When rays travel from a denser medium to a less dense medium, we can define a critical angle of incidence θ such that refracted angle θ₂ = 90°. Applying Snell's law: Critical angle θ = sin-1(n₂/n₁).

When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle, 100% of the light intensity is reflected. This is called total internal reflection because all the light is reflected.

15. Calculate the critical angle of glass and water combination. Show your calculation.

16. What is the critical angle for the interface between Mystery A and glass?

Explanation:

15.  Applying Snell's law; Critical angle θ = sin-1(n₂/n₁).

where n₂,refractive index of water = 1.33, n₁, refractive index of glass = 1.50 since glass is denser than water

θ = sin-1(1.33/1.50)

θ = 62.45°

Critical angle of glass and water combination, θ = 62.45°

16.  Refractive index of mystery A , n = c/v

where v = 0.41 c

therefore, n = c / 0.41 c = 2.44

Critical angle for the interface between Mystery A and glass, θ = sin-1(n₂/n₁).

where n₂,refractive index of glass = 1.50, n₁, refractive index of mystery A = 2.44 since mystery A is denser than glass as seen from its refractive index

θ = sin-1(1.50/2.44)

θ = 37.93°

Critical angle for the interface between Mystery A and glass, θ = 37.93°

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
