Answer:

42 degrees, virtual image, same size as the object (26 cm)

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that:

- When a ray of light is incident on a flat surface (such as the plane mirror), the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

So, since in this case the angle of incidence is 42 degrees, the angle of reflection is also 42 degrees.

Moreover, the image formed by a plane mirror is always:

- Virtual (on the same side as the object)

- The same size as the object

So in this case, since the object's size is 26 cm, the image's size is also 26 cm.

diamong [38]

Answer:

 2n t = m λ₀ ,    R = 0.240 mm

Explanation:

The interference by regency in thin films uses two rays mainly the one reflected on the surface and the one reflected on the inside of the film.

The ray that is reflected in the upper part of the film has a phase change of 180º since the ray stops from a medium with a low refractive index to one with a higher regrading index,

-This phase change is the introduction of a λ/2 change

-The ray passing through the film has a change in wavelength due to the refractive index of the medium

          λ₀ = λ / n

Therefore Taking into account this fact the destructive interference expression introduces an integer phase change, then the extra distance 2t is

        2 t = (m’+ ½ + ½) λ₀ / n

        2t = (m’+1) λ₀ / n

         m = m’+ 1

        2n t = m λ₀

        With   m = 0, 1, 2, ...

Where t is the thickness of the film, n the refractive index of the medium, λ the wavelength

The thickness of a hair is the thickness of the film t

           2R = t

             R = t / 2

             R = 0480/2

              R = 0.240 mm

"if a stream flow measures 12 meters in 60 seconds, what is the stream's average rate of flow?"
Vlad [161]
<span>Discharge is the volume of water moving down a stream or river per unit of time, commonly expressed in cubic feet per second or gallons per day. In general, river discharge is computed by multiplying the area of water in a channel cross section by the average velocity of the water in that cross section: discharge = area * velocity. In this case, the answer is 0.2 m/s.</span>

Sunlight strikes a piece of crown glass at an angle of incidence of 38.0°. Calculate the difference in the angle of refraction b
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Difference in the angle of refraction = 0.3°

41.04° is the minimum angle of incidence.

Explanation:

Angle of incidence  = 38.0°

For yellow light :

Using Snell's law as:

\frac {sin\theta_2}{sin\theta_1}=\frac {n_1}{n_2}

Where,  

Θ₁ is the angle of incidence

Θ₂ is the angle of refraction

n₁ is the refractive index for yellow light which is 1.523

n₂ is the refractive index of air which is 1

So,  

\frac {sin\theta_2}{sin{38.0}^0}=\frac {1.523}{1}

{sin\theta_2}=0.9377

Angle of refraction for yellow light = sin⁻¹ 0.9377 = 69.67°.

For green light :

Using Snell's law as:

\frac {sin\theta_2}{sin\theta_1}=\frac {n_1}{n_2}

Where,  

Θ₁ is the angle of incidence

Θ₂ is the angle of refraction

n₁ is the refractive index for green light which is 1.526

n₂ is the refractive index of air which is 1

So,  

\frac {sin\theta_2}{sin{38.0}^0}=\frac {1.526}{1}

{sin\theta_2}=0.9395

Angle of refraction for green light = sin⁻¹ 0.9395 = 69.97°.

The difference in the angle of refraction = 69.97° - 69.67° = 0.3°

Calculation of the critical angle for the yellow light for the total internal reflection to occur :

The formula for the critical angle is:

{sin\theta_{critical}}=\frac {n_r}{n_i}

Where,  

{\theta_{critical}} is the critical angle

n_r is the refractive index of the refractive medium.

n_i is the refractive index of the incident medium.

n₁ is the refractive index for yellow light which is 1.523 (incident medium)  

n₂ is the refractive index of air which is 1 (refractive medium)

Applying in the formula as:

{sin\theta_{critical}}=\frac {1}{1.523}

The critical angle is = sin⁻¹ 0.6566 = 41.04°

After an incandescent lamp is turned on, the temperature of its filament rapidly increases from room temperature to its operatin
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: (1) The resistance increases and the current decreases.

Explanation:  

When the temperature of the filament increases, the vibrational energy of the constituent atoms increases which leads to increase in inter-atomic collision. Thus, the resistance would increase. The increases in resistance would obstruct the flow of charges more leading to decrease in the value of the current.

Hence, when the temperature of the filament increase, the resistance increases and current decreases.
