Answer:

The speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

Explanation:

since the critical angle is Фc = 430, we know that the refractive index is given by:

n = 1/sin(Фc)

  = 1/sin(430)

  = 1.06

then if n is the refractive index of the medium and c is the speed of light, then the speed of light in the medium is given by:

v = c/n

  = (3×10^8)/(1.06)

  = 281907786.2 m/s

Therefore, the speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The universe began, scientists believe, with every speck of its energy jammed into a very tiny point. This extremely dense point exploded with unimaginable force, creating matter and propelling it outward to make the billions of galaxies of our vast universe. Astrophysicists dubbed this titanic explosion the Big Bang.

Help pleasee
agasfer [191]

Answer:

i/f = i/o + i/i       f = focal, o = object, i = image

1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o  =    (o - f) / o f

i = o * f / ( o - f)      image distance

i = 12.5 * 22 / (12.5 - 22) = -28.9 cm

Image is real

Image is 28.9 cm to left of lens

M = - i / o = = 28.9 / 12.5 = 2.3     magnification (convex lens)

A 60kg student is sitting in a chair and is not moving. what is the force of a student acting on the chair? what is the force of
vazorg [7]

The force with which the student is acting in the chair and the force of the chair acting on the student is 588 N

Explanation:

  • There are two kinds of forces acting on you when you are sitting on the chair, they are the gravitational force and the force exerted by the chair on you.
  • The forces acting on the chair when you are sitting are the gravitational force and the force exerted by you.
  • As per  Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
  • Hence, F = ma

        that is, F = 60 * 9.8

                       =588 N

  • So, 588 N force should be applied from both sides then only you can sit properly in the chair.
