You shine a flashlight on a pond. the light hits the pond at an angle of 70° to the normal of the pond. what is angle between the refracted ray entering the pond and the surface normal of the pond? the index of refraction of water is 4/3 select one of the following: (a) 86.99 (b) 23.4° (c) 35 (d) 44.8 (e) toby

(d)  44.8°

Explanation:

For refraction,  

Using Snell's law as:

Where,  

Θ₁ is the angle of incidence  

Θ₂ is the angle of refraction

n₁ is the refractive index of air which is 1

n₂ is the refractive index of water which is 4/3

Given that angle of incidence = 70°

So,  

Angle of refraction = sin⁻¹ 0.7048 = 44.8°.

the motion of a pendulum is a classic example of mechanical energy conservation. a pendulum consists of a mass (known as a bob ) attached by a string to a pivot point. as the pendulum moves it sweeps out a circular arc, moving back and forth in a periodic fashion.

the duration of a photographic flash is related to an rc time constant, which is 0.100 μs for a certain camera.
