By definition, the refractive index is
n = c/v
where c =  3 x 10⁸ m/s,  the speed of light in vacuum
v = the speed of light in the medium (the liquid).

The frequency of the light source is
f = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(495 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 6.0606 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Because the wavelength in the liquid is 434 nm = 434 x 10⁻⁹ m, 
v = (6.0606 x 10¹⁴ 1/s)*(434 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 2.6303 x 10⁸ m/s

The refractive index is (3 x 10⁸)/(2.6303 x 10⁸) = 1.1406

Answer:  a.  1.14

Describe the heliocentric model of the universe
drek231 [11]
<span>The heliocentric model of the universe was proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus. There are numerous scientist in ancient times who try to explain what happens in the universe. He may not be the first one who proposed that what astronomical body is the center of the universe. However, he stated that the center of the universe was the sun, not the earth. And the earth revolves around it. It is in his book on the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies. It was only published as he lay in his deathbed. </span>

Answer:

Apply this to waves: count the number of waves passing each second (= frequency), and multiply by the length of each (= wavelength) to find the speed. speed = distance/time = l/T= l / (1/f) = f λ. Work through three examples: A simple example, perhaps for sound in air, with values in Hz and m.

Explanation:Apply this to waves: count the number of waves passing each second (= frequency), and multiply by the length of each (= wavelength) to find the speed. speed = distance/time = l/T= l / (1/f) = f λ. Work through three examples: A simple example, perhaps for sound in air, with values in Hz and m.

Amplitude is the fluctuation or displacement of a wave from its mean value. With sound waves, it is the extent to which air particles are displaced, and this amplitude of sound or sound amplitude is experienced as the loudness of sound

But it seems that in some circumstances, sound can jump between objects in a vacuum after all. Sound waves are travelling vibrations of particles in media such as air, water or metal. So it stands to reason that they cannot travel through empty space, where there are no atoms or molecules to vibrate.
