An incident ray strikes a piece of diamond at an angle of 40.5 degrees. the index of refraction of air is 1.0003 and the index of the refraction of diamond is 2.42. what is the angle of refraction?

The angle of refraction is 15.6 deg.

When a ray of light passes from medium 1 to medium 2, the refractive index of medium 2 with respect to 1 is the ratio of the absolute refractive index of medium 2 and medium 1

When light passes from air into diamond, with the given values of refractive indices,

According to Snell's law,

The angle of refraction is 15.6 deg

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.
