The compass doesn’t give you the value of the net magnetic field, just the direction. So, how do you get the magnitude of a particular field from this? The trick is to assume the value of the Earth’s magnetic field and the direction of the compass. Let’s assume that at this location on the Earth, the magnetic field is pointing directly North with a horizontal component of about 2 x 10-5 T.
Now suppose that I do something to create a magnetic field in a known direction and perpendicular to the horizontal component of the Earth’s magnetic field. Here is an example where I put a current carrying wire right over the compass needle. Since the compass is underneath the wire, the magnetic field due to the wire will be 90° to the Earth’s magnetic field.
Answer:
Explanation:
This problem indicates that the speed of light in a material medium is 0.5 10⁸ m / s, they ask to find the critical angle between the material and the vacuum
Let's find the refractive index of the material
n = c / v
n = 3 10⁸ / 0.5 10⁸
n = 6
When the material passes from one medium to another, it must comply with the law of refraction
n₁ sin θ = n₂ sin θ₂
for the angle criticize the angles tea2 = 90
tea = sin⁻¹n₂/ n₁
The vacuum replacement index is n₂ = 1
tea = sin⁻¹ (1/6)
tea = 9.59º
Answer:
i = 61 degree
Explanation:
Given,

Now, by the snell's law

Now,
Sin i / sin r = n 2 / n 1
sin i / sin r (45 - 24.09) = 2.45 / 1
i = 60.97 degree
