A beam of light passes through the air (n=1.00) and enters a diamond (n=2.42) at an angle of incidence of 40 degrees. Use Snell’s Law to find the angle of refraction in the diamond. If the diamond is placed in a tank of water (n=1.33) and the beam of light enters the diamond at the same angle of incidence, what would be the new angle of refraction? Show all work

newton's first law of motion

layers of the earth affect the waves and these effects are seen on instruiments such as seimometers

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
