We are given with
distance traveled through vacuum = 1.0 m
refractive index of water = 1.33
refractive index of glass = 1.50
refractive index of diamond = 2.42

distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.33 = 0.75 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.50 = 0.67 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/2.42 = 0.41 m

Answer:

distance travelled in water = 1 / 1.33 = 0.75 m

distance travelled in glass = 1/ 1.5 = 0.66 m

distance travelled in diamond = 1/ 2.42 = 0.41 m

Explanation:

velocity of light in water, glass and diamond will be 1/1.33 , 1/1.5 and 1/2.42 times respectively of that in vacuum. So distance travelled in these mediums will be less.

what is a hypothesis reffered to as after being verified by a large number or independent experiments
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The hypothesis may or may not be true and needs to be tested. It might be the answer to the problem. Hence, it must be tested thoroughly. When these predictions are tested again and again in independent scientific experiments and gets verified, the hypothesis is converted into a scientific theory.

A student drops a ball off the top of building and records that the ball takes 3.32s to reach the ground (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What i
slega [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here's what we know because it was given to us:

a = -9.8 m/s/s and

time = 3.32 seconds

Here's what we know because we rock physics:

v₀ = 0 (because the object was held still before it was dropped).

Here's the equation that ties all that info together in a single one-dimensional equation:

v = v₀ + at

Filling in and solving for v:

v = 0 + (-9.8)(3.32) and

v = -33m/s

The velocity is negative because the object is moving downwards and up is positive (but you knew that already too!)

The energy consumed by a home during a month is 90 kWh, how many Joules are we talking about? a good explanation please is for t
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

3.24×10⁸ J, or 324 MJ

Explanation:

"kWh" is a kilowatt-hour.  It's the energy used by 1 kilowatt of power after one hour.

A kilowatt is a kilojoule per second.

90 kWh

= 90 kW × 1 hr

= 90 kJ/s × 1 hr

= 90 kJ/s × 3600 s

= 324,000 kJ

= 324,000,000 J

The energy is 3.24×10⁸ J, or 324 megajoules.
