Light in vacuum is incident on the surface of a glass slab. In the vacuum the beam makes an angle of 38.0° with the normal to the surface, while in the glass it makes an angle of 26.0° with the normal. What is the index of refraction of the glass?

n_glass = 1.404

Explanation:

In order to calculate the index of refraction of the light you use the Snell's law, which is given by the following formula:

        (1)

n1: index of refraction of vacuum = 1.00

θ1: angle of the incident light respect to normal of the surface = 38.0°

n2: index of refraction of glass = ?

θ2: angle of the refracted light in the glass respect to normal = 26.0°

You solve the equation (1) for n2 and replace the values of all parameters:

The index of refraction of the glass is 1.404

the small 0.38-kg slider is known to move from position a to position b along the vertical-plane slot. determine (a) the work done on the body by its weight and (b) the work done on the body by the spring. the distance r = 0.70 m, the spring modulus k = 154 n/m, and the unstretched length of the spring is 0.53 m

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
