A ray moving in plastic at 62.9 deg enters water, where it bends to 70.9 deg. What is the index of refraction of the plastic?

refractive index of plastic is 1.42

Explanation:

When light ray enters from one medium to other medium then due to transition of light it bends away or towards the normal, this phenomenon is known as refraction of light

So here we know that

here we have

now we have

the bal will not change its velocity.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
