Answer:

v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is given by :

v=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{k\mu_o\epsilon_o}}

Where

k is the dielectric constant of the substance.

v is the speed of light in water

c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1.78\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}

v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s

So, the speed of light in water is 2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s

An instructor gives a demonstration in which he makes a standing wave on a long thin slinky. The slinky is 6.0 meters long. If y
Naily [24]

The characteristics of standing waves allows to find the result for the speed of the wave is:

  • The speed wave is:  v = 10 m / s

The wave is a way of transmitting energy without mass displacement, , in the attachment we can see a diagram of the standing wave.

Each cycle corresponds to half a wavelength,  they indicate that the frequency is 2.50 Hz and there are three cycles, so the wavelength is:

      L = n \frac{\lambda}{2}

      λ = 2L/n

      λ = 2 6 /3

       λ = 4 m

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency

        v = λ f

         v = 4 2.5

         v = 10 m / s

In conclusion, using the characteristics of standing waves we can find the result for the speed of the wave is:

  • The wave speed is:   v = 10 m / s
