What value relates the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a given material? A) angle of incidence B) angle of r
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

C) Index of refraction

Explanation:

Index of refraction also known as refractive index is defined as speed of light in a vacuum divided by the speed of light in a given material.

The formula for Index of refraction is:

n = c ÷ v

where n represents Index of refraction,

c represents speed of light in a vacuum,

v represents speed of light in a given material.

The speed and direction of light changes when it moves from one medium to another. The change in direction is basically called refraction.

The speed of light in vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 m/s. A beam of light has a wavelength of 651 nm in vacuum. This light propag
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

v=2.58\times10^8m/s

Explanation:

The index of refraction is equal to the speed of light c in vacuum divided by its speed v in a substance, or n=\frac{c}{v}. For our case we want to use v=\frac{c}{n}, which for our values is equal to:

v=\frac{c}{n}=\frac{299792458m/s}{1.16}=258441774.138m/s

Which we will express with 3 significant figures (since a product or quotient must contain the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the  <em>least</em> number of significant figures):

v=2.58\times10^8m/s

If a rock climber accidentally drops a 52.5-g piton from a height of 325 meters, what would its speed be just before striking th
alex41 [277]
Ignoring air resistance, the Kinetic energy before hitting the ground will be equal to the potential energy of the Piton at the top of the rock.  
So we have 1/2 MV^2 = MGH 
V^2 = 2GH 
V = âš2GH 
V = âš( 2 * 9.8 * 325)  
V = âš 6370
 V = 79.81 m/s

A sliver cylindrical rod has a length of 0.5 m and a radius of 0.4 m, find the density of the rod if it's mass is 2.640 kg
Serga [27]

Answer:

Density=10.50kg/m³

Explanation:

Solution,\\Height(h)=0.5m\\Radius(r)=0.4m\\Now, \\Volume=\pi r^{2} h\\\\Volume=\pi *(0.4m)^{2} *0.5m\\\\Volume=0.251327m^{3} \\\\Again,\\\\Density=\frac{mass}{volume} \\\\Density=\frac{2.640kg}{0.251327} \\\\Density=10.50kg/m^{3}
