<span>The statement presents a plausible and testable hypothesis or explanation for why the earth consistently rises in the East and sets in the West. A scientific theory is a an explanation of a phenomenon in the natural world that can be subjected to repeated testing through the scientific method, using either experiments or observation. For this reason, this statement can be classified as a scientific theory.</span>

A beam of light has a wavelength of 650 nm in vacuum. (a) What is the speed of this light in a liquid whose index of refraction

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are $2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s$ and 442 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 650 nm

Index refraction = 1.47

(a). We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed

$n = \dfrac{c}{v}$

Where, n = refraction index

c = speed of light in vacuum

v = speed of light in medium

Put the value into the formula

$1.47=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{v}$

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.47}$

$v= 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s$

(b). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$n=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{n}$

Where, $\lambda_{0}$ = wavelength in vacuum

$\lambda$ = wavelength in medium

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}}{1.47}$

$\lambda=442\times10^{-9}\ m$

Hence, The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are $2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s$ and 442 nm.

Satellite A has an orbital radius 3.00 times greater than that of satellite B. Satellite B's orbital period around Earth is 120

igomit [66]

Answer:

To find the circumference (orbit) of an object, you use Pi x Diameter.

As you have the circumference of B, you divide it by Pi to get the Diameter.

So 120 divided by 3.141592654 = 38.2 minutes for the Diameter.

As' radius and Diameter will be 3x greater than B.

38.2 x 3 = 114.6

To get back to the orbital period, times 114.6 by Pi, and you will get 360 minutes
