A beam of light from a monochromatic laser shines into a piece of glass. The glass has thickness L and index of refraction n=1.5

. The wavelength of the laser light in vacuum is L/10 and its frequency is f In this problem, neither the constant c nor its numerical value should appear in any of your answers. (1)How long does it take for a short pulse of light to travel from one end of the glass to the other?

Answer:

15/f s

Explanation:

The refractive index n = 1.5 of the glass is n = λ₁/λ₂ where λ₁ = wavelength of monochromatic light in vacuum = L/10 and λ₂ = wavelength of monochromatic laser in glass.

So, λ₂ = λ₁/n.

We know the speed of light in glass, v = fλ₂ and λ₂ = v/f.

The light covers a distance d = L in time, t = d/v (since v = d/t)

So, the time it takes the pulse of light to travel from one end of the glass to the other is t = d/v = L/fλ₂ = L/fλ₁/n = nL/fλ₁ = nL/fL/10 = 10 × 1.5/f = 15/f s

So, the time it takes the pulse of light to travel from one end of the glass to the other is t = 15/f s

Planets orbit the Sun because _____.
amm1812

This is a poorly written question.

<span>Out of the choices listed, the first one is the only one that includes
a true statement ... the greater the mass of two objects, the greater
the gravitational attraction is between them.</span> 

-- Newton's law of universal gravitation doesn't "suggest" that.  It states it ...
boldly and unequivocally.

-- The law doesn't refer to the "greatness" of the mass of the two objects. 
It refers to the product of their masses.

-- It's true that the law of universal gravitation can be massaged and
manipulated to reveal the existence of gravitational planetary orbits.
But there's a lot more to it than simply the masses.

For example ... the gravitational force between two objects is inversely
proportional to
                           (the distance between the objects)² .

It turns out that IF that exponent were not precisely, exactly  2.000000... ,
then gravitational orbits could not exist.

According to the introduction, why are black holes invisible?

the answer is in the first paragraph :)

"Black holes are invisible because they have so much gravity that nothing escapes. Not even light can escape or bounce off."

hope this helped !
