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
Answer:
Accretion
Explanation:
Accretion is the process by which there is an accumulation of particles into a bigger object by attracting more mass by gravitational force into an accretion disk. This is one of the first steps in the formation of our solar system. There was a collapse of a gas cloud which resulted in most of the mass collecting in the center leading to the formation of the sun and the rest spread out forming the planets.
Answer:
26.67 m/s
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial sum of momentum equals the final sum.
p=mv where p is momentum, m is the mass of object and v is the speed of the object
Initial momentum
The initial momentum will be that of basketball and volleyball, Since basketball is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero
Final momentum
Answer:
Option B and Option D are true
Explanation:
We are given;
Number of atoms in block A = 800
Energy content in block A = 20 quanta
Number of atoms in block B = 200
Energy content in block B = 80 quanta
The energy of a system which is an extensive quantity,depends on the mass or number of moles of the system. However, at equilibrium, the energy density of the two copper blocks will be equal. That is, each atom of Cu in the two blocks will, on average, have the same energy. Because block A has 4 times more atoms than block B, it will have 4 times more quanta of energy. Thus, option B is therefore true while option A is false.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms in a material. Now, if each atom in blocks A and B have the same average energy, then the temperatures of blocks A and B will be equal at equilibrium. Thus, option D is true.
Entropy of a system is an extensive quantity that depends on the the mass or number of atoms in the system. Because block A is bigger than block B, it will have higher entropy. However, that the specific entropy (the entropy per mole or per unit mass) is an intensive quantity -- it is independent of the size of a system. The molar entropy of blocks A and B are equal at equilibrium. Thus option C is false.
