Abeam of light, traveling in air, strikes a plate of transparent material at an angle of incidence of 56.0°. it is observed that the reflected and refracted beams form an angle of 90.0°. what is the index of refraction of this material?

the index of refraction for the transparent material is 1.48

Explanation:

let n1 = 1.0 be the refractive index of air and n2 be the refractive index of the trasnparent material.

then:

Snell's Law state that:

n1×sin(∅1) = n2×sin(∅2)

where ∅1 = 56.0° is the angle of incidence and  ∅2 = 90 - 56.0 = 34° be the angle refraction.

n1×sin(∅1) = n2×sin(∅2)

          n2 = n1×sin(∅1)/sin(∅2)

               =  (1.0)×sin(56.0°)/sin(34.0°)

               =  1.48

Therefore, the index of refraction for the transparent material is 1.48

depends on what you mean by "group." for order, it would be coleoptera (beetles). for class, it would be insecta (insects). for phylum, it would be the arthropoda (animals with jointed exoskeletons).

explanation:

he kicked it 10 feet straight up into the air? i think this works.
