Does light travels faster in a material with a higher index of refraction

Physics

Oliga [24]3 years ago

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.

Explanation:

THere ya go ! :)

How can we predict how high a roller coaster can go knowing its velocity?
KatRina [158]
“to predict the speed that a coaster will reach before it is ever placed on the track. ... When coaster goes up by height h then its gravitational potential energy increases by the amount m.g.h where m = mass of coaster, h = height of coaster and g = gravitational acceleration due to Earth”

A hydraulic machine can be used to lift extremely heavy objects. Why is the fluid in the hydraulic machine a liquid rather than
Sauron [17]
Hi,

The force that acts on hydraulic machine is heavy therefore the content must be something that cannot be compressed by that kind of force, the gas can easily be compressed while a liquid is nearly impossible to.

A truck initially traveling at a speed of 22 m/s increases at a constant rate of 2.4 m/s^2 for 3.2s. What is the total distance
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

82.7 m

Explanation:

u= 22m/s

a= 2.4 m/s^2.

t= 3.2 secs

Therefore the distance travelled can be calculated as follows

S= ut + 1/2at^2

= 22 × 3.2 + 1/2 × 2.4 × 3.2^2

= 70.4 + 1/2×24.58

= 70.4 + 12.29

= 82.7 m

Hence the distance travelled by the truck is 82.7 m

Calculate the work efecttuated, when the force is 300 N, and the distance is 300 meters.
Alexxx [7]

Hello!

Use the formula:

W = Fd

Replacing:

W = 300 N * 300 m

Resolving:

W = 90000 J

The work is <u>90000 Joules.</u>
