determine the maximum angle theta for which the light rays incident on the end of the optical fiber of radius 1 mm are subhect to the total internal reflection along the walls of the fiber. assume that the fiber has an index of refraction od 1.2 and that the outside medium is air. note that the rays refracts when entering the fiber g

Explanation:

Let the critical angle be C .

sinC = 1 / μ where μ is index of refraction .

sinC = 1 /1.2

= .833

C = 56°

Then angle of refraction r = 90 - 56 = 34 ( see the image in attached file )

sin i / sinr = 1.2 , i is angle of incidence

sini = 1.2 x sinr = 1.2 x sin 34 = .67

i = 42°.  

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.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
