The Brewster angle is the angle can be found through this equation
θ=arctan(n2/n1).
This came from Snell's Law:
n1sinθ=n2sin(90-θ)
          =n2cosθ
n2/n1=tanθ --- θ=arctan(n2/n1)=arctan(1.434)=55.11 degrees

Next, the angle of refraction can be found by using Snell's Law
n1sinθ=n2sinθ'
sin(55.11)=1.434sinθ'
sinθ'=sin(55.11)/1.434=0.572 --- θ'=arcsin(0.572)=34.89 degrees

A monatomic gas is adiabatically compressed to 0.250 of its initial volume. Do each of the following quantities change?
Len [333]

Answer:

Given that

V2/V1= 0.25

And we know that in adiabatic process

TV^န-1= constant

So

T1/T2=( V1 /V2)^ န-1

So = ( 1/0.25)^ 0.66= 2.5

Also PV^န= constant

So P1/P2= (V2/V1)^န

= (1/0.25)^1.66 = 9.98

A. RMS speed is

Vrms= √ 3RT/M

But this is also

Vrms 2/Vrms1= (√T2/T1)

Vrms2=√2.5= 1.6vrms1

B.

Lambda=V/4π√2πr²N

So

Lambda 2/lambda 1= V2/V1 = 0.25

So the mean free path can be inferred to be 0.25 times the first mean free path

C. Using

Eth= 3/2KT

So Eth2/Eth1= T2/T1

So

Eth2= 2.5Eth1

D.

Using CV= 3/2R

Cvf= Cvi

So molar specific heat constant does not change

The ball and socket joint in the hip is similar to the ball and socket joint of the shoulder but is designed more for __________
Viktor [21]

Answer:

a. power

b. precision

Explanation:

The hip is a spherical joint that allows the upper leg to move from front to back and from side to side. The largest joint that supports weight in the body, the hip joint is surrounded by strong ligaments and muscles.

It differs mainly with the circular articulation of the shoulder since it allows it to perform movement of greater power and with greater precision
