The index of refraction for water is about 4/3. What happens to light when it travels from air into water?

Answer:

The light slows down to a speed equal to 3/4 of its original value

Explanation:

The speed of light in a medium is given by:

v=\frac{c}{n}

where

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in a vacuum

n is the index of refraction of the medium

For light entering air, we have that the light enters a medium with index of refraction of

n=\frac{4}{3}

Therefore, its speed changes as follows

v=\frac{c}{\frac{4}{3}}=\frac{3}{4}c=\frac{3}{4}(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)=2.25\cdot 10^8 m/s

A single roller-coaster car is moving with speed v0 on the first section of track when it descends a 4.7-m-deep valley, then cli
yan [13]

Explanation:

From the curve given in the attachment,

a) minimum speed v0 required if the car is to travel beyond the top of the hill

climb to the top = 5.4 m

Therefore, V_0=\sqrt{2gh}

V_0=\sqrt{2(9.81)(5.4)} =  10.29 m/s

b) No, we cannot affect this speed by changing the depth of the valley to make the coaster pick up more speed at the bottom as this speed does not depend upon depth of the valley.

If =12a andthe distance from each wire to point p is 0.12m, then what is the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on
vaieri [72.5K]

The magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on the top wire is

2×10⁻⁵  N/m

<h3>How can we calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on the top wire ?</h3>

To calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on the top wire, we are using the formula

F= \frac{\mu_0 I_f}{2\pi d}

Here we are given,

\mu_0= magnetic permeability

= 4\pi×10⁻⁷ H m⁻¹

If= 12 A

d= distance from each wire to point.

=0.12m

Now we put the known values in the above equation, we get

F= \frac{\mu_0 I_f}{2\pi d}

Or, F = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times  12}{2\pi \times 0.12}

Or, F= 2×10⁻⁵ N/m.

From the above calculation, we can conclude that the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on the top wire is 2×10⁻⁵ N/m.
