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.

As far as the field goes, the two charges opposite each other cancel!
So E = kQ / d² = k * Q / (d/√2)² = 2*k*Q / d² ◄
and since k = 8.99e9N·m²/C²,
E = 1.789e10N·m²/C² * Q / d² </span>

Calculate the height of a cliff if it takes 2.35s for a rock to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff with
ad-work [718]

Answer:

y₀ = 10.625 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the kinematic relations, where the upward direction is positive.

         y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

in the exercise they indicate the initial velocity v₀ = 8 m / s.

when the rock reaches the ground its height is zero

         0 = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

        y₀i = -v₀ t + ½ g t²

let's calculate

         y₀ = - 8  2.5 + ½  9.8  2.5²

         y₀ = 10.625 m

(a) How many fringes appear between the first diffraction-envelope minima to either side of the central maximum in a double-slit
Ainat [17]

Answer:

a

The number of fringe is  z  = 3 fringes

b

The  ratio is I = 0.2545I_o

Explanation:

a

 From the question we are told that

        The wavelength is  \lambda = 600 nm

        The distance between the slit is  d = 0.117mm = 0.117 *10^{-3} m

        The width of the slit is  a = 35.7 \mu m = 35.7 *10^{-6}m

let  z be the number of fringes that appear between the first diffraction-envelope minima to either side of the central maximum in a double-slit pattern is  and this mathematically represented as

             z = \frac{d}{a}

Substituting values

             z = \frac{0.117*10^{-3}}{35.7 *10^{-6}}  

             z  = 3 fringes

b

   From the question  we are told that the order  of the bright fringe is  n = 3

   Generally the intensity of  a pattern  is mathematically represented as

                 I = I_o cos^2 [\frac{\pi d sin \theta}{\lambda} ][\frac{sin (\pi a sin \frac{\theta}{\lambda } )}{\pi a sin \frac{\theta}{\lambda} } ]

Where I_o is the intensity  of the  central fringe

 And  Generally  sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda }{d}

               I = I_o co^2 [ \frac{\pi (\frac{n \lambda}{d} )}{\lambda} ] [\frac{\frac{sin (\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} ))}{\lambda} }{\frac{\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} )}{\lambda} } ]

               I = I_o cos^2 (n \pi)[\frac{\frac{sin(\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} ))}{\lambda} )}{ \frac{ \pi a (\frac{n \lambda }{d} )}{\lambda} } ]

               I = I_o cos^2 (3 \pi) [\frac{sin (\frac{3 \pi }{6} )}{\frac{3 \pi}{6} } ]

                I = I_o (1)(0.2545)

                  I = 0.2545I_o

Define infer in science.
tia_tia [17]

Answer :Scientific Definition of Inference

In science, there are a few different types of inferences, but in general an inference is: “An educated guess made through observation.” You might use these inferences to share a potential reason why something happens or how it happens.
