Suppose a vector v makes an angle (theta) with respect to the y axis. what could be the x and y component of the vector v? express your answers in terms of the variables v and (theta) separated by a comma.

As pet the question the vector  V makes an angle with respect to Y axis.

We are asked to calculate the the horizontal and vertical components i.e x component and y component.

Let us consider a two dimensional coordinate system which contains two axes X axis and Y axis which are perpendicular to each other.The vector V makes an angle with Y axis. Let the x component and y component is denoted as   respectively.

The diagram is given below

In triangle OAB,

In the triangle OAC, the angle AOC  

                                   ∵ cos[90-Ф]=sinФ

       Hence the x component and y component of the vector V is -

waves moving from a fast medium to a slow medium will experience a reflection as light travels more slowly than red light. total internal reflection occurs when the critical angle is.
