c = speed of light in vacuum = 300,000 kilometers/second

n = index of refraction of material

v = speed of light in the material

Speed of light in a given material is given as

v = C/n

v = 300,000/n

for air, the value of index of refraction "n" is slightly greater, hence the speed of light in air is smaller than 300,000 kilometers/second. hence the light waves slow down.

so correct choice is

B.slow down

What phase difference between two otherwise identical harmonic waves, moving in the same direction along a stretched string, wil
lora16 [44]

Answer:

\theta=145

Explanation:

The amplitude of he combined wave is:

B=2Acos(\theta/2)\\

A, is the amplitude from the identical harmonic waves

B, is the amplitude of the resultant wave

θ, is the phase, between the waves

The amplitude of the combined wave must be 0.6A:

0.6A=2Acos(\theta/2)\\ cos(\theta/2)=0.3\\\theta/2=72.5\\\theta=145

Projectile's horizontal range on level ground is R=v20sin2θ/g. At what launch angle or angles will the projectile land at half o
seraphim [82]

Answer:

\theta = 15^o \: or\: 75^o

Explanation:

As we know that the formula of range is given as

R = \frac{v^2sin2\theta}{g}

now we know that

maximum value of the range of the projectile is given as

R_{max} = \frac{v^2}{g}

now we need to find such angles for which the range is half the maximum value

so we will have

\frac{R}{2} = \frac{v^2}{2g} = \frac{v^2sin(2\theta)}{g}

sin(2\theta) = \frac{1}{2}

2\theta = 30 or 150

\theta = 15^o \: or\: 75^o
