fiber-optic cable is composed of two concentric layers, called the core and the cladding, as illustrated in Figure 3-1. The core and cladding have different refractive indices, with the core having a refractive index of n1, and the cladding having a refractive index of n2. The index of refraction is a way of measuring the speed of light in a material. Light travels fastest in a vacuum. The actual speed of light in a vacuum is 300,000 kilometers per second, or 186,000 miles per second.

How fast are the earths tectonic plates moving on average
NNADVOKAT [17]

About 2 to 5 centimeters per year (1 to 2 inches per year), about the same speed that your fingernails grow. We know, then, that the outermost part of Earth consists of a series of large slabs (tectonic plates; lithospheric plates) that move slowly over the globe, powered by flow in the interior mantle

Ksju [112]

Answer:

E = 5.5 10² N /C

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

the force is electric

        F = q E

we substitute

        q E = m a

         E = \frac{m}{q} \ a               (1)

the acceleration can be found with kinematics,

        v = v₀ + a t

as the particle starts from rest v₀ = 0

        a = v / t

        a = 160 / 2.90

        a = 55.17 m / s²

 

the relationship

        q / m = 0.100 C / kg

        m / q = 10 kg / C

we use equation 1

        E = 10  55.17

        E = 551.7 N / C

        E = 5.517 10² N / C

ask for the result with two significant figures

         E = 5.5 10² N /C

A circular coil of 124 turns has a radius of 1.86 cm. (a) Calculate the current that results in a magnetic dipole moment of magn
Blababa [14]

Answer:

(a) 24.35 A

(b) 0.089 Nm

Explanation:

N = 124

R = 1.86 cm = 0.0186 m

M = 3.28 A m^2

(a)

M = N I A

3.28 = 124 x I x 3.14 x 0.0186 x 0.0186

I = 24.35 A

(b) For maximum torque, angle = 90 degree

τ = M B Sin 90

τ = 3.28 x 27.4 x 10^-3 = 0.089 Nm

1. Amplitude, loudness, volume, dynamics, and intensity are related but distinct terms. How are they different?
kupik [55]
Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder. ... The same amount of energy is spread over a greater area, so the intensity and loudness of the sound is less.
