Complete question is;
In searching the bottom of a pool at night, a watchman shines a narrow beam of light from his flashlight 125 cm above the water level to a point 185 cm from his foot at the edge of the pool. Where does the spot of light hit the bottom of the pool, relative to the edge, if the pool is 215 cm deep
Answer:
356.2 cm
Explanation:
First of all, let's find the angle of incidence from the distances
;
tan θ1 = l1/h1
tan θ1 = 185/125
tan θ1 = 1.48
θ1 = tan^(-1) 1.48
θ1 = 55.95°
For the refraction from air into water, we have
n_air × sin θ1 = n_water × sin θ2,
sin θ2 = (n_air × sin θ1)/n_water
Where,
n_water is refractive index of water = 1.33
n_air is refractive index of air = 1
Thus;
sin θ2 = (1 × sin 55.95)/1.33
sin θ2 = 0.62297
θ2 = sin^(-1) 0.62297
θ2 = 38.53°
So, the horizontal distance from the edge of the pool from
l is;
l = l1 + l2 = l1 + h2 tan θ2
where;
l1 = 185cm
h2 = 215 cm
So,
l = 185 + 215(tan 38.53)
l = 185 + 171.2045
l = 356.2045 cm ≈ 356.2 cm
It's also known as a stationary wave.
Is this a true and false question?
Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Resources which are created by human beings are known as man-made resources.
For example, glass, rayon, nylon etc are all man-made resources.
Whereas resources which are naturally created are known as natural resources.
For example, wind, air, water etc are all natural resources.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options time is not a natural resource.
Answer: Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion.
