Question
Chapter 29, Problem 26A
To determine
To Explain: Critical angle in terms of refraction and total internal reflection.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The angle of incidence that provides an angle of refraction that is 
is known as a critical angle. The complete reflection of the light ray within the medium such as water or glass from the surrounding surfaces and back to the same medium is known as total internal reflection.
Explanation:
The critical angle is an angle of incidence at which the refracted ray makes angle perpendicular to the surface. When a light ray obeys the normal rules for the reflection then the angle of reflection of equal to the critical angle.
The total internal reflection takes place when the angle made by refracted ray is greater than or equal to critical angle.
Conclusion:
The critical angle is an angle of incidence at which the refracted ray makes perpendicular to normal of surface.

- No chatgpt pls will upvotearrow_forwardYou are working with a team that is designing a new roller coaster-type amusement park ride for a major theme park. You are present for the testing of the ride, in which an empty 150 kg car is sent along the entire ride. Near the end of the ride, the car is at near rest at the top of a 100 m tall track. It then enters a final section, rolling down an undulating hill to ground level. The total length of track for this final section from the top to the ground is 250 m. For the first 230 m, a constant friction force of 370 N acts from computer-controlled brakes. For the last 20 m, which is horizontal at ground level, the computer increases the friction force to a value required for the speed to be reduced to zero just as the car arrives at the point on the track at which the passengers exit. (a) Determine the required constant friction force (in N) for the last 20 m for the empty test car.
