Let the light ways moving from a material to another material. There are 2 scenarios:
- The ray is moving from water to glass. The intensity of the refracted rays is 98.92 % and the intensity of the reflected rays is 1.08%.
- The ray is moving from air to glass. The intensity of the refracted rays is 90.87% and the intensity of the reflected rays is 9.13%.
The index of diffraction of air, water, and glass are 1.00, 1.33, and 1.50 respectively.
Explain these differences in the intensity between 2 scenarios.

A boater dumps 2.00 kg of ice from a cooler into the lake at the end of a fishing trip. The ice is at a temperature of -8.00 oC and the lake water is at 15.0 oC. What is the change in entropy of the lake-ice cube system after the ice comes into equilibrium with the lake? Hint: the lake is very large.

The naturally occurring isotope K40 is widely spread in the environment. In fact, the average concentration of potassium in the crustal rocks is 27 g/kg and in the oceans is 380 mg/liter. K40 occurs in plants and animals, has a half-life of 1.3 billion years and a natural abundance of 0.0119 percent.
Potassium's concentration in humans is 1.7 g/kg. In urine, potassium's concentration is 1.5 g/liter.
(You can skip i. I just need to know how to do ii, iii, iv. please) Thank you!
i) Calculate the specific activity of K40 in Becquerels per gram of K40.
ii) Calculate the specific activity of K40 in Becquerels per gram of K.
iii) Calculate the specific activity of K40 in urine in Bq/Liter
iv.) A beta activity above 200 transformations (disintegrations) per minute per liter of urine following exposure to fission products is indicative of an internal deposition. How does this "body burden" criterion compare to the activity caused by the one due to the naturally occurring potassium?

As preparation for this problem, review Conceptual Example 9. From the top of a cliff overlooking a lake, a person throws two stones, as shown in the drawing. The cliff is 35.0 m high. The two stones described have identical initial speeds of v0 = 17.6 m/s and are thrown at an angle θ = 31.3 °, one below the horizontal and one above the horizontal. What is the distance between the points where the stones strike the water? Neglect air resistance.

Prove
(a) that ψ ± = N (x ± iy)f(r) is an eigenfunction of L^2 and Lz and
set the eigenvalues corresponding.
(b) Construct a wave function ψ_0(r) that is an eigenfunction of L^2
whose eigenvalue is the same as that of a), but whose eigenvalue Lz
differs by a unit of the one found in a).
(c) Find an eigenfunction of L^2 and Lx, analogous to those of
parts a) and b), which have the same eigenvalue L^2 but whose
eigenvalue Lx is maximum
(d) If the wave function for a particle is that of part c), what
are the probabilities of finding it in each of the states described
by the wave functions ψ0, ψ + and ψ− of a) and b)?

A small spherical insulator of mass 5.49 × 10-2 kg and charge +0.600 μC is hung by a thin wire of negligible mass. A charge of -0.900 μC is held 0.150 m away from the sphere and directly to the right of it, so the wire makes an angle with the vertical (see the drawing). Find (a) the angle and (b) the tension in the wire.

A vertical axis rotational apparatus shown is the apparatus we used in Laboratory. The apparatus has low friction, low mass rotating bracket that holds a disk. The disk has a diameter of 25.4 cm and a mass of 4.33 kg. The hub around which the string is wrapped is 4.76 cm in diameter. The apparatus is accelerated by a string wrapped around a circular hub at the center of the base of the apparatus. The string passes horizontally over a low friction low mass pulley to a hanging mass which fall toward the floor when released. When the hanging mass is released from rest the disk spins through 4.0 rotations before hitting the floor The time from release to when the mass strikes the floor is 6.2 seconds. What is the angular acceleration of the apparatus using radian measure? Assume constant acceleration. Include units. Use the following format for writing powers positive s^2 or negative s^(-2).
