Answer:

1.25 \cdot 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of light through a medium is given by:

v=\frac{c}{n}

where

c = 3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light through vacuum

n is the index of refraction of the material

In this case, diamond has a refractive index of n = 2.4, so the speed of light in diamond is

v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{2.4}=1.25\cdot 10^8 m/s

Help me please, please !
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

b and d

a, c, e, and f

Explanation:

Ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

Solving for temperature:

T = PV / (nR)

Therefore, temperature is directly proportional to pressure and volume, and inversely proportional to the number of molecules.

T = k PV / N

Let's say that T₀ is the temperature when P = 100 kPa, V = 4 L, and N = 6×10²³.

a) T = k PV / N = T₀

b) T = k (2P) V / N = 2T₀

c) T = k (P/2) (2V) / N = T₀

d) T = k PV / (N/2) = 2T₀

e) T = k P (V/2) / (N/2) = T₀

f) T = k (P/2) V / (N/2) = T₀

b and d have the highest temperature,

a, c, e, and f have the lowest temperature.
