What is total internal refraction?
When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle,the light ray reflects into denser medium at interface. This is total internal refraction
Why are diamonds are excellent with total internal reflection?
Refractive index of the medium is equated to 1/ sin C Here C is the critical angle. Diamond has high refractive index more than 2. So critical angle becomes very low. So for falling radiations at angles of incidence greater than this smaller value of critical angle, total internal reflection becomes possible.
Why does solar power increase or decrease?
Because solar inclination changes with the season. In the summer, the solar inclination is greater. That means you have more incident sunlight on your solar panel. More sunlight equals more power.
Is plutonium more powerful than uranium?
No, plutonium is a different element entirely.
What are the conditions for total internal reflection to take place?
Light must travel from the optically denser medium to the optically less dense one. For total internal reflection to occur, the angle of incidence in the optically denser medium must be greater than the critical angle of that medium. The critical angle is that angle of incidence in the optically denser medium for which the angle of refraction is 90o.
What will happen to a light ray incident on a glass-to-air boumdary at greater than the critical angle?
Anything greater than critical angle will cause the light to just be reflected.
What is is the term for the phenomena observed when the incident angle is made greater than the critical angle?
Total internal reflection
What happens when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle?
You get total internal reflection. That is, the incident beam bounces off the interface back into the medium.
What is an open boundary?
it is a boundary that does not have any limit but it is open. for example, an open boundary for 4.4 is 'less than' or 'less than or equal to' 4.4 OR 'greater than' or 'greater than or equal' to 4.4
What is phase change in light of wavelength 600-NM incident in a material with index of refraction n equals 1.38 when it reflects from a material with index of refraction n equals 1.40?
When a light ray is incident on a boundary of greater density than the current medium, the reflected ray undergoes a 180 degree phase change
Why critical angle for water is greater than the critical angle of glass?
Because of the difference in the density of the materials.
What is required for a sound wave to be reflected?
It has to have a hard surface to bounce off of. :)Apex Not necessarily. The reflector is the surface of a medium of greater density than that through which the incident sound travels, and it can be the surface of water, or a density-boundary caused by sharp temperature or salinity differences in the sea.
Can a nulcear bomb have a core greater than its critical mass?
Yes.
What if your need is greater than mine write an incident in your life when this statement has come to your mind what do you mean by this statement?
"Your need is greater than mine"
Is plutonium more powerful then uranium?
Plutonium is more dangerous: the specific activity is greater, the critical mass is smaller, the chemical toxicity is greater.
What is the slope of 3x-2y equals or greater than 12?
The slope of the boundary line is 3/2.
What is critical in determining whether something is produced a public good?
It is critical in determining whether something is produced a public good if the benefit is greater than the cost.
