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

butalik [34]

The complete question is:

Study the scenario. A firework is ignited, and explodes with a flash and a loud bang as it is blown apart. The system consists of: the firework, the earth, and the air. which choice best describes how energy is transformed in the system?

A) When the firework is ignited, a chemical reaction absorbs energy from the surrounding environment. the energy is in several forms including sound and light, and mechanical energy of the fragments of the firecracker that are launched through the air. Eventually all the energy released is transformed into thermal energy.

B) When the firework is ignited, a chemical reaction releases energy in several forms, including sound, light, and the mechanical energy of the fragments being launched through the air. Eventually all the energy released is transformed into mechanical energy.

C) When the firework is ignited, a chemical reaction releases energy in several forms, including sound, light, and the mechanical energy of the fragments being launched through the air. Eventually all the energy released is transformed into thermal or mechanical energy.

D) When the firework is ignited, a chemical reaction absorbs energy from the surrounding environment. The energy is taken in in several forms including sound and light, and mechanical energy of the fragments being launched through the air. Eventually all the energy is transformed into thermal energy.

Answer:

C) When the firework is ignited, a chemical reaction releases energy in several forms, including sound, light, and the mechanical energy of the fragments being launched through the air. Eventually all the energy released is transformed into thermal or mechanical energy.

Explanation:

Energy is released from the system, not absorbed.

All the sound, light and movement of the debris is as a result of energy transformation from the chemical energy.

Eventually, most of the energy are finally wasted away as heat energy.

Some of the energy is used up by the flying particles from the fireworks.

A man travles at an average velocity of 12 m/s for 4 seconds. what is the total distance travled by the man?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
48 meters.
12 m/s and 4 seconds, so 4*12=48.

If eight water waves pass an ocean buoy each minute, and successive wave crests are 20 m apart, find the wave speed:____________
Llana [10]

Answer:

The wave speed is calculated below:

Explanation:

Given,

number of waves passed per minute = 8

time period = 1 minute = 60 s

distance between successive wave crests = 20 m

waves passing interval per second = \frac{8}{60} s^{-1}

Now,

wave speed = 20 m × \frac{8}{60} s^{-1}

                     = \frac{8}3} m/s

                     = 2.67 m/s

Hence the wave speed is 2.67 m/s.
