Answer:

a) $1.517\times10^{-11}$ s

b) 3.41 mm

Explanation:

We take the speed of light, c = $3.0\times10^8$ m/s and the refractive index of glass as 1.517.

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

Refractive index, n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

$n=\dfrac{c}{s}$

$s=\dfrac{c}{n}$

$t=\dfrac{d}{c/n}$

$t=\dfrac{dn}{c}$

$t=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{3.0\times10^8}$

$t=1.517\times10^{-11}$

We take the refractive index of water as 1.333.

Speed in water = speed in vacuum / refractive index of water

Distance = speed * time

$d=s\times t$

$d=\dfrac{c}{n_w}\times \dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{c}$

$d=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times 1.517}{1.333}$

d = 3.41 mm

You’ve made the finals of the science Olympics. As one of your tasks you’re given 1.0 g of copper and asked to make a cylindrica

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Length = 2.92 m

Diameter = 0.11 mm

Explanation:

We have $m = dl D \ \ \& \ \ \ R = \frac{\rho l}{A}$ , where:

$l$ is the length

$m = 1.0 g = 1 \times 10^{-3} \ kg\\R = 1.3 \ \Omega\\\rho = 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m\\d = 8.96 \ g/cm^3 = 8960 kg/m^3$

We divide the first equation by the second equation to get:

$\frac{m}{R} = \frac{d A^2}{\rho}$

$A^2 = \frac{m \rho}{dR} \\\\A^2 = \frac { 1 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.7 \times 10^{-8}}{8960 \times 1.3}\\\\A^2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-15}\\\\ A= 3.8 \times 10^{-8} \ m^2$

Using this Area, we find the diameter of the wire:

$D = \sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi}}$

$D = \sqrt{\frac{4 \times 3.8 \times 10^{-8} }{\pi}}$

$D = 0.00011 \ m = 1.1 \times 10^ {-4} = 0.11 \ mm$

To find the length, we multiply the two equations stated initially:

$mR = d\rho l^2\\\\l^2 = \frac{mR}{d\rho} \\\l^2 = \frac {1.0 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.3}{8960 \times 1.7\times 10^{-8}}$

$l^2 = 8.534\\l = 2.92 \ m$

K donates, or transfers, one electron to bromine, which has 7 electrons. Both K and Br are now stable with 8 electrons. K become

Charra [1.4K]

K is cation by losing of electron whereas Br is anion due to accepting of electrons.

<h3 /><h3>Is charge appears when an atom lose or accept electron?</h3>

Yes, the positive ion appears on K and become cation whereas the negative ion bears on Br which make it anion because of losing and gaining of electron by these atoms. This transferring of electrons leads to formation of ionic bonds between them.

So we can conclude that K is cation by losing of electron whereas Br is anion due to accepting of electrons.

Photosynthesis transforms molecules of water and carbon dioxide into Molecules of?

brilliants [131]

Into molecules of sugar and oxygen.
The complete reaction of the photosynthesis is in fact:
$6CO_2+6H_2O \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$
and the energy of the light coming from the sun is also used to make the reaction possible.
