Question
Chapter 5.2, Problem 12R
To determine
The air temperature near the ceiling of a room is higher as compare to the temperature of the air near the floor.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 12R
This is due to the density of the air on different temperature.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The warm air is lighter as compare to the cold air.
On increasing the temperature of the air its particle starts moving due to the kinetic energy in them. Therefore, the density of the warm air becomes low and it goes in upward direction towards the ceiling. The density of the air particle is high when it is cold and so it remain stays towards the floor.
Conclusion:
Hence, the warm air lifted upward due to its light density and the cold air settle downward as it has high density.

However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures.
