The refractive index of a transparent material can be determined
by measuring the critical angle when the solid is in air. If
θc= 41.5° what is the index of refraction of the
material?

A light ray strikes this material (from air) at an angle of
37.1° with respect to the normal of the surface. Calculate the
angle of the reflected ray (in degrees).

Calculate the angle of the refracted ray (in degrees).

Light from a strongly unpolarized light source is reflected at the Brewster angle towards a water surface. The reflected light is directed towards a polaroid filter and after the filter the irradiance is measured. When the filter's transmission axis is parallel to the E-field result vector, a maximum irradiance of 500 W / m² is measured.
a) What happens to the light in the Brewester angle? (Maximum half A4 page as explanation)
b) If the filter is turned 25 ° clockwise from the position where maximum irradiance is measured, what intensity is measured?
c) If a further polaroid filter is placed behind the first filter with the transmission axis parallel to the transmission axis of the first filter and then rotated 25 ° clockwise, what intensity is then measured? In the interrogation room where witnesses are to point out criminals, witnesses can see criminals but criminals cannot see witnesses.
d) Does this have to do with polarization? How does this work? (Maximum half A4 page as explanation)

On a clear moonless night with no artificial illumination, the intensity of starlight and airglow is 2×10^−8 times that due to full sunlight. Suppose that you go outside on such a night and set a white golf ball on a dark surface, and then stand 10 m away from it. Your eye is capable of detecting light intensities as low as 2 × 10^−16 W. Will you be able to discern the white ball without the use of any artificial light, using your naked eye?

Question 5: In the 1983 film, ”Risky Business”, the actor Tom Cruise slides across the polished hardwood floor in white tennis socks. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the socks and the floor is 0.23, and we’ll assume that Tom has a mass of 75 kg. a) (4 points) If he wants to get a running start and then slide across the floor for 2 m, how fast does he have to be at the moment he starts sliding? b) (3 points) If Tom were to lose 10 kg, would he need the same speed as in part (a) to slide for 2m? Explain your answer, and calculate the speed for this case, if it is different from part (a). c) (5 points) Tom is not satisfied with the result of his sliding, so he asks his manager to push him (instead of running). If the manager pushes him with a force of 250 N over a distance of 80 cm on the hardwood floor, how far will Tom slide after being pushed? Assume a mass of 75 kg again for this part. d) (4 points) If Tom were to lose 10 kg, would he slide the same distance as in part (c)? Explain your answer, and calculate the distance for this case, if it is different from part (c).

One end of a cord is fixed and a small 0.550-kg object is attached to the other end, where it swings in a section of a vertical circle of radius 3.00 m, as shown in the figure below. When θ = 17.0°, the speed of the object is 9.00 m/s. An object is swinging to the right and upward from the end of a cord attached to a horizontal surface. The cord makes an angle θ with the vertical. An arrow labeled vector v points in the direction of motion.

The question I have to solve is that when two people A
and B run in the opposite direction at the same speed 0.6c, do they
agree with the referee that says the result is draw.
I want to approach this question in a different way so I set that A
looks back to B when he runs to the goal and feels like B is
running at 0.88c. Then does A think B is slower than A because the
relative speed is 0.88c-0.6c=0.22c? Or am I wrong to think this
way? I already found other methods such as time dilation so please
focus on the first method. Thank you.
