Light travels through a liquid at 2.25e8 m/s. What is the index of refraction of the liquid?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The index of refraction of light in a medium ( n ) determines the degree of "bending" of light in that medium.

- The index of refraction is material property and proportional to density of the material.

- The denser the material the slower the light will move through associated with considerable diffraction angles.

- The lighter the material the faster the light pass through the material without being diffracted as much.

- So, in the other words index of refraction can be expressed as how fast or slow light passes through a medium.

- The reference of comparison of how fast or slow the light is the value of c = 3.0*10^8 m/s i.e speed of light in vacuum or also assumed to be the case for air.

- so we can mathematically express the index of refraction as a ratio of light speed in the material specified and speed of light.

- The light passes through a liquid with speed v = 2.25*10^8 m/s :

                         n = c / v\\\\n = \frac{ 3*10^8 }{2.25*10^8} \\\\n = 1.33

- The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water.

Which of Earth's spheres have the greatest impact from the forest fire?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
I would say the atmosphere because air and oxygen are essential for human life however it is debatable. You should check out this prezi and judge for yourself which sphere is effected the most from forest fires based on the descriptions on how a forest fire effects all four spheres.

A light ray in air enters and passes through a block of glass. What can be stated with regard to its speed after it emerges from
Furkat [3]

A light ray in air enters and passes through a block of glass , the speed will remain same after it emerges from the block

When a light ray enters into the glass then the speed of the light will get decreased because as a light ray enters into a denser medium , the speed of light get decreased . But when the light ray emerges out from glass , it going from denser to rarer medium , due to which speed will increase and come to same value as it was while entering the glass .

mylen [45]

When the light falls on a soap bubble spread on a water puddle, and a spectrum of color is observed due to constructive and destructive of light waves which means option (3) is correct. Light waves interfere into each other to produce a spectrum which consists of bright and dark fringes.
