Explain why the speed of light is lower than 3.0 x 108 m/s as it goes through different media.

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

Sample Response: In a vacuum, there are no atoms or particles that interfere with the path of light. However, in other media, the speed of light is lower than 3.0 × 108 m/s because the wave is continuously absorbed and re-emitted by each atom in its path. The differences in speed are due to the composition of the medium and the density of the particles in the medium.

Answer:

$45.25^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Applying Snell's law

$n_1sin\theta_1 = n2*sin\theta_2\\1.33*sin(54.3) = 1.52*sin\theta_2\\sin\theta_2 = 1.33*0.81208353/1.52 = 0.71057\\\theta_2=sin^{-1} (0.71057)\\\theta_2 = 45.25^{\circ}$

gogolik [260]

Answer:

fixed cost $231220

Explanation:

given data:

quantity of skl mask = 22,940

skl mass rate = $19 each

variable cost = $6 per unit

therefore

Contribution/unit of ski mask = 19 - 6 = $13

for 22940 ski masks, total cost = (22940*13) = 298220

Depreciation cost $67000

fixed cost is = 298220 - 67000 = $231220
