Calculate the speed of light in an unknown substance whose index of refraction is 1.65. Would you expect the light to bend towar

(a) The speed of light in the unknown substance is determined 1.82 x 10⁸ m/s.

(b) The light will bend away from the normal since speed of light in air is not equal to speed of light in the substance.

<h3>What is the speed of light?</h3>

The speed of light passing from air into the substance is calculated as follows;

refractive index = speed of light in air / speed of light in the substance

speed of light in the substance = speed of light in air/refractive index

speed of light in the substance = (3 x 10⁸) / (1.65)

speed of light in the substance = 1.82 x 10⁸ m/s

Thus, the light will bend away from the normal since speed of light in air is not equal to speed of light in the substance.

When 55.0 grams of metal at 75.0°C is added to 100. grams of water at 15.0°C, the temperature of the water rises to 18.7°C. Assu
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0,50 J/gºC

Explanation:

Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings

(Q = m . C . ΔT)metal + (Q = m . C . ΔT)water = 0

Let's replace our values.

55g . C . (18,7ºC - 75ºC) + 100g . 4,184 J/g·°C . (18,7ºC - 15ºC) = 0

55g . C . -56,3 ºC + 418,4J/·°C . 3,7ºC = 0

-3096,5 gºC . C + 1548,08 J = 0

1548,08 J = 3096,5 gºC . C

1548,08 J / 3096,5 gºC  = C = 0,50 J/gºC

A balloon contains a 10% glucose solution. The balloon is permeable to water but not to glucose. A beaker contains a 5% glucose
deff fn [24]

The state of the balloon:

When the balloon is submerged in the beaker, the amount of water in the beaker will get reduced.  

What is Osmosis:    

Based on the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane, water will flow through a permeable membrane in a specific direction.

<u><em>Hypertonic solution:</em></u>

It means that there are more solutes present in the surrounding environment than in the cell itself.

<u><em>Hypotonic solution:</em></u>

In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes inside the cell is higher than that outside the cell.

  • When comparing two solutions, the one with the larger solute concentration is hypertonic, and the one with the lower solute concentration is hypotonic. Isotonic solutions have an identical solute concentration.

  • While the solution in the beaker is hypertonic, Meaning that will draw water molecules out of the cell. As water molecules move from a location of high water potential (dilute solution) to a region of reduced water potential (10% glucose solution), the water from the 5% glucose solution will flow into the 10% one (concentrated solution)
  • This is the reason why the amount of water decreases when the balloon is submerged in the beaker.

Helium has a density of 1.79 x 10-4 g/mL at standard temperature and pressure. A balloon has a volume of 6.3 liters. Calculate t
LenaWriter [7]
The density of He is 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL
In other words in 1 mL there's 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g of He. 
To fill a volume of 6.3 L the mass of He required 
    = 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL * 6300 mL
   = 11 277 * 10⁻⁴ g
  Therefore mass of He required = 1.1277 g of He

Where does the formation of rocks began
bekas [8.4K]

Hi!

All rocks are connected in a cycle of creation, change, and destruction called the Rock Cycle. The rock cycle begins with molten rock (magma below ground, lava above ground), which cools and hardens to form igneous rock.


Hope this helps!
