No, just the opposite.

Think of refractive index as an enemy of light. The bad guy, the villain, the outlaw. It pushes against light and makes light slow down. BAAAD REFRACTIVE INDEX !

The bigger the refractive index is, the more it's able to slow light down.

Answer:The lower the refractive index, the faster the velocity of light. Medium A has the smaller refractive index. Light will travel faster through medium A at a velocity equal to the speed of light divided by the refractive index.

An electric train moving at 5m/s accelerates to a speed of 8m/s in 20 seconds. Fine the distance travelled in meters during the
adelina 88 [10]
<h3>Answer:  130 meters</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

vi = 5 and vf = 8 are the initial and final velocities respectively. The change in time is t = 20 seconds.

So,

x = 0.5*(vi + vf)*t

x = 0.5*(5+8)*20

x = 130 meters

represents the distance traveled. The first equation shown above is one of the four kinematics equations.

It has been suggested that a heat engine could be developed that made use of the fact that the temperature several hundred meter
lesantik [10]

Answer:

efficiency = 5.4%

Explanation:

Efficiency of heat engine is given as

\eta = \frac{W}{Q_{in}}

now we will have

W = Q_1 - Q_2

so we will have

\eta = 1 - \frac{Q_2}{Q_1}

now we know that

\frac{Q_2}{Q_1} = \frac{T_2}{T_1}

so we have

\eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1}

\eta = 1 - \frac{273+6}{273+22}

\eta = 0.054

so efficiency is 5.4%
