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.

Citrus2011 [14]

In the motion of the medium particles in a longitudinal wave, the medium vibrates parallel to the direction of the wave.

<h3>What is a longitudinal wave?</h3>

A longitudinal wave is a wave that is transversing along the length. When the displacement of medium and travel of wave is the same in that condition wave is known as the longitudinal wave.

It requires some medium to travel. A mechanical and sound wave is an example of a longitudinal wave.

Hence in the motion of the medium particles in a longitudinal wave, the medium vibrates parallel to the direction of the wave.

To learn more about the longitudinal wave refer to the link;

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Resistivity ρ=1.12 x 10^-4 Ωm

Explanation:

ρ= RA/l, where R is resistance, A is cross sectional area and l is length

A=πr^2

Note Current is given R is proportion to temperature and inversely proportional to Current R=(20+273)/14*10^-2 =2000Ω

⇒ρ=R*πr^2/l all length in metre.
