A light ray incident on a block of glass makes an incident angle of 50.0° with the normal to the surface. The refracted ray in the block makes an 36.1° with the normal. What is the index of refraction of the glass?

Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer. provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with supporting calculations) by considering a room whose air temperature is maintained at 20â°c throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 27â°c and 14â°c in the summer and winter, respectively. the exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32â°c throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. the coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 w/m2 â‹…â‹… k. what is the ratio of the thermal resistance due to convection to the thermal resistance due to radiation in the summer? what is the ratio of thermal resistances in the winter

You've already seen the value of 9.8 in this lesson. what's this value called? what quantity does it represent?

Which best describes the first law of thermodynamics as compared to the second law of thermodynamics? a. the first law describes how thermal energy is conserved but not the direction it moves. b. the first law describes the direction thermal energy moves but not how it is conserved. c. the first law describes how thermal energy can be created but not how it can be destroyed. d. the first law describes how thermal energy can be destroyed but not how it can be created.
