The speed of light in diamond is 1.24\cdot 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

The index of refraction of a material is equal to the ratio between the speed of light in vacuum and the speed of light in the material:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where

n is the index of refraction

c is the speed of light in vacuum

v is the speed of light in the material

In this problem, we have:

n = 2.42 is the refractive index of diamond

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in vacuum

Solving for v, we find the speed of light in diamond:

v=\frac{c}{n}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{2.42}=1.24\cdot 10^8 m/s

Suppose the electrons and protons in 1g of hydrogen could be separated and placed on the earth and the moon, respectively. Compa
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The gravitational force is 3.509*10^17 times larger than the electrostatic force.

Explanation:

The Newton's law of universal gravitation and Coulombs law are:

F_{N}=G m_{1}m_{2}/r^{2}\\F_{C}=k q_{1}q_{2}/r^{2}

Where:

G= 6.674×10^−11 N · (m/kg)2

k =  8.987×10^9 N·m2/C2

We can obtain the ratio of these forces dividing them:

\frac{F_{N}}{F_{C}}=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{kq_{1}q_{2}}=0.742\times10^{-20}\frac{C^{2}}{kg^{2}}\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{q_{1}q_{2}}   --- (1)

The mass of the moon is 7.347 × 10^22 kilograms

The mass of the earth is  5.972 × 10^24 kg

And q1=q2=Na*e=(6.022*10^23)*(1.6*10^-19)C=9.635*10^4 C

Replacing these values in eq1:

\frac{F_{N}}{F_{C}}}}=0.742\times10^{-20}\frac{C^{2}}{kg^{2}}\frac{7.347\times5.972\times10^{46}kg^{2}}{(9.635\times10^{4})^{2}}

Therefore

\frac{F_{N}}{F_{C}}}}=3.509\times10^{17}

This means that the gravitational force is 3.509*10^17 times larger than the electrostatic force, when comparing the earth-moon gravitational field vs 1mol electrons - 1mol protons electrostatic field

A piece of wood has a volume of 4.6 cm to the power of 3, and a mass of 3.7 g what is the density of the wood
AysviL [449]

Density is given by:

D = M/V

D = density, M = mass, V = volume

Given values:

M = 3.7g, V = 4.6cm³

Plug in and solve for D:

D = 3.7/4.6

D = 0.80g/cm³

Coherent light of frequency 6.37×1014 Hz passes through two thin slits and falls on a screen 88.0 cm away. You observe that the
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency f= 6.37\times10^{14}\ Hz

Distance of the screen l = 88.0 cm

Position of the third order y =3.10 cm

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

where, c = speed of light

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{6.37\times10^{14}}

\lambda=471\ nm

We need to calculate the distance between the two slits

m\times \lambda=d\sin\theta

d =\dfrac{m\times\lambda}{\sin\theta}

Where, m = number of fringe

d = distance between the two slits

Here, \sin\theta =\dfrac{y}{l}

Put the value into the formula

d=\dfrac{3\times471\times10^{-9}\times88.0\times10^{-2}}{3.10\times10^{-2}}

d=40.11\times10^{-6}\ m

d = 40.11\ \mu m

Hence, The distance between the two slits is 40.11 μm.
