Answer:
The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the charge and voltage of a system. It is also dependent, if present, on the dielectric as well.
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Gauss's Law</u>
Capacitance Formula:
- <em>Q</em> denotes charge
- <em>V</em> denotes voltage
Dielectric Capacitance Formula:
- <em>C₀</em> denotes original capacitance
- <em>κ</em> denotes the dialectic constant
Explanation:
A <u>capacitor</u> <em>stores</em> charge when run through an electrical current. The <u>capacitance</u> is <em>how much </em>charge a capacitor can hold.
We can define the relationship of capacitance by using the formula. Capacitance is <em>inversely proportional</em> to the potential energy, or <u>voltage</u>, of the system. Therefore, you will need to know what the <u>charge</u> Q of the system as well has voltage V in order to find the capacitance.
If there is a dielectric involved inside the capacitance, you also must incorporate the value of the <u>dielectric constant </u>into your capacitance. A dielectric is <em>directly proportional </em>to the capacitance; the bigger the dielectric constant, the bigger capacitance, as denoted in our equation.

Reflection<span> is bouncing off a barrier or interface. </span>Refraction<span> is bending of light's path at the interface between two media. All angles are to be measured from the normal to the surface. The incident angle and the reflected angle are equal. The refracted angle may be larger or smaller than the incident angle.</span>
<span>The </span>index of refraction, n, is a ratio that compares the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in another medium.
n = c/v where c = speed of light in a vacuum = 3x108<span> m/s</span>
The speed of light in all other media is less than in a vacuum. Therefore, n is always larger than one. It may be thought of as the measure of the slowness of light in a medium: the slower light travels in medium, the larger n will be for that medium. Since n divides speed by speed it has no units.
The frequency of light does not change as it enters a different medium, but its wavelength does. Since
v = fL where f = frequency and L = wavelength
then
v1/v2<span> = L</span>1/L<span>2

1.
a. What is the speed of light in water, if water's index of refraction is 1.33?
b. If the wavelength of a ray of light in a vacuum is 1x10-6 m, what is its wavelength in water?
ANSWER
1.
a. n = c/v
1.33 = (3 X 108 m/s)/v
v = 2.26x108 m/s
b. v1/v2 = L1/L2
(2.26x108 m/s)/(3x108 m/s) = L1/(1x10-6 m)
L1 = 7.52x10-7 m
GWP is how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere
Answer:
Air
Explanation:
The mixing of cooler air in the lower troposphere with air flowing in a different direction in the middle troposphere causes the rotation on a horizontal axis, which, when deflected and tightened vertically by convective updrafts, forms a vertical rotation that can cause condensation to form a funnel cloud.

The main reason for using light years, however, is because the distances we deal with in space are immense. If we stick to miles or kilometers we quickly run into unwieldy numbers just measuring the distance to the nearest star: a dim red dwarf called Proxima Centauri that sits a mere 24,000,000,000,000 miles away!
