Please help me. What is aim of Refractive index of water? State the keyword. Introduction of Refractive index of water? (must include define the refraction index, what is the Snell's Law?, and what is the SI unit of the refractive index?)
please answer these in a detailed way. which i can understand.[1] does light travel faster or slower in water than in air? why is this?[2] write down the three effects of refraction. [3] what is energy? how many types of energy are there?[4] what is the difference between concave and convex lens?[5] write down three ways of refraction.[6] name the colors in the spectrum of the white light.again: please detail these a bit, not fully, but please detail them in a way i can understand, thank you very much.
please provide answers respectively as what the answer boxes ask so I could easily configure what to put in the boxes. There are a total of 13 boxes, I expect 13 boxes to be highlighted. May the answer be in good penmanship or typewritten so I could understand it better, thank you!
Define refraction index? What its depending parameters? Value for air and water ?
Define refraction index?what is depending parameters?value for air and water?
Please help and show all your work. I want to use this to study. Tge perfectly flat piece of glass (n=1.50) is placed over a perfectly flat piece of plastic (n=1.20). They touch at A and there is a film (wedge) of air between the glass and plastic. Light of wavelength 600nm in air is incident normally from above. The location of the dark fringes in the reflected light is shown below. Index of refraction of air is 1. a) how thick is the air film between the glass and plastic at B? Units of nm b) water (n=1.33) then seeps into the region between the glass and plastic filling the wedge with water. How many dark fringes are seen when all the air is displaced by water?
Consider the previous set-up in figure 1. Answer the Figure 2, Considering a ray of light strikes material (a) at 30 degrees from the normal. What is the refracted angle from air to material? If this refracted ray strike the material (b) glass what is the refracted angle and the angle of incidence?
Given the data below, calculate the distance between side orders, Δy_1 (cm) and distance between side orders, y_1 (cm) if m=1 and slit width (cm) is equal to: 0.02, 0.04, 0.08, 0.16. Explain/show how calculations were made.***If the information I have provided is incomplete, please reply with the additional information needed so I can fix it.
Let v be the wave's speed, λ its wavelength, and f its frequency. These quantities are related via the equation v=λf. Note that, if the wave speed decreases, the wavelength must also decrease for the frequency to remain constant. What is the wavelength λ of light in glass, if its wavelength in air is λ0, its speed in air is c, and its speed in the glass is v? Express your answer in terms of λ0, c, and v. If light strikes the air/glass interface at an angle 32.0 degrees to the normal, what is the angle of reflection, θr?
in step 1 why is the image distance -4 cm?
