Answer:

2.1 x 10^8 m/s option (b)

Explanation:

refractive index of the fiber, n = 1.46

refractive index of air = 1

According to the definition of refractive index

Speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in fiber = n

speed of light in fiber = speed of light in air / n

                                   = ( 3 x 10^8) / 1.46 = 2.1 x 10^8 m/s

Thus, the speed of light in fiber is 2.1 x 10^8 m/s.

Answer:

The speed of the laser light in the cable, c_f=2.1\times 10^8\ m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of Argon laser, \lambda=5\times 10^2\ nm=5\times 10^{-7}\ m

Refractive index, n = 1.46

Let c_f is the speed of the laser light in the cable. The speed of light in a medium is given by :

c_f=\dfrac{c}{n}

c_f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{1.46}

c_f=2.05\times 10^8\ m/s

or

c_f=2.1\times 10^8\ m/s

So, the speed of the laser light is 2.1\times 10^8\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

(Briefly explain what would happen, if there is no existence of capacitor in our world?​
skelet666 [1.2K]

If there is no existence of capacitors in our world there would be no electrical or electronic engineering.

A capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy in an electric field. It has two terminals and is a passive electrical component. Capacitance refers to a capacitor's effect. A capacitor commonly referred to as a condenser is one of the fundamental parts needed to create electronic circuits. Without fundamental parts like resistors, inductors, diodes, transistors, etc., a circuit's design is incomplete or it won't work properly.

Energy storage is capacitors' most popular application. Power conditioning, signal coupling or decoupling, electronic noise filtering, and remote sensing are further applications. Capacitors are employed in a wide variety of industries and have integrated into daily life due to their numerous applications.

There are numerous significant uses for capacitors. They are employed in digital circuits, for instance, to prevent the loss of data saved in big computer memories during a brief loss of power. The electric energy held in such capacitors keeps the data from being lost during a brief power outage.
