A fiber-optic rod consists of a central strand of material surrounded by an outer coating. The interior portion of the rod has an index of refraction of 1.97. If all rays striking the interior walls of the rod with incident angles greater than 50.4° are subject to total internal reflection, what is the index of refraction of the coating?

There is a theory that indicates that dinosaurs became extinct when about 65 million years ago, a large asteroid hit the earth surface. dust caused by this collision blocked the sunlight reaching the earth's surface and many forms of life became extinct due to the cold. fearing this threat, how large the radius of an asteroid should you be looking for if the dangerous asteroid size is approximately the same as the one that killed the dinosaurs? available data suggests that about 18% of that asteroid's mass ended up as a dust spread evenly over earth after eventually settling out of the upper atmosphere. about 0.0180 g/cm^2 of dust, which is chemically different than the earth's rock, covered the earth's surface. typical asteroids have a density of about 1.9 g/cm^3. now that we know the size of the asteroid, how much energy was released during impact, assuming all of it was just the kinetic energy of the asteroid right before the impact?

Examine the nuclear reacti why is this classified as a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical reaction? it is not balanced. a new compound is formed. a change has occurred in a nucleus. a new element has been formed.

What is a subatomic particle with a negative charge and very little mass?
