \sqrt{1128.43\times10^{-8}}

d = 33.6\times10^{-4} \text{ m}

Burka [1]

Explanation:

Let acceleration due to Gravity for a planet is given by:

g_X=GM/R^2

Here,g_X = 2g

Escape velocity is given by:

v =\sqrt{ \frac{2GM} {R}} = \sqrt{2aR}

Here, R=R_earth/2

and g_X = 2g

Therefore,v=\sqrt(2(2g)(R/2))=v_0

plsssssss i need help Which source of law is most like common law: statutes, case law, or administrative law? Explain
Lisa [10]

Answer:

The answer is "case law".

Explanation:

This law is not based on law, but on legislatures, statutes, or legislation, on judgments. Its also used as a different term with common law, which is the collection of precedents as well as power on a specific subject established in previous judicial decisions that are a part of Common law, which is also recognized as case law to establish by the court system based on legal case law.

How do sea surface temperatures affect evaporation rate?
kotegsom [21]
<span>Answer: The temperature doesn't affect the evaporation rate, but affects on how much of water a parcel of air can contain when saturated which is known by the absolute humidity. Hurricanes are usually happening when the temperature of the sea water west of the Cape Verde islands is over 27 degrees Celsius. If ahead of the path of a hurricane, the sea water temperature drops then it will be less moisture in the air and perhaps the hurricane will fade out. But it is not as simple. How strong a tropical storm is is relative to the difference of temperture between ground level and the top of the troposphere. The greater the difference, the faster the air will rise and the deeper the pressure will be, forcing surrounding air to rush in, thus forming a hurricane force wind. Then there is the fact that the wet adiabatic lapse rate is about half that of dry air. It means that rising moist air cools down slower and therefore rises higher. Hence water is the true fuel of bad weather. But it can't be isolated from the fact that the difference of temperature must be great too. What we often forget is that the tropopause (the border to the stratosphere) is much higher over the equator and therefore, much colder than e.g. the poles.</span>
