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

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

U = – 0.12J

Explanation:

Given N = 10 turns, I = 5A, r = 5×10-²m

B^ = 0.05 T iˆ+ 0.3 T kˆ

Magnitude of the magnetic field vector B = √(0.05²+0.3²) = 0.304T

Area = πr² = π(5×10-²)² = 7.85×10-³m²

Magnetic moment μ = NIA

μ = 10×5×7.85×10-³ = 0.3925Am²

U = -μ•B = –0.3925×0.304 = –0.12J

The sign is negative because the magnetic moment is aligned with the magnetic field.

kirill115 [55]

Here we can say that there is no external torque on this system

So here we can say that angular momentum is conserved

so here we will have

I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2

now we have

I_1 = mr^2

I_1 = (1kg)(0.05^2)

I_1 = 25\times 10^{-4} kg m^2

similarly let the final distance is "r"

so now we have

I_2 = mr^2

I_2 = 1r^2

now from above equation we have

(25\times 10^{-4})37 = (r^2)(58)

r = 0.04 m

so final distance is 0.04 m between them

Define accleration due to gravity​
kaheart [24]
Therefore as you move around the U.S. the acceleration due to gravity (g) varies from about 9.79 to 9.81 meters per second squared. The Earth’s average is 9.80 m/s2 which is generally reported as the acceleration of gravity on Earth.
