Three flat layers of transparent material are stacked upon one another. The top layer has index of refraction n1, the middle has

n2 and the bottom one has n3. If n1 > n2 > n3, and if a ray of light strikes the top layer at an angle of incidence, in which layer is the angle of refraction the greatest? Why?
a. the bottom layer
b. the top layer
c. Once the ray enters the touching layers, the angle of refraction remains constant.
d. the middle layer

Two conducting spheres are each given a charge Q. The radius of the larger sphere is three times greater than that of the smalle
padilas [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

If E₀ is the electric field outside the smaller sphere and r is the radius of larger sphere.

E₀ = kQ/r²

The radius of the larger sphere is 3r and the charge on both sphere is same then the electric field outside the larger sphere is given as

E = kQ/(3r)² = kQ/9r² = 1/9 (kQ/r²)= 1/9 x E₀

hence the correct option is e.

Answer:

5. dispersion

6. 49.8°

Explanation:

5. Dispersion is the name given to the phenomenon of light of different wavelengths being bent differently. A rainbow is the result of light from a point source (the sun) being spread out by wavelength (color), a nice example of dispersion.

___

6. n = 1.31 is the ratio of the sine of the angle of refraction to the sine of the angle of incidence (for light passing to a medium of n = 1). When the angle of refraction is 90°, the angle of incidence is the "critical angle." So, ...

sin(90°)/sin(critical) = 1.31

critical angle = arcsin(1/1.31) ≈ 49.8°
