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.

Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

In recent times of pandemic, robots can be use as replacement of labor in the industries. Mundane tasks can be programmed in their system so that they can used readily.

Drones can used delivery for essential goods and services, so that human interference can be least and the spread of virus can be curbed.

The notes produced by a tuba range in frequency from approximately 45 Hz to 375 Hz. Find the possible range of wavelengths in ai

taurus [48]

Answer:

The possible range of wavelengths in air produced by the instrument is 7.62 m and 0.914 m respectively.

Explanation:

Given that,

The notes produced by a tuba range in frequency from approximately 45 Hz to 375 Hz.

The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.

To find,

The wavelength range for the corresponding frequency.

Solution,

The speed of sound is given by the following relation as :

$v=f_1\lambda_1$

Wavelength for f = 45 Hz is,

$\lambda_1=\dfrac{v}{f_1}$

$\lambda_1=\dfrac{343}{45}=7.62\ m$

Wavelength for f = 375 Hz is,

$\lambda_2=\dfrac{v}{f_2}$

$\lambda_2=\dfrac{343}{375}=0.914\ m/s$

So, the possible range of wavelengths in air produced by the instrument is 7.62 m and 0.914 m respectively.

Find the relation, time velocity graph : acceleration of an object, time position graph : ?

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

In a time-position graph (s-t graph):

slope = velocity

In a time-velocity graph (v-t graph):

slope = acceleration

area under graph = change in displacement (distance travelled)

In a time-acceleration graph (a-t graph):

area under graph = change in velocity
