Explaining Wave Speed through Different Media

Physics
1 answer:
Serggg [28]4 years ago
7 0

Explain why the speed of light is lower than

3.0 × 108 m/s as it goes through different media.

--------------------

the molecules are forced to vibrate. that vib causes re emission. speed of emiited waves less than in vac.

Match the theory to the statement that best describes it. 1. big bang. 2. steady state. 3.osscillating universe. 4. inflation Ch
Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation :

(1) Big bang : (1) The most accepted theory on the origin of the universe.

This theory shows the expanding of the universe from high density and high-temperature states.

(2) Steady state : (3) All is the same and will always stay the same.

Steady state means that the properties of any system remain the same always.

(3) Oscillating universe : (4) Agrees with the big bang theory but insists the universe expanded much quicker.

Oscillating universe theory is the result of big bang theory.

(4) Inflation Choices : (2) it's like an inflating and deflating balloon that never stops.  

In cosmology, cosmic inflation or deflation is just the expanding and contraction of the universe.

So, the statements and the choices are related as:

               (1)-(1)

              (2)- (3)

               (3)-(4)

               (4)-(2)

Why are lanthanum and actinium at the bottom of the periodic table?
7nadin3 [17]
The periodic table is organized in a way in which trends with certain things such as ionization energy or atomic radius would "work out". It also have increasing atomic mass.

It's also organized to tell you the electron and proton of each element, least to greatest. (the atomic number) Example: Chlorine has 17 protons and 17 e-
(Left to right)
(Top to bottom)

Lanthanum and actinium play the role of being in the bottom because of their large atomic radius and having many protons/electrons.
They're also in the F block for electron configuration.

A ramp with a mechanical advantage of 8 lifts objects to a height of 1.5 meters how long is the ramp
AlekseyPX

<u>Given data:</u>

M.A. =  8 (No units),

Ramp height (h)= 1.5 m, lifted,

Determine how long is the ramp=?

<em>General formula </em>

<em> Mechanical Advantage = (Ramp length) ÷ (Ramp height),</em>

<em>                              M.A = l  ÷ h </em>

<em>                                   8 × 1.5 = l = 12 m long</em>

<em>length of the ramp l ramp = 12 m</em>

A 50-cm-long spring is suspended from the ceiling. A 270 g mass is connected to the end and held at rest with the spring unstret
AveGali [126]

Answer:

k = 22.05 N/m

Explanation:

The potential energy of the mass is converted into potential energy of the spring.

Given:

mass m = 0.27 kg

gravitational constant g = 9.8 m/s²

distance falling/ stretching of spring h = 0.24 m

U_{gravity} = U_{spring}\\ mgh = \frac{1}{2} kh^{2}

Solving for k:

k = 2mg\frac{1}{h}
