I am completely stuck . please help. please post step-by-step solution to help me better understand . I have attached problem. Please view before answering. Thank you!
Help me please
Help me solve the following table. Angle of incidence (?i) is 65, angle uncertainty (??) is 1. I tried (1*2.4919*pi)/180 * ((1/tan65)+(1/tan22)) = ?n, but it said the answer was wrong, and i don't know how to continue from there. So, the answer cannot be 4.8838.

- Large telescopes often have small fields of view, i.e. it can only see a very small corner of the sky. For example, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera has a field of view that is roughly square and about 0.055 degree on a side. How do I Calculate the angular area of the HST's field of view in square degrees?arrow_forwardQuestion in attachment .arrow_forwardAn angle's terminal ray begins rotating in the CCW direction, and a circle with a radius of 2.7 cm is centered at the vertex of the angle.

I stand 10 feet from a white wall, holding a laser pointer. The pointer makes a red dot on the wall directly in front of me. Then with a quick flick of my wrist (lasting only 0.1 second) I twist the laser pointer by 45°, and the red dot moves 10 feet in 0.1 second. I repeat the experiment standing 20 feet from a white wall, and the red dot moves 20 feet in 0.1 second. Finally, I repeat the experiment standing 186 000 miles from a white wall, and the red dot moves 186 000 miles in 0.1 second. In other words, the red dot moves 10 times faster than light speed. Why doesn't this motion violate the speed limit derived in this chapter?arrow_forwardTwo radio antennas separated by d = 294 m, as shown in the figure below, simultaneously broadcast identical signals at the same wavelength.

- Preliminary Questions 1. Is the image projected on a movie screen real or virtual? What about the image of yourself seen in a bathroom mirror? 2. Hold a shiny spoon in front of you. What differences do you notice about the image of your face seen in the convex and concave sides? 3. Where are the images formed by each side of the spoon? In front or behind the spoon? (Try the parallax method. Look at the image of an overhead light. Hold the tip of a pencil where think the image is. Move your head from side to side. If the image and pencil tip appear to you move relative to each other, adjust the position of the pencil back and forth until they appear to move as one.)arrow_forwardCompare the size of the Moon on the horizon with its size higher in the sky. One way to do this is to hold at arm's length various objects that will just barely block out the Moon. Experiment until you find something just right, perhaps a thick pencil or a pen. You'll find that the object will be smaller than a centimeter, depending on the length of your arms. Is the Moon really bigger when it is near the horizon?arrow_forwardHello, I know the answer is 2d but I want to know how to get to that answer. Please help.arrow_forward
