    How do I solve for the solutions of sin 2θ = sin θ in degrees?

    Therefore the answer would be 0 degrees and 180 degrees? The book states that answers must greater or equal to one and less than 360.

    How do I solve for the solutions of sin 2θ = sin θ in degrees?

    Homework Statement sin 2θ = sin θ Find the solutions in degrees. Homework Equations sin 2θ = 2sinθcosθ The Attempt at a Solution sin 2θ = sin θ 2sinθcosθ = sin θ sinθ *cosθ/sin θ = 1 That's as far as I can get, and I think that is wrong. How do I procede from 2sinθcosθ = sin θ?

    Diffraction and Interference

    Homework Statement An aircraft causes a horizontal layer of charged particles to be formed in the atmosphere. Radio waves are relected without phase from this layer. Radio waves of frequency 8.00 x 10^2 kHz are received at a location 12 km from the transmitter. What is the minimum height of...

    Reflection and Refraction, much index of refraction

    For this problem I calculated 62.4 degrees, the same thing you got. As for B, I put water.

    Exploring Light: Refraction & Wavelength Questions

    1. I think number 1 has to deal with the electromagnetic waves being refracted. 2. I know I do 3.0 x 10^8 * .700 to get the speed of light in water. Then I'm stuck. 3. The speed is 2.25 x 10^8, but I don't know how to get the index of refraction. 4. I am really lost. 5. 50 degrees as...
