For the scenarios in which total internal reflection is possible, rank the scenarios on the basis of the critical angle, the angle above which total internal reflection occurs. At this angle, the refracted ray is at 90 degrees from the normal. Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

ITEM A: n1benzene =1.50 n2water =1.33

ITEM B: n1diamond =2.42 n2water =1.33

ITEM C: n1diamond =2.42 n2air =1.00

ITEM D: n1water =1.33 n2air =1.00

$\rm A D B C$ (no overlap.)

Explanation:

Let

$\theta_i$ be the angle of incidence, and $\theta_r$ be the angle of refraction.

Also:

Let

be the index of refraction for the medium where the light comes from. Let n_r

be the index of refraction of the medium which the light enters after refraction.

Note that to achieve total internal reflection, $\displaystyle \frac{n_r}{n_i} \le 1$ . In other words, $n_r \le n_i$ . That's a hint for distinguishing between the two media.

By Snell's Law,

$n_i\, \sin \theta_i = n_r\, \sin \theta_r$ .

Rearrange this equation to obtain:

$\displaystyle \sin \theta_i = \frac{n_r\, \sin \theta_r}{n_i}$ .

At the smallest $\theta_i$ that ensures total internal reflection, $\theta_r = 90^\circ$ .

Accordingly, $\sin \theta_r = 1$ . Hence, the equation from Snell's Law would become

$\displaystyle \sin \theta_i = \frac{n_r\, \sin \theta_r}{n_i} = \frac{n_r}{n_i}$ .

The angle of incidence $\theta_i$ should be between $0^\circ$ and $90^\circ$ . On that range, $\sin \theta_i$ would be strictly increasing. To compare the

In this question,

Item A: $\displaystyle \frac{n_r}{n_i} = \frac{1.33}{1.50} \approx 0.887$ .Item B: $\displaystyle \frac{n_r}{n_i} = \frac{1.33}{2.42} \approx 0.550$ .Item C: $\displaystyle \frac{n_r}{n_i} = \frac{1.00}{2.42} \approx 0.413$ .Item D: $\displaystyle \frac{n_r}{n_i} = \frac{1.00}{1.33} \approx 0.752$ .

Rank of $\displaystyle \frac{n_r}{n_i}$ from largest to smallest: $\rm A D B C$ .

$\implies$ Rank of $\sin \theta_i$ from largest to smallest $\rm A D B C$ .

$\implies$ Rank of $\theta_i$ from largest to smallest $\rm A D B C$ .

Answer from: Quest

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
