Explanation Given: The width of the solid = y The angle of incidence = θ i (Measured from the experiment) The angle of refraction = θ r (will be calculated) The distance from one end of the solid and to the point where the beam enters the solid = x 1 The distance from the same end of solid and to the point the beam exists the solid = x 2 Formula used: By geometry, the refracted angle can be calculated by the following equation θ r = tan − 1 ( x 2 − x 1 y ) The refractive index of the solid n 2 can be found by the snellâ€™s law n 2 n 1 = sin θ i sin θ r Where, n 2 is the refractive index of the solid n 1 is the refractive index of the air (= 1) If the refractive index of the solid is known, the speed of the light in the solid can be found from the equation...

Four capacitors are connected as shown in the figure below. (Let C = 12.0 µF.) A circuit consists of four capacitors. It begins at point a before the wire splits in two directions. On the upper split, there is a capacitor C followed by a 3.00 µF capacitor. On the lower split, there is a 6.00 µF capacitor. The two splits reconnect and are followed by a 20.0 µF capacitor, which is then followed by point b. (a) Find the equivalent capacitance between points a and b. µF(b) Calculate the charge on each capacitor, taking ΔVab = 16.0 V. 20.0 µF capacitor µC 6.00 µF capacitor µC 3.00 µF capacitor µC capacitor C µC
