Which of the following values represents an index of refraction of an actual material?

1 answer:

3 0

Sadly, we're forced to answer the question without the benefit of the
list of choices, which, for some reason, you decided not to let us see.

Index of refraction of a substance =

(speed of light in vacuum) / (speed of light in the substance).

Any number greater than ' 1 ' can be an index of refraction. A number
less than ' 1 ' can't be . . . that would be saying that the speed of light
in this substance is greater than the speed of light in vacuum.

Sound is a type of _____ wave.

saul85 [17]

Sound is an example of a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves are the kinds of waves that cannot be propagated without a medium. As such, these waves cannot travel through a vacuum, just like how sound cannot travel through space, since space is a vacuum.

What have psychologists learned about perception from optical illusions ?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

That an optical illusion somehow interferes with the way we see things. Even simple illusions can completely fool us. If you search out the term, you'll see all kinds of them.

Most critically we see one thing and know another to be true. But knowing the truth doesn't help us. We still see and believe the truth of the illusion.

You leave on a 450 miles trip in order to attend a meeting that will start 10.8 hours after you begin your trip. Along the way y

Lorico [155]

Answer:2.6 h

Explanation:

Given

Total Trip distance=450 miles

Meeting starts after 10.8 hours

safe Fastest speed is 55 mi/h

so if he drives all the to the meeting with max speed then it takes $=\frac{450}{55}=8.181 h$

and total allowable time is 10.8

Therefore longest time he can spend over dinner is $10.8-8.181 \approx 2.6 hours$

Natalie lifts a 15-kg rock from the ground onto a 1.5 meter high wall. what is the amount of potential energy she has given the

Zina [86]

The amount of gravitational potential energy acquired by the rock is equal to:
$\Delta U = mg \Delta h$
where
m is the mass of the rock
g is the gravitational acceleration
$\Delta h$ is the increase in height of the rock

Substituting the data of the problem, we find
$\Delta U=(15 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.5 m)=220.7 J$
So, Natalie gave 220.7 J of energy to the rock.
