Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Refractive index is defined as the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in medium. It is represented as $\eta$ . Speed of light in vacuum is always equal to $3\times 10^8m/s$

Mathematically,

$\eta=\frac{\text{Speed of light in vacuum}}{\text{Speed of light in medium}}$

If the refractive index is more, the speed of light in that medium will be slow and vice-versa.

As, the refractive index of glass is more than the refractive index of space. Hence, the speed of light will be slower in glass.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D.

Earth is 149.6 million meters from the Sun and takes 365 days to make one complete revolution around the Sun. Mars is 227.9 mill

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

$\frac{a_{r,earth}}{a_{r,mars}} = 2.325$

Explanation:

The distance of Earth from the Sun is $149.6\times 10^{9}\,m$ and of Mars from the Sun is $227.9\times 10^{9}\,m$ . Let assume that both planets have circular orbits. The centripetal accelaration can be found by using the following expression:
