What is the relationship between refraction and the speed of light?

Physics
1 answer:

Answer:

n=\frac{c}{v}

Explanation:

Refraction: It is a process in which light ray travel from one medium to another medium.

When a light  travel form one medium to another medium then the speed of light changes.

When a light travel from rare to denser  medium then the light bend towards normal .

When a light travel form denser to rare medium then the light ray bend away from the normal.

Refractive index:It is a ratio of velocity of light in vacuum to the velocity of light in medium .It is a measure of change in speed of light when it passes from vacuum into material.It is represented by "n''.

Mathematical representation:

n=\frac{c}{v}

Where n=Refractive index of material

c=Velocity of light in vacuum

v=Velocity of light in medium

A pair of toy freight cars, one twice the mass of the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. Acc
saul85 [17]

Answer:

greater acceleration is experienced by the car with lower mass

Explanation:

Since both the toys are connected by same spring so the force due to spring on both the toys will be same and it is given as

F = kx

now we know by Newton's II law

F = ma

so here we have

a = \frac{F}{m}

here we have same force on both the blocks

so acceleration will be more if mass is less

so greater acceleration is experienced by the car with lower mass
