Answer: 1.333

Explanation:

Index of refraction= n=c/v

Where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in material ( water) in this case.

n = 3.00.108/2.25.108

n =3.00/2.25

n = 1.333

Approximately 1.33

There is no unit because m/s cancels out m/s

N= velocity in vacuum/velocity in water 
n=3.00*10⁸m/s/2.25 *10⁸m/s= 3.00/2.25 ≈ 1.33

n ≈ 1.33

puteri [66]

Answer:

The force is 274 N.

Explanation:

In figure 2:

(d) Let the tension in the string is T.

According to the Newton's second law,

Net force = mass x acceleration

Apply for 200N.

T - 200 sin 35 =\frac{200}{9.8}\times a \\T - 114.7 = 20.4 a..... (1)\\220 - T = \frac{220}{9.8}\times a\\220 - T = 22.45 a..... (2)\\Adding both the equations\\334.7 = 42.85 aa =7.81 m/s^{2}

Now put in (1)

T - 114.7 = 20.4 x 7.81

T = 274 N
