A glass optical fiber is used to transport a light ray across a long distance. The fiber has an index of refraction of 1.550 and is submerged in glycerin, which has an index of refraction of 1.473. What is the critical angle (in degrees) for the light ray to remain inside the fiber

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.

The magnitude of the poynting vector of a planar electromagnetic wave has an average value of 0.939 w/m^2 . the wave is incident upon a rectangular area, 1.5 m by 2.0 m, at right angles. how much total electromagnetic energy falls on the area during 1.0 minute?

Aball of mass 0.3kg is released from rest at a height of 8m. how fast is it going when it hits the ground? accleration due to gravity is g=9.8m/s
