If the refractive index of benzere is 2.419, what is the speed of light in benzene?

Physics
1 answer:
Grace [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

v=1.24\times 10^8\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The refractive index of benzene is 2.419

We need to find the speed of light in benzene. The ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium equals the refractive index. So,

n=\dfrac{c}{v}\\\\v=\dfrac{c}{n}\\\\v=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2.419}\\\\v=1.24\times 10^8\ m/s

So, the speed of light in bezene is 1.24\times 10^8\ m/s.

In a rigid container, as the temperature of a gas decreases, the pressure of the gas will decrease. t f
Sergio039 [100]
The answer is true: the pressure of a gas will decrease as temperature decreases in a rigid container.

This is one of the central gas laws called the Gay-Lussac law that states for a given gas at a constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. We also know that as temperature reduces, so too does molecular interaction. Increased temperature results in increased pressure, and decreased temperature therefore results in decreased pressure.

You need to produce a set of cylindrical copper wire 3.5 m long that will have a
vazorg [7]

Solution :

We know, resistance is given by :

R = \dfrac{\rho l}{A}

A = \dfrac{\rho l }{R}\\\\A = \dfrac{1.72\times 10^{-8} \times 3.5 }{0.125}\\\\A = 4.816 \times 10^{-7} \ m^2

Now, we know mass of wire is given by :

Mass = Density \times Volume\\\\\M = 8.9 \times 10^3 \times 4.816 \times 10^{-7} \times 3.5 kg\\\\M = 0.01500\ kg\\\\M = 15.00\ gram

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the change in momentum of a 50-kg rock that falls freely for 3 seconds?
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

1470kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the rock = 50kg

Time taken for the free fall  = 3s

Unknown:

Change in momentum = ?

Solution:

The change in momentum will be difference between the ending momentum and finishing momentum.

  Momentum is the product of mass and velocity

       Momentum  = mass x velocity

Initial momentum  = 0, the velocity is 0

Final momentum = mass x final velocity

      let us find the final velocity;

                V = U + gt

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

t is the time

                 V  = 0 + 9.8x3 = 29.4m/s

So;

 Change in momentum  = 50 x 29,4  = 1470kgm/s
