What is the speed of light?

Physics
1 answer:
Zielflug [23.3K]3 years ago
6 0

The speed of light is  299,792,458 meters per second  in vacuum,
somewhat less in any material.  How much less depends on the material.

Light travels from medium X into medium Y. Medium Y has a higher index of refraction. Consider each statement below:(i) The ligh
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

i) FALSE,  ii) TRUE,  iii) FALSE, iv)  FALSE

Explanation:

When light (electromagnetic radiation) travels through a material medium, its speed is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. If we define the index of parts

           n = c / v

where v is the speed of light in the material medium.

The direction of the ray can be determined by the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's apply these equations to our case where

          nₓ <n_y

i) The expression of the refractive index

          nₓ < n_y

         \frac{c}{v_x} = \frac{c}{n_y}

         v_y <vₓ

therefore the expression is FALSE

ii) If we use the law of refraction, the light, when passing from a medium with a lower start to another with a higher index, must approach the normal one, away from what would be the continuation of the path of the incident ray

so the expression is TRUE

iii) The speed of light is constant in all material media

the statement is FALSE

iv) light approaches normal

Let me clarify that the normal is a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact, not the direction of Io.

 the statement of FALSE

In loading a lorry, a man lifts boxes each of weight 100N through a height of 1.5m.
liq [111]

Answer:

The amount of work done in order to lift the box is 150\ Joule

Explanation:

Given the weight of each box is 100N

And the man lifts boxes at a height of 1.5m

We need to find the amount of work done.

The amount of work done is the product of applied force F that causes the displacement d.

In our problem force is 100N and displacement is  1.5m.

Now, work done

=force\times displacement\\=100\times1.5\\=150\ Joule

So, the amount of work done in order to lift the box is 150\ Joule

10. Calculate the kinetic energy of a running back that has a mass of 80 kg and
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>2560 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object given it's mass and velocity can be found by using the formula

KE =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question

m = 80 kg

v = 8 m/s

The kinetic energy is

KE =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 80 \times  {8}^{2}  \\  = 40 \times 64

We have the final answer as

<h3>2560 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

These are the types of attractions found between molecules. Their strength determines the state of the substance at room tempera
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Intermolecular forces

Explanation:

The force of attractions that act between molecules are called intermolecular forces.

Their nature is electromagnetic, this means that they are just an expression of the electromagnetic force.

One example of intermolecular force is the ionic bond: this type of bond occurs when there are two ions, one positively charged and the other one negatively charged, and they are attracted by each other due to the electrostatic force, which therefore creates a bond between them.

Other types of intermolecular forces include:

Hydrogen bond

Ion-dipole forces

Van der Waals forces

The strength of these intermolecular forces determine the state of the substance. In fact, in solids, these forces are very strong, so that the molecules are strongly bond to each other and they cannot move freely, but only vibrate about their fixed position. On the other hand, in gases, these forces are very weak, therefore the molecules are able to move freely away from each other.
