A light ray travels inside a horizontal plate of glass, striking its upper surface at an angle of incidence of 50°. This ray is

totally internally reflected at the glass-air boundary. A liquid is then poured on top of the glass.
What is the largest index of refraction that the liquid could have such that the ray is still totally internally reflected? The index of refraction of glass is 1.50.

Answer:

n₂ = 1.15

Explanation:

Given,

Angle of incidence,θ₁ = 50°

refractive index of the glass,n₁ = 1.50

refractive index of liquid = ?

For largest refractive index angle of refraction should be equal to 90°.

Using Snell's law

n₁ sin θ₁ =  n₂ sin θ₂

1.50 x sin 50° =  n₂ sin 90°

n₂ = 1.15

Hence, refractive index of the liquid is equal to 1.15.

Pls help my science teacher is a horrible teacher...
Anettt [7]

First of all, looks like your teacher is indeed pretty horrible. Secondly, the constraints to consider would be proper weight distribution, methods to minimize excessive motion of the building structure, and quantities such as volume and density, which would help in determining the optimal structure. Keeping the frequency of oscillation for a building low in case of an earthquake or natural disaster would also be a priority.

An object with kinetic energy k explodes into two pieces, each of which moves with twice the speed of the original object.
zlopas [31]
<span>Assuming that the momenta of the two pieces are equal: when they have equal velocities, then the masses of the two pieces are also equal. Since there is no force from outside of the system, the center of mass moves on with the same velocity as before the equation. So the two pieces must fly at the side side of the mass center, i.e., they must always be at 90° to the side of the mass center. Otherwise it would not be the mass center, respectively the pieces would not have equal velocities. This is only possible, when the angle of their velocity with the initial direction is 60°. Because, cos (60°) = 1/2 = v/(2v).</span>

Convert planks constant in cgs system
dezoksy [38]

in cgs system, plank's constant= h=6.626 x10⁻²⁶ erg s

Value of Plank's constant in SI system= 6.626 x10⁻³⁴ Js

now 1 Joule= 10⁷ ergs

so h= 6.626 x10⁻³⁴ Js (10⁷ ergs/1J)

h=6.626 x10⁻²⁷ erg s
