Refractive Index is a ratio of two similar physical quantity which is dimension less
refractive index = sin I / sin r

therefore it doesn't have a unit.

Refractive index is expressed as a ratio of speed of light in vacuum relative to the speed of considered medium. As it is a ratio and the units m/s or km/h cancel out each other. Therefore, the qauntity refractive index does not have any unit. I hope it will be helpful to you. Thank you

Determine the magnitude of the current flowing through a 4.7 kilo ohms resistor if the voltage across it is (a) 1mV (b) 10 V (c)
mariarad [96]

Answer:

213 nA

2.13 mA

851e^-t μA

Explanation:

We have a pretty straightforward question here.

Ohms Law states that the current in an electric circuit is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit. It is mathematically written as

V = IR, since we need I, we can write that

I = V/R

a) at V = 1 mV

I = (1 * 10^-3) / 4.7 * 10^3

I = 2.13 * 10^-7 A or 213 nA

b) at V = 10 V

I = 10 / 4.7 * 10^3

I = 0.00213 A or 2.13 mA

c) at V = 4e^-t

I = 4e^-t / 4.7 * 10^3

I = 0.000851e^-t A or 851e^-t μA

The measured value of the speed of light is about 300,000 km/s. suppose a futuristic space train is traveling at 200,000 km/s wi
Gwar [14]
The speed of light generally would be 300000km/s but since the train is moving in the same direction as the light it would apparently appear to be 100000km/s
