Find the speed of light in each of the following materials. (a) gallium phosphide m/s (b) carbon disulfide m/s (c) benzene

Physics
1 answer:
Oksanka [162]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

We need to calculate the speed of light in each materials

(I). Gallium phosphide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 3.50

Using formula of speed of light

v=\dfrac{c}{\mu}....(I)

Where, \mu = index of refraction

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{3.50}

v=8.6\times10^{7}\ m/s

(II) Carbon disulfide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.63

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.63}

v=1.8\times10^{8}\ m/s

(III). Benzene,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.50

Put the value in the equation (I)

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.50}

v=2\times10^{8}\ m/s

Hence, This is the required solution.

Based on their colors, which of the following stars is hottest? Which is coolest? Archenar (blue), Betelgeuse (red), Capella (ye
Cloud [144]

Answer: The hottest star is Archenar( blue) and the coolest star is Betelgeuse

Explanation:

Objects emit radiation that depends exclusively on their temperature. At an ambient temperature, the radiation emitted by an object is in the infrared spectrum (we could only see it with a special camera). If we heat it we will see that it first turns red (whose state we call “red hot”) because it is the lowest and least energetic wavelength of all.

If we continue to heat it, the wavelength that it emits to one with more energy will continue to increase and we will see that it turns yellow and then white. This is a signal that is emitting at all frequencies (but mainly in blue).

If we continue to warm a body that is "white hot", it would emit in the ultraviolet spectrum, with what would become ... black! then we would not see it emits light in the visible spectrum (well, we would see a very faint bluish light corresponding to the tail of the distribution of the spectrum it emits, but the peak of that spectrum would be in the ultraviolet).

Energy that cannot be used to do useful work is referred to as Select one: a. potential energy. b. entropy. c. kinetic energy. d
topjm [15]

In thermodynamics, entropy (symbolized as S) is a physical magnitude for a thermodynamic system in equilibrium. It measures the number of microstates compatible with the equilibrium macrostate, it can also be said that it is the reason for an increase between internal energy versus an increase in system temperature.

The universe tends to distribute energy evenly; that is, to maximize entropy. Intuitively, entropy is a physical quantity that, by calculation, allows us to determine the part of energy per unit of temperature that cannot be used to produce work.

Therefore the correct answer is B.
