Provide an appropriate response.Find the error in the following "proof" that the area inside the lemniscate  and then find the correct area. A =  =  =  = 0

What will be an ideal response?


The error is in the limits of integration. There are no points on the curve corresponding to values of ? such that  or  since  is negative on these intervals. The correct area is a2.

Solve the problem.When light travels from one medium to another-from air to water, for instance-it changes direction. (This is why a pencil, partially submerged in water, looks as though it is bent.) The angle of incidence ?i is the angle in the first medium; the angle of refraction ?r is the second medium. (See illustration.) Each medium has an index of refraction-ni and nr, respectively-which can be found in tables. Snell's law relates these quantities in the formula ni sin?i = nr sin ?rSolving for ?r, we obtain ?r = sin-1 Find ?r for fused quartz (ni = 1.46), ethyl alcohol (nr = 1.36), and ?i = 8.5°.
