Concept explainers

Refraction of Light
Refraction is a change in the direction of light rays when they travel from one medium to another. It is the bending of light when it goes through different media.
Angle of Refraction
Light is considered by many scientists to have dual nature, both particle nature and wave nature. First, Particle nature is one in which we consider a stream of packets of energy called photons. Second, Wave nature is considering light as electromagnetic…
Index of Refraction of Diamond
Diamond, the world’s hardest naturally occurring material and mineral known, is a solid form of the element carbon. The atoms are arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. They exist in a huge variety of colours. Also, they are one of the bes…
Question

An opaque cylindrical tank with an open top has a diameter
of 3.00 m and is completely filled with water. When the
afternoon Sun reaches an angle of 28.0° above the horizon,
sunlight ceases to illuminate the bottom of the tank. How
deep is the tank?
