If the speed of light in a sphere is 2 × 108 m/s, its index of refraction is

1 answer:

7 0

Refractive index, n = v1/v2

Where,
v1 = Speed of light in vacuum = 3*10^8 m/s
v2 = Speed of light in a medium (sphere) = 2*10^8 m/s

Therefore,
n= (3*10*8)/(2*10^8) = 1.5

Your answer should be precise to 0.1 m/s. Use a gravitational acceleration of 10 m/s/s. At it lowest point, a pendulum is moving

saw5 [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed, v₁ = 7.7 m/s

We need to find the velocity after it has risen 1 meter above the lowest point. Let it is given by v₂. Using the conservation of energy as :

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv_1^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_2^2+mgh$

$v_2^2=v_1^2-2gh$

$v_2^2=(7.7)^2-2\times 10\times 1$

$v_2=6.26\ m/s$

So, the velocity after it has risen 1 meter above the lowest point is 6.26 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
