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° .

On Planet Y, which has no air, a dropped object falls 9 m in 3 seconds. What is g, the acceleration due to gravity, on that plan
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a = 2 m/s^2

which agrees with the third answer option provided.

Explanation:

Recall the kinematic formula for displacement under the action of a constant acceleration "a":

yf - yi = 1/2 a  t^2

using the information provided this equation becomes:

9 = 1/2 a (3)^2

solve for a:

9 * 2 / 9 = a

then a = 2 m/s^2

which agrees with the third answer option provided.

Does the sun always shine directly overhead at the equator at noon
Nikitich [7]
The sun always shines directly overhead at noon. This is because the equator always gets the equivalent amount of sunlight. The area always get 12 hours of sunlight, because it's 0 degrees north and south and it's at the center of the Earth.
