Light travels at 3.0 × 108 m/s in a vacuum and slows to 2.0 × 108 m/s in glass. What is the index of refraction of glass?

We are asked to solve for the index of refraction and the formula is n = c/v where "n" represents the index of refraction, "c" represents the speed of light in the vacuum while "v" represents the speed of another medium.
In the problem, we have the given values below:
c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
v = 2 x 10^8 m/s
n =?

Solving for n, we have the solution below:
n = 3x10^8 / 2x10^8
n = 1.5

The answer is 1.5 for the index of refraction.

Answer:

$K=58.8N/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $M=0.442$

Drop distance $d=0.150$

Generally the equation for Spring Constant is mathematically given by

$K=\frac{2mg}{x}$

$K=\frac{2*0.442*9.8}{1.150}$

$K=58.8N/m$

What is 8200 N/m2 expressed in kilopascals?

natima [27]

The S.I. unit for the measure of the pressure is the Pascal (Pa). 1 Pascal corresponds to
$1 Pa = 1 N/m^2$

We can convert the number given by the problem into Pascal:
$8200 N/m^2 = 8200 Pa$

And since $1 Pa = 10^{-3}kPa$ , we have
$8200 Pa = 8200 \cdot 10^{-3}kPa =8.2 kPa$
