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

Physics

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

Which equation represents mass-energy equivalence? E = m2c E = mc2 E = (mc)2 E = mc
motikmotik

Einstein's energy mass equivalence relation say that if the whole given mass is converted to energy then it would be

E = mc^2

where

m = mass in kg

c = speed of light in m/s

this is the origination of quantum physics and by this formula we can relate the dual nature of light and particle

So correct relation above will be

E = mc^2

A box with a mass of 40 kg sits at rest on a frictionless tile floor. with your foot, you apply a 20 N force in a horizontal dir
Grace [21]

Answer:

0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

according to Newton's second law, we are goven a relationship between force, mass and acceleration, with the formula:

F = m×a

F for force

m for mass

a for acceleration

we use the given data and get:

20 = 40×a

we find a=20/40=0.5m/s²

If the speed of a wave doubles while the frequency remains the same, it means
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of a wave is describe as

velocity =Frequency × Wavelength

Mathematically

v = fλ

Hence, Frequency, F = v / λ

Wavelength λ = v/f

So, if the frequency is kept constant, wavelength of the wave becomes directly proportional to velocity of the wave.

And this implies that, as the speed double, the wavelength is double.

Why does increasing the number of trials increase confidence in the results of the experiment?
Paladinen [302]
It increases confidence because the more times you conduct the same experiment over and over should either prove your hypothesis right and wrong and eliminate any random occurrences that might affect your results.
