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

satela [25.4K]

<span>If the swimmer is swimming perpendicular to the current, it will take her 66m / 0.42 m/s = 157.14 seconds to cross the river. At the same time, the current will be taking her downstream at a rate of 0.32 m/s. So, when she reaches the opposite bank, her total downstream distance traveled will have been 0.32*157.14 = 50.28 meters.</span>

A lightning bolt transfers 6.0 coulombs of charge from a cloud to the ground in 2.0 x 10-3 second. what is the average current d

AlladinOne [14]

The current is defined as the amount of charge transferred through a certain point in a certain time interval:
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}$
where
I is the current
Q is the charge
$\Delta t$ is the time interval

For the lightning bolt in our problem, Q=6.0 C and $\Delta t= 2.0 \cdot 10^{-3}s$ , so the average current during the event is
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{6.0 C}{2.0 \cdot 10^{-3} s}=3000 A$
