If the speed of light in a substance is 2.26 x 10^8 m/s, what is the index of refraction of that substance?

Physics
1 answer:
vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

1.33

Explanation:

speed of light in vacuum, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

speed of light in medium, v = 2.26 x 10^8 m/s

The refractive index of the medium is given by

μ = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

μ = (3 x 10^8) / (2.26 x 10^8)

μ = 1.33

A child rides a bicycle from rest, reaching a velocity of 3.8 m/s [E] after 4.7 s. What is the acceleration of the bicycle?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

0.81 m/s^2

Explanation:

A child rides a bicycle from rest

The child reaches a velocity of 3.8m/s

The time is 4.7 secs

Therefore the acceleration can be calculated as follows

v= u + at

3.8= 0 + a(4.7)

3.8= 0 + 4.7a

3.8-0= 4.7a

3.8= 4.7a

a= 3.8/4.7

= 0.81 m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 0.81 m/s^2

Two 20kg spheres are placed with their
Maslowich

Answer:

F = 1.07 x 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

The gravitational force of attraction between two objects can be found by the use of Newton's Gravitational Law:

F = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}\\\\

where,

F = Gravitational Force of attraction = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

m₁ = m₂ = mass of spheres = 20 kg

r = distance between the objects = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Therefore,

F = \frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(20\ kg)(20\ kg)}{(0.5\ m)^2}\\\\

<u>F = 1.07 x 10⁻⁷ N</u>

A teacher did an experiment to show the movement of particles in solids, liquids, and gases. The experimental set-up is shown be
ELEN [110]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a solid, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial place but they can vibrate at their mean position.

Hence, in solid substances the molecules have low kinetic energy.

Whereas in liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have medium kinetic energy.

In gases, the molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. Hence, they have high kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly from one place to another leading to more number of collisions.

Hence, gases are able to expand more rapidly as compared to liquids.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options solid = low; liquid = medium; gas = high, combination of the state of matter and the corresponding dryer speed is correct.

A certain kind of glass has an index of refraction of 1.640 for blue light of wavelength 440 nm and an index of 1.595 for red li
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

0.52°

Explanation:

refractive index for blue light, nb = 1.640

Refractive index for red light, nr = 1.595

Angle of incidence, i = 30°

Let the angle of refraction for blue light is rb and the angle of refraction for red light is rR.

By use of Snell's law for blue light

n_{b}=\frac{Sin i}{Sin r_{b}}

1.64=\frac{Sin 30}{Sin r_{b}}

1.64=\frac{0.5}{Sin r_{b}}

r_{b}=17.75^{\circ}

By use of Snell's law for red light

n_{R}=\frac{Sin i}{Sin r_{R}}

1.595=\frac{Sin 30}{Sin r_{R}

1.595=\frac{0.5}{Sin r_{R}}

r_{R}=18.27^{\circ}

The angle between the two beams, \theta =r_{R}-r_{b}

θ = 18.27° - 17.75°

θ = 0.52°
