Physics
1 answer:
lesantik [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: n = c / v" "c" is the speed of light in a vacuum, "v" is the speed of light in that substance and "n" is the index of refraction. According to the formula, the index of refraction is the relation between the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.

Explanation: the relation is the vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.

What is one advantage of using electromagnets instead of permanent magnets
zimovet [89]
The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.

The most necessary condition to build a glacier is: <span>More snow must fall in the winter than melts in the summer.
</span><span>when More snow fall in the winter than it melts in the summer, the snow will start to accumulate on the top of the higher terrain. This accumulation will form an abundant amount of snow on higher terrain, which will fall as glacier as soon as its temperature drop.</span>

Light of wavelength 600nm illuminates a diffraction grating. The second-order maximum is at angle 39°. How many lines per millim
fomenos

Answer:

the number of lines is 526

Explanation:

The wavelength  λ =600nm = 600 × 10⁻⁶ mm

The diffraction angle θ = 39°

Recall the expression for the relation between the wavelength, angle and central maxima distance.

Recall the expression for the relation between the wavelength, angle and central maxima distance.

Recall the expression for the relation between the wavelength, angle and central maxima distance.

relation between the wave length, angle and central maxima distance

d =  nλ / sinθ

Here n = 2 for second order maxima and d is the distance

= 2(600 × 10⁻⁶) / sin 39°

= 1200 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.6293

= 1.9 × 10⁻³ mm

N = 1/d

= 1 / 1.9 × 10⁻³

= 526

The grating has a line density of 526 lines per millimeter
