A glass optical fiber is used to transport a light ray across a long distance. The fiber has an index of refraction of 1.540 and

is submerged in glycerin, which has an index of refraction of 1.473. What is the critical angle (in degrees) for the light ray to remain inside the fiber

Answer:

73.13°

Explanation:

According to snell's law,

n1sinθi = n2sinθr

n1/n2 = sinθr/sinθi

Critical angle is the angle of incidence at the denser medium when the angle of incidence at the less dense medium is 90°

This means i=C and r = 90°

The Snell's law formula will become

n1/n2 = sinC/sin90°

n2/n1 = 1/sinC

Where n1 is the refractive index of the less dense medium = 1.473

n2 is the refractive index of the denser medium = 1.540

Substituting the values in the formula,

1.540/1.473 = 1/sinC

1.045 = 1/sinC

SinC = 1/1.045

SinC = 0.957

C = sin^-1(0.957)

C = 73.13°

Use the formula h = −16t2 + v0t. (if an answer does not exist, enter dne.) a ball is thrown straight upward at an initial speed
makkiz [27]
Using the given formula with v0=56 ft/s and h=40 ft 
h = -16t2 + v0t  
40 = -16t2 + 56t 
16t2 - 56t + 40 = 0  
Solving the quadratic equation:  
t= (-b+/-(b^2-4ac)^1/2)/2a = (56+/-((-56)^2-4*16*40)^1/2)/2*16 = (56 +/- 24) / 32 
 We have two possible solutions  
t1 = (56+24)/32 = 2.5 
t2 = (56-24)/32 = 1  
So initially the ball reach a height of 40 ft in 1 second.

Strong winds can destroy or prevent temperature inversion from forming. which city, des moines, iowa or denver, colorado is more
Paul [167]

Answer: DENVER, COLORADO

Explanation: Temperature inversion is the term used to describe the increase in temperature as the height increases towards the Toposphere, Temperature inversion is a reverse of the normal temperature flow or distribution in the atmosphere.

Denver, Colorado has been known to be one of the Cities of the World where temperature inversion occurs frequently. The TOPOGRAPHY of Denver, Colorado makes it prone to temperature inversion, Denver, Colorado is located at the foot of mountains.

What’s the equation that links with total input, efficiency, energy and useful output energy transfer
weqwewe [10]

Efficiency. The ratio of energy which was transferred to a useful form compared to the total energy initially supplied is called the efficiency of the device. Efficiencies can be written as decimals like 0.33 or percentages 33%. To convert a efficiency expressed as a decimal to a percentage you need to multiply by 100.
