The environmental changes can will negatively affect different organisms differently, for example some organisms might die due to failure of the organisms to adapt to the new changes. Some organisms will be forced to migrate in order to counter these changes, this may lead to this organisms leaving their old living routine and adapt to the new methods of living, this may lead to evolution caused by new environment.

A spotlight on a boat is y = 2.2 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is x = 8.5 m horizontally di

slava [35]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The distance d, which locates the point where the light strikes the bottom is 29.345 m from the spotlight.

Explanation:

To solve the question we note that Snell's law states that

The product of the incident index and the sine of the angle of incident is equal to the product of the refractive index and the sine of the angle of refraction

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂

y = 2.2 m and strikes at x = 8.5 m, therefore tanθ₁ = 2.2/8.5 = 0.259 and

θ₁ = 14.511 °

n₁ = 1.0003 = refractive index of air

n₂ = 1.33 = refractive index of water

Therefore sinθ₂ = $\frac{n_1sin\theta_1}{n_2}$ = $\frac{1.003*0.251}{1.33}$ = 0.1885 and θ₂ = 10.86 °
