With what speed would an electromagnetic wave move through a material with an index of refraction of 1.85?

Physics

5 0

The speed of electromagnetic wave in the material would be 1.162* 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

We know that electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum with the speed of the light i.e. 3*10⁸ m/s

Refractive index or index of refraction refers to the ratio of the speed of light/wave in vacuum to speed of the light/wave in a medium.

RI= speed of wave in vacuum (c) /speed of the wave in medium (v)

RI= c/v

v=c/RI

Substituting the values of RI as 1.85 and speed of wave in vacuum as 3*10⁸  m/s

v (speed of the wave in medium/material) = 3*10⁸ /1.85= 1.162 *10⁸ m/s

A snowball is launched horizontally from the top of a building at v = 19.6 m/s. If it lands d = 64 meters from the bottom, how h
tiny-mole [99]

Answer: height of building = 18.8m

Explanation: The question is a projectile motion, a two dimensional motion with a vertical constant acceleration (g = - 9.8m/s²) and a constant horizontal velocity (thus making horizontal component of acceleration zero).

From the question, distance between bottom of building and where the object lands = 64m, initial velocity for throwing the object = 19.6m/s

The horizontal range formulae is given as

d= vt

Where d= horizontal range = 64m, v = initial velocity of throw.

64 = 19.6 × t

t = 64/ 19.6

t = 3.265 s.

Height (h) of the building is gotten by using the formulae

h =vt - 1/2gt²

h = (19.6×3.265) - 1/2×9.8×(3.265)²

h = 71.05 - (104.47/2)

h = 71.05 - 52.235

h = 18.8m

Could a car drive on a frictionless surface? Explain using the terms action
Julli [10]

Answer:

No, it cannot. The car needs the friction of the surface to drive because the car pushes the surface backwards, and the surfaces makes a reaction force pushing the car forward, and that works because of the friction. In a frictionless surface the tires would rotate in the same place

In some cases, neither of the two equations in the system will contain a variable with a coefficient of 1, so we must take a fur
Margaret [11]

Answer:

D = -4/7 = - 0.57

C = 17/7 = 2.43

Explanation:

We have the following two equations:

3C + 4D = 5\ --------------- eqn (1)\\2C + 5D = 2\ --------------- eqn (2)

First, we isolate C from equation (2):

2C + 5D = 2\\2C = 2 - 5D\\C = \frac{2 - 5D}{2}\ -------------- eqn(3)

using this value of C from equation (3) in equation (1):

3(\frac{2-5D}{2}) + 4D = 5\\\\\frac{6-15D}{2} + 4D = 5\\\\\frac{6-15D+8D}{2} = 5\\\\6-7D = (5)(2)\\7D = 6-10\\\\D = -\frac{4}{7}

<u>D = - 0.57</u>

Put this value in equation (3), we get:

C = \frac{2-(5)(\frac{-4}{7} )}{2}\\\\C = \frac{\frac{14+20}{7}}{2}\\\\C = \frac{34}{(7)(2)}\\\\C =  \frac{17}{7}\\

<u>C = 2.43</u>
