A) 1.55
The speed of light in a medium is given by:

where
is the speed of light in a vacuum
n is the refractive index of the material
In this problem, the speed of light in quartz is

So we can re-arrange the previous formula to find n, the index of refraction of quartz:

B) 550.3 nm
The relationship between the wavelength of the light in air and in quartz is

where
is the wavelenght in quartz
is the wavelength in air
n is the refractive index
For the light in this problem, we have

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find
, the wavelength in air:

Answer:
41.16 m/s
Explanation:
Final velocity is equal to gravity multiplied by time; v = gt
Gravity is always 9.8 m/s/s (m/s^2), so
v = 9.8 * 4.2
v = 41.16
Answer:
The height of the wave is determined by the wind strength and fetch.
Explanation:
The height of the wave is determined by the wind strength and fetch.
The more the strength and the more the fetch size the more will be the height of the wave.
Remember as the wave approaches the coast its wavelength decreases and the wave height increases, whereas when the wave goes away from the coast its wavelength increases and height decreases.
Answer:
Explanation:
100 mph = 100 x 1760 x 3 / ( 60 x 60 )
= 146.67 ft / s
70 mph = 70 x 1760 x 3 / ( 60 x 60 )
= 102.67 ft/s
Let mass of the ball = m .
The ball which was moving with a velocity of 146.67 ft/s is turned back by the action of force of bat on the ball and it moved in opposite direction with velocity of - 102.67 ft/s ( - ve sign due to reversed direction )
If m be the mass of ball
change in momentum = m x 146.67 - ( - m x 102.67 )
= m x 146.67 + m x 102.67
= 249.34 m
Change in momentum = impulse = force x time
Putting the given values
249.34 m = force x 1 x 10⁻³ ( time = 10⁻³ s )
force = 249.34 m x 10³ poundal .
Here m is mass of the ball in lb .
