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

A uniform brick of length 21 m is placed over
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

15.75 m

Explanation:

First, let's look at the top brick by itself.  In order for it not to tip over the bottom brick, its center of gravity must be right at the edge of the bottom brick.  So the edge of the top brick must be 10.5 m from the edge of the bottom brick.

Now let's look at both bricks as a combined mass.  We know the total length of this combined brick is 10.5 m + 21 m = 31.5 m.  And we know that for it to not tip over the edge of the surface, its center of gravity must be at the edge.  So the edge of the combined brick must be 31.5 m / 2 = 15.75 m from the edge of the surface.

How many significant digits are in the measurement 4,032,010 m/s?
choli [55]
Since there is no decimal point in the number given above, the counting for the number of the significant figures will start from the left. Then, the first zero from the left is insignificant. Therefore, in this number there are 6 significant figures.

In a device like the one shown below, the cylinder is allowed to fall a distance of 300 m. As a result, the temperature of the w
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Increase in the temperature of water would be 0.9 degree C

Explanation:

As we know by energy conservation

Change in the gravitational potential energy of the cylinder = increase in the thermal energy of the water

Here we know that the gravitational potential energy of the cylinder is given as

U = mgh

here we have

h = 300 m

now we can say

Mc\Delta T = (m \times 9.8 \times 300)

now if the cylinder falls from height h = 100 m

then we have

Mc\Delta T' = (m \times 9.8 \times 100)

now from above two equations

\frac{\Delta T'}{\Delta T} = \frac{100}{300}

\Delta T' = 2.7 \times \frac{1}{3} = 0.9 Degree C
