Assume light is traveling through an optical medium of n1 and is incident on a boundary with a different optical medium with n2.

If the speed of light in the second medium is half the value compared to that of the first one, then one properly concludes that

That n2 = 2*n1.  That is, the index of refraction is twice as big in medium 2 since v=c/n

A 21.3 A current flows in a long, straight wire. Find the strength of the resulting magnetic field at a distance of 45.7 cm from
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

The magnetic field strength due to current flowing in the wire is9.322 x 10⁻⁶ T.

Explanation:

Given;

electric current, I = 21.3 A

distance of the magnetic field from the wire, R = 45.7 cm = 0.457 m

The strength of the resulting magnetic field at the given distance is calculated as;

B = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi R}

Where;

μ₀ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ T.m/A

B = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi R}\\\\B = \frac{4\pi*10^{-7} *21.3}{2\pi(0.457)}\\\\B = 9.322 *10^{-6} \ T

Therefore, the magnetic field strength due to current flowing in the wire is 9.322 x 10⁻⁶ T.

1. Most of the stars on the HR Diagram are classified as which type of star?
xenn [34]

Answer:

1. Main Sequence - middle life 17

2. red

3. blue

4. White dwarf stars are much hotter than Red Supergiants 15. List the color of the stars from hottest to coldest: Blue, White, Yellow, Orange, Red 16.

5. red giants

Explanation:

Main sequence stars have a Morgan-Keenan luminosity class labeled V. red giant and supergiant stars (luminosity classes I through III) occupy the region above the main sequence. They have low surface temperatures and high luminosities which, according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, means they also have large radii. White dwarf stars are much hotter than Red Supergiants 15. List the color of the stars from hottest to coldest: Blue, White, Yellow, Orange, Red 16. The hottest stars are the blue stars. A star appears blue once its surface temperature gets above 10,000 Kelvin, or so, a star will appear blue to our eyes. The lowest temperature stars are red while the hottest stars are blue. Astronomers are able to measure the temperatures of the surfaces of stars by comparing their spectra to the spectrum of a black body. Most stars, including the sun, are "main sequence stars," fueled by nuclear fusion converting hydrogen into helium. ...

As stars begin to die, they become giants and supergiants (above the main sequence).

Two 2.0-cm-diameter insulating spheres have a 6.60 cm space between them. One sphere is charged to + 76.0 nC , the other to - 30
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

5.2\times 10^5N/C

Explanation:

Since the two charged bodies are symmetric, we can calculate the electric field taking both of them as point charges.

This can be easily seen if we use Gauss's law, \int{E} \, dA=\frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}

We take a larger sphere of radius, say r, as the Gaussian surface. Then the electric field due to the charged sphere at a distance r from it's center is given by,

E=\frac{1}{4\pi r^2} \frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}

which is the same as that of a point charge.

In our problem the charges being of opposite signs, the electric field will add up. Therefore,

E_{total}=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_o}\frac{q_1+q_2}{r^2}= (9\times10^9) \frac{(76+30)\times10^{-9}}{((1+3.3)\times10^{-2})^2}N/C =5.2\times10^5N/C

where, r = distance between the center of one sphere to the midpoint (between the 2 spheres)

The field inside a charged parallel-plate capacitor is __________.
Bess [88]
<span>Uniform. A parallel plate capacitor is a simple arrangement of electrodes and dielectric to form a capacitor. Here two parallel conductive plates are used as electrodes with a medium or dielectric in between them. Charge separation in a parallel-plate capacitor causes an internal electric field, which is uniform.</span>
