What does a refractive index from medium 1 to medium 2 mean? Isn't one of the medium must be vacuum?

1 answer:

6 0

Refractive index is the measure of bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium into another. It is not necessary that one medium must be vaccum.

For example, the image below shows refraction, where first medium is air and second medium is water.

Represent 7468 N with SI units having an appropriate prefix. Express your answer to four significant figures and include the app

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

7.468 kN

Explanation:

Here the force is given in Newton

Some of the prefixes of the SI units are

kilo = 10³

Mega = 10⁶

Giga = 10⁹

Tera = 10¹²

The number is 7468.0

Here, the only solution where the number of significant figures is kilo. If any other prefix is chosen then the significant figures will increase.

1 kilonewton = 1000 Newton

$1\ Newton=\frac{1}{1000}\ kilonewton$

$\\\Rightarrow 7468\ Newton=\frac{7468}{1000}\ kilonewton\\ =7.468\ kilonewton$

So, 7468 N = 7.468 kN

What if m1 is initially moving at 3.4 m/s while m2 is initially at rest? (a) find the maximum spring compression in this case?

Lisa [10]

<span>Ans : Initial E = KE = Â˝mvÂ˛ = Â˝ * 1.2kg * (2.2m/s)Â˛ = 2.9 J max spring compression where both velocities are the same: conserve momentum: 1.2kg * 2.2m/s = (1.2 + 3.2)kg * v â†’ v = 0.6 m/s which means the combined KE = Â˝ * (1.2 + 3.2)kg * (0.6m/s)Â˛ = 0.79 J The remaining energy went into the spring: U = (2.9 - 0.79) J = 2.1 J = Â˝kxÂ˛ = Â˝ * 554N/m * xÂ˛ x = 0.0076 m â† (a)</span>
