Calculate the index of refraction for a medium in which the speed of light is 2.290 x 10^8 m/s?

Physics
1 answer:
yaroslaw [1]3 years ago

Answer:

The idex of refraction of the medium is 1.31.

Explanation:

the relationship between the index of refraction of a medium and the speed at which light travels is given by:

n = c/v

where n is the index of refraction, c is the speed of light and v is the speed of light in the medium.

n = c/v

  = (3×10^8)/(2.290×10^8)

  = 1.31

Therefore, the idex of refraction of the medium is 1.31.

A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 600 K and 300 K. It drives a Carnot refrigerator, which provides cooling
KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

Formula for maximum efficiency of a Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

      \frac{W}{Q_{H_{1}}} = \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}} ..... (1)

And, formula for maximum efficiency of Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

     \frac{W}{Q_{C_{2}}} = \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}} ...... (2)

Now, equating both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

 Q_{C_{2}} \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}} = Q_{H_{1}} \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}        

        \gamma = \frac{Q_{C_{2}}}{Q_{H_{1}}}

                    = \frac{T_{C_{2}}}{T_{H_{1}}} (\frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}})

                    = \frac{250}{600} (\frac{(600 - 300)K}{300 K - 250 K})

                    = 2.5

Thus, we can conclude that the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load") is 2.5.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

the correct one is the first,   the refractive index of the two materials must be the same

Explanation:

When a beam of light passes through two materials, it must comply with the law of refraction

         n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices of each medium.

In this case, it indicates that the light does not change direction, so the input and output angle of the interface must be the same,

       θ₁ = θ₂ = θ

substituting

          n₁ = n₂

therefore the refractive index of the two materials must be the same

When reviewing the answers, the correct one is the first

What is the requirement for the photoelectric effect? Select one: a. The incident light must have enough intensity b. The incide
Softa [21]

Answer:

c. The incident light must have at least as much energy as the electron work function

Explanation:

In photoelectric effect, electrons are emitted from a metal surface when a light ray or photon strikes it. An electron either absorbs one whole photon or it absorbs none. After absorbing a photon, an electron either leaves the surface of metal or dissipate its energy within the metal in such a short time  interval that it has almost no chance to absorb a second photon. An increase in intensity of light source  simply increase the number of photons and thus, the number of electrons, but the energy of electron  remains same. However, increase in frequency of light increases the energy of photons and hence, the

energy of electrons too.

Therefore, the energy of photon decides whether the electron shall be emitted or not. The minimum energy required to eject an electron from the metal surface, i.e. to overcome the  binding force of the nucleus is called ‘Work Function’

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>c. The incident light must have at least as much energy as the electron work function</u>
