Light coming straight from a laser pointer passes from air into a
tub of liquid. It hits the surface of the liquid at an angle of 28°
from vertical, and continues into the liquid at an angle of 22°.
What is the index of refraction of the substance in the tub? n =

1.25

Explanation:

From refractive index of the substance in the tub, n = sini/sinr where i = angle of incidence = 28° and r = angle of refraction = 22°

So, n = sini/sinr = sin28°/sin22° = 1.253 ≅ 1.25

d. air pressure decreases as altitude increases.

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.
