What is refractive index

1 answer:

BARSIC [14]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

In optics, the refractive index of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how fast light travels through the material. It is defined as where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the phase velocity of light in the medium or for short the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its velocity in a specified medium.

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. The sound has maximum intensity when the speakers are 20 cm apart. The sound

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The path length difference = extra distance traveled

The destructive interference condition is:

$\Delta d = (m+1/2)\lambda$

where m =0,1, 2,3........

So, ←

$\Delta d = (m+1/2)\lamb da9/tex]so [tex]\Delta d = \frac{\lambda}{2}$

⇒ λ = 2Δd = 2×10 = 20

A bullet is fired horizontally from a handgun at a target 100.0 m away. If the initial speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The distance is 0.53 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Target distance = 100.0 m

Speed of bullet = 300 m/s

We need to calculate the total time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{100.0}{300}$

$t=0.33\ sec$

Now, consider vertical motion of bullet.

Initial velocity of bullet in vertical direction = 0 m/s

We need to calculate the vertically distance

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value in the equation

$s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(0.33)^2$

$s=0.53\ m$

Hence, The distance is 0.53 m.
