If a material has an index of refraction of 1.61, Determine the speed of light through this medium

Physics
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1.86 x 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

n = 1.61

The formula for the refractive index is given by

n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in material

n = c / v

v = c / n

v = (3 x 10^8) / 1.61

v = 1.86 x 10^8 m/s

What is the volume of an object that has a density of 65g/cm3 and a mass of 130g.
lora16 [44]

Density <em>ρ</em> is mass <em>m</em> per unit volume <em>v</em>, or

<em>ρ</em> = <em>m</em> / <em>v</em>

Solving for <em>v</em> gives

<em>v</em> = <em>m</em> / <em>ρ</em>

So the given object has a volume of

<em>v</em> = (130 g) / (65 g/cm³) = 2 cm³

A velocity selector in a mass spectrometer uses an electric field of 4.4 x 105 V/m. What magnetic field strength (in Tesla) is n
Brut [27]

Answer:

  B = 9.16 10⁻²  T

Explanation:

The speed selector is a configuration where the electric and magnetic force has the opposite direction, which for a specific speed cancel

       q v B = q E

       v = E / B

       B = E / v

Let's calculate

      B = 4.4 10⁵ / 4.8 10⁶

      B = 9.16 10⁻²  T
