"The drawing shows three layers of different materials, with air above and below the layers. The interfaces between the layers a

re parallel. The index of refraction of each layer is given in the drawing. Identical rays of light are sent into the layers, and light zigzags through each layer, reflecting from the top and bottom surfaces. The index of refraction for air is nair = 1.00. For each layer, the ray of light has an angle of incidence of 72.8˚. For the cases in which total internal refection is possible from either the top or bottom surface of a layer, determine the amount by which the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle."

Answer:

Angle of incidence that entered material b= 63.1°

Angle of incidence between a and b = 55.9°

Explanation: Using the formular:

n1sintheta1= n2sintheta2

The light ray which enters material B will be

1.4Sin72.8° = 1.5Sin theta

1.3373= 1.5Sintheta

sintheta = 1.3373/1.5

Sin^-1 0.8916 = Theta

63.1 = theta

When the ray hits interface with material a

1.5Sin63.1 = 1.3 Sin theta

1.3374 = 1.3Sin theta

Sintheta= 1.3374/1.3

Sin theta = 1.0877

There will be total reflection off the boundary b c because sin theta exceeded 1 in value.

The equation should be

1.4sin63.1 = 1.4 sin theta

Sin theta=72.8°

When the ray hits air-c boundary:

1.4sin72.8=1.00sin theta

Sin theta=1.3374/1 =1.3374

There is total reflection.

In material a,the ray will:

1.3sin72.8° = 1.00sin theta

There will be total reflection when the ray hits a-b boundary.

1.3sin72.8= 1.5sintheta

Sin theta= 1.2419/ 1.5

Sin theta =0.8279

Theta= Sin^-10.8279= 55.88°

When ray hits c-air boundary

1.4sin63.1= 1.00sintheta

1.2485= sin theta = Toal reflection.

Therefore when the ray of light pass through the layers of material a, b and c the boundary with air on top and bottom will be total reflection.

Given three different locations on Earth's surface, where will the weight of a person be greatest? in New York City, which is ab

zhenek [66]

Answer:

B. South Pole.

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we simply have to refer to the laws of the equations of gravitational mechanics.

The equation given by Newton tells us that

$F = \frac {Gm_1m_2} {r^2}$

In the case where we compare a specific place where the Force of Gravity is greater or lesser, we focus on the term assigned to the Planet's Radius.

In the case of $G, m_1, m_2$ , we understand that they are constant.

We can easily notice that the more the Radius (Height seen from a viewer on the ground), the lower the force will be.

<em>In other words, the smaller the radius in which the measurement is made with respect to the center of the earth, the greater the gravitational force.</em>

In that order of ideas the smallest radio has South Pole, which is about 6356 km from the center of the Earth on the Equator line

An object is 6.0 cm in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 10 cm.Use ray tracing to determine the location of the

Masja [62]

As we know that

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_0} = \frac{1}{f}$

here we know that

$d_0 = 6 cm$

$f = 10 cm$

now from above equation we have

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{10}$

$d_i = -15 cm$

so image will form on left side of lens at a distance of 15 cm

This image will be magnified and virtual image

A boy on a bicycle approaches a brick wall as he sounds his horn at a frequency 400 hz. the sound he hears reflected back from t

Mashutka [201]

As the question is about changing in frequency of a wave for an observer who is moving relative to the wave source, the concept that should come to our minds is "Doppler's effect."

Now the general formula of the Doppler's effect is:
$f = (\frac{g + v_{r}}{g + v_{s}})f_{o}$ -- (A)

Note: We do not need to worry about the signs, as everything is moving towards each other. If something/somebody were moving away, we would have the negative sign. However, in this problem it is not the issue.

Where,
g = Speed of sound = 340m/s.
$v_{r}$ = Velocity of the receiver/observer relative to the medium = ?.
$v_{s}$ = Velocity of the source with respect to medium = 0 m/s.
$f_{o}$ = Frequency emitted from source = 400 Hz.
$f$ = Observed frequency = 408Hz.

Plug-in the above values in the equation (A), you would get:

$408 = ( \frac{340 + v_{r}}{340 + 0})*400$

$\frac{408}{400} = \frac{340 + v_{r}}{340}$

Solving above would give you,
$v_{r}$ = 6.8 m/s

The correct answer = 6.8m/s

If no friction acts on a diver during a dive, then which of the following statements is true? A) The total mechanical energy of

EleoNora [17]

If no frictional work is considered, then the energy of the system (the driver at all positions is conserved.

Let
position 1 = initial height of the diver (h₁), together with the initial velocity (v₁).
position 2 = final height of the diver (h₂) and the final velocity (v₂).

The initial PE = mgh₁ and the initial KE = (1/2)mv₁²
where g = acceleration due to gravity,
m = mass of the diver.
Similarly, the final PE and KE are respectively mgh₂ and (1/2)mv₂².
PE in position 1 is converted into KE due to the loss in height from position 1 to position 2.

Therefore
(KE + PE) ₁ = (KE + PE)₂

Evaluate the given answers.
A) The total mechanical energy of the system increases.
FALSE

B) Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy but not vice versa.
TRUE

C) (KE + PE)beginning = (KE + PE) end.
TRUE

D) All of the above.
FALSE
