<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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.

Stels [109]

Answer:6.298,4.1,1.9015

Explanation:

Wavelength=\frac{velocity of sound }{frequency}

=\frac{343}{78}=4.397 m

Distance of 3rd speaker from speaker A is x

From B 78-x

Difference between the distances must be a whole number of wavelengths

First

x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=4.397    for 1 st wavelength

2x=8.2+4.397=12.597

x=6.298m

second

For zero wavelength

x-\left ( 8.2-x\right )=0

2x=8.2

x=4.1m

Third

\left ( 8.2-x\right )-x=4.397

x=1.9015 m

Explain how you think an asteroid impact could affect the tilt of Earth’s axis. Explain how this effect would change Earth’s sea
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

An asteroid impact could affect the tilt of the Earth due to the force it applies onto the planet. This would change Earth's seasons due to the fact that Earth's tilt causes seasons.

Should nuclear energy be part of sustainable energy future? explain your answer
liraira [26]

Answer:

Nuclear power is presently a sustainable energy source, but could become completely renewable if the source of uranium changed from mined ore to seawater. Since U extracted is continuously replenished through geologic processes, nuclear would become as endless as solar.
