1. The function of lenses is based on the law of refraction. A light beam is traveling from the medium 1 where its speed is V1,

to the medium 2 where its speed is V2 = 0.8 V1. a) If the first medium is the air (n1 = 1), what is the index of refraction for the second medium?

Answer:

The index of refraction for Medium 2 would be 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

Speed of light in Medium 1 = V₁

Speed of light in Medium 2 = V₂

The speed of Light in Medium 2 is related to speed of light in Medium 1 as:

V₂ = 0.8 V₁

Moreover, it is given that Medium 1 is air with index of refraction equal to 1. i.e.

n₁ = 1

We need to find the index of refraction for medium 2. Lets name it is as n₂.

Snell's law related the above mentioned 4 quantities by following relation:

The ratio of indices of refraction of 2 mediums is equivalent to the reciprocal of ratio of  phase velocities in those 2 mediums. Mathematically, this can be written as:

\frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}} = \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}

Substituting the values we have gives us:

\frac{1}{n_{2}}=\frac{0.8V_{1}}{V_{1}} \\\\\frac{1}{n_{2}}=0.8\\\\ 1=0.8n_{2}\\\\\frac{1}{0.8}=n_{2}\\\\ n_{2}=1.25

This means, the index of refraction for Medium 2 would be 1.25

Micah went to the mall with $50 to spend. After spending $8.75 on lunch, he
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he spends 8.75 on lunch, we subtract that from the total, 50 dollars. When we subtract that, we get 41.25 left. The variable is not clear for the sweatshirt cost and how much money you can spend on it, so I will call it x. Since 41.25 is the total amount you can spend on a sweatshirt, anything exactly that amount or less is okay. So, our answer is x is less than or equal to 41.25. (Less than or equal to is the < with a slash underneath)

Edgar accumulated $11,000 in credit card debt. If the interest rate is 30% per year and he does not make any payments for 3 year
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

= 1.38778e-141 which makes interest a large amount 139 million and 108 hundred thousand and fourhundred and four.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is A= P 1+ r/n ^nt

So we input for A = (11000) x 1.30/11000 ^ 36 x 3

= 1.38778e-141 which makes interest a large amount 139 million and 108 hundred thousand and fourhundred and four.

The formula used in the compound interest calculator is A = P(1+r/n)(nt)

A = the future value of the investment

P = the principal investment amount

r = the interest rate (decimal)

n = the number of times that interest is compounded per period

t = the number of periods the money is invested for
