You can determine the index of refraction of a substance by determining its critical angle. (a) What is the index of refraction

of a substance that has a critical angle of 47.3° when submerged in ethanol, which has an index of refraction of 1.361? (b) What would the critical angle be for this substance in air?

Answer:

a )1.851

b ) 32.68°

Explanation:

The relation between critical angle and index of refraction is as follows

Sin C = 1 / μ

C is critical angle and μ is refractive index.

Given C = 47.3

Sin 47.3 = 1 / μ

0.735 = 1 / μ

μ = 1 / .735

= 1.36

This is with respect to ethanol .

1.36 = refractive index of material /  refractive index of ethanol

refractive index of material = 1.36 x refractive index of ethanol

= 1.36 x 1.361 = 1.851

If critical angle for this substance be A

Sin A = 1 / 1.851 = .54

A = 32.68° .

Someone plz answrr why is motion important in our lives​
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

lives, forces and motion make things move and stay still. Pushing and pulling are examples of forces that can sped things up or slow things down. There are two types of forces, at a distance force and contact forces..

A 0.6 kg block attached to a spring of force constant 13.6 N/m oscillates with an amplitude of 9 cm. Find the maximum speed of t
mash [69]

Answer:

1) 0.43 meters per second

2) 0.21 meters per second

3) 1.02 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

4) 0.66 seconds

Explanation:

part 1

By conservation of energy, the maximum kinetic energy (K) of the block is at equilibrium point where the potential energy is zero. So, at the equilibrium kinetic energy is equal to maximum potential energy (U):

K=U

\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kx_{max}^2}{2}

With m the mass, v the speed, k the spring constant and xmax the maximum position respect equilibrium position. Solving for v

v=\sqrt{\frac{kx_{max}^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{(13.6)(0.09m)^2}{0.6}}=0.43\frac{m}{s}

part 2

Again by conservation of energy we have kinetic energy equal potential energy:

\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kx_{max}^2}{2}=

v=\sqrt{\frac{kx_{max}^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{(13.6)(0.045m)^2}{0.6}}=0.21\frac{m}{s}

part 3

Acceleration can be find using Newton's second law:

F=ma

with F the force, m the mass and a the acceleration, but elastic force is -kx, so:

-kx=ma

a= -\frac{kx}{m}=-\frac{(13.6)(0.045)}{0.6}=-1.02\frac{m}{s^{2}}

part 4

The period of an oscillator is the time it takes going from one extreme to the other one, that is going form 4.5 cm to -4.5 cm respect the equilibrium position. That period is:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.6}{13.6}}=1.32s

So between 0 and 4.5 cm we have half a period:

t=\frac{T}{2}=0.66s

When you look at a transverse wave, the distance from the baseline to the crest of the wave is called the wave's
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Amplitude

Explanation:

Amplitude is the vertical distance between the baseline to the crest or the horizontal diatance between crest and trough of a wave. Trough is the lowest point of the wave hence called the baseline while crest is the highest point of a wave. The horizontal distance between two successive waves is however called the wavelength and the product of wavelength and frequency gives the velocity of the waves. Note that amplitude has no effect on the velocity of the waves.
