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.

To see how two traveling waves of the same frequency create a standing wave.
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: The wave is traveling in the - x direction.

Explanation: The parameter in a wave function determines the direction of the wave is "ωt"

Where ω = angular frequency(in hertz ) and t = time taken (in seconds)

The product of ωt = 2π which is angular displacement in radian.

A negative value of the of ωt means the wave is traveling in the negative direction.

Also a positive value of sin ωt means the wave is traveling in the positive direction

The micrometer (1 μm) is often called the micron. (a) How many microns make up 3.0 km? (b) How many centimeters equal 3.0 μm? (c
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

3 x 10⁻⁹km

3 x 10⁻⁴cm

2.73 x 10⁶μm

Explanation:

 A micron is a subunit of measurement usually for length dimensions.

                     1μm   = 1 x 10⁻⁶m

a. How many microns make up 3km;

         Now convert to meter first;

                 1000m  = 1km

           So, 3km will be made up of 3000m

So;

          1 x 10⁻⁶m    =     1μm  

         3000m  =   \frac{3000}{1 x 10^{-6} }   = \frac{3  x 10^{3} }{ 1  x  10^{-6} }   = 3 x 10⁻⁹km

b.  How many centimeters equal 3.0 μm?

            Since;

                        1μm   = 1 x 10⁻⁶m

                         3μm  = 3 x 1 x 10⁻⁶  = 3 x 10⁻⁶m

So;

            100cm  = 1m;

                  1m  = 100cm

             3 x 10⁻⁶m  = 3 x 10⁻⁶  x 10²   = 3 x 10⁻⁴cm

c. How many microns are in 3.0 yd?  

              1yd  = 0.91m

              3yd  = 3 x 0.91  = 2.73m

So;

            1 x 10⁻⁶m    =     1μm  

              2.73m will give \frac{2.73}{1 x 10^{-6} }   = 2.73 x 10⁶μm

An object of mass 30 kg is in free fall in a vacuum where there is no air resistance. Determine the acceleration of the object.
velikii [3]

Answer:

In free fall, mass is not relevant and there's no air resistance, so the acceleration the object is experimenting will be equal to the gravity exerted. If the object is falling on our planet, the value of gravity is approximately 9.81ms2 .
