Which of the following condition is necessary for the occurrence of total internal reflection of light?

A.

light must travel from an optical less dense to a denser medium

B.

the angle of incidence must be equal to the critical angle

A wave of weight length 0.30m travels 900m in 3.0s, calculate its frequency

A.

68.0Hz

B.

225.0Hz

C.

1000Hz

D.

750.0Hz

Correct answer is C

V = \(\frac{s}{t} = \frac{900}{3} = 300\)m\s

f = \(\frac{v}{\pi} = \frac{300}{0.30}\)

= 1000Hz

The volume of a given mass of an ideal gas at 327k and 9.52 x 104 Pa is 40cm3. calculate the volume of the gas at 273k and 1.034 x 105Pa.

A.

68.23cm3

B.

47.91cm3

C.

44.60cm3

D.

30.75cm3

Correct answer is D

\(V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1T_2}{P_2T_1} = \frac{9.52 \times 10^4 \times 40 \times 273}{1.034 \times 10^5 \times 327}\)

= 30.75cm3
