If the speed of light in air is 3.00 · 108 m/s (approximately equal to that in a vacuum) and the speed of light in water is 2.25

· 108 m/s, what is the index of refraction of water?

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

What are some indicators of energy transformations?
Annette [7]

Explanation:

Contact, vision, sound, flavor, and smell are all markers of energy transformations. The most basic example would be when we notice something has begun to pass through vision. Whenever an entity accelerates or slows down, energy is constantly transformed.

What is the threshold frequency ν0 of cesium? note that 1 ev (electron volt)=1.60×10−19 j. express your answer numerically in he
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The threshold frequency fo of Cesium is 4.83 × 10¹⁴ Hz

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The term of package of electromagnetic wave radiation energy was first introduced by Max Planck. He termed it with photons with the magnitude is:

\large {\boxed {E = h \times f}}

<em>E = Energi of A Photon ( Joule )</em>

<em>h = Planck's Constant ( 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js )</em>

<em>f = Frequency of Eletromagnetic Wave ( Hz )</em>

The photoelectric effect is an effect in which electrons are released from the metal surface when illuminated by electromagnetic waves with large enough of radiation energy.

\large {\boxed {E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \Phi}}

\large {\boxed {E = qV + \Phi}}

<em>E = Energi of A Photon ( Joule )</em>

<em>m = Mass of an Electron ( kg )</em>

<em>v = Electron Release Speed ( m/s )</em>

<em>Ф = Work Function of Metal ( Joule )</em>

<em>q = Charge of an Electron ( Coulomb )</em>

<em>V = Stopping Potential ( Volt )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

Φ = 2.1 eV = 2 × 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹ Joule = 3.20 × 10⁻¹⁹ Joule

<u>Unknown:</u>

fo = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

\Phi = h \times fo

3.20 \times 10^{-19} = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times fo

fo = ( 3.20 \times 10^{-19} ) \div ( 6.63 \times 10^{-34} )

\large {\boxed{fo = 4.83 \times 10^{14} ~ Hz} }
