If a beam passes from a material with a refractive index of 1.3 into a material with a refractive index of 1.7 at an angle of 25 degrees (from normal), what is the angle of refraction of the beam? is the beam bent towards normal or away from it? sketch a diagram of this problem with rays, angles, and the interface labeled.

18.86° , it will bend towards normal.

Explanation:

For refraction,

Using Snell's law as:

Where,  

 is the angle of incidence  ( 25.0° )

is the angle of refraction  ( ? )

is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (n=1.7)

is the refractive index of the incidence medium ( n=1.3)

Hence,  

Angle of refraction = = 18.86°

Since, the light ray is travelling from a material with a refractive index of 1.3 into a material with a refractive index of 1.7 or lighter to denser medium, it will bend towards normal.

The diagram is shown below:

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..

current and voltage can both be different in different parts of a circuit so it matters where you place the ammeter and voltmete
