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

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

What conditions would have to exist in order for a space station to support life
amid [387]

Answer:

Mechanical life support system

Explanation:

Mechanical life support system is one which allows humans to survive on places or conditions which are not natural to their survival so by the help of mechanical devices humans can survive in places like underwater or in space.

The life support system may not only provide water, air and food but it should also keep a proper check on the maintenance of body pressure, temperature, management of the waste product and the absorption or the radiations from the body itself.

Thus mechanical life support system are designed with the hep of high engineering techniques for the safety and security as these are life-critical.

Can someone help me a bit on this? Will mark brainliest. ( no physical science option soooo)
Advocard [28]

Answer:

When a light wave goes through a slit, it is diffracted, which means the slit opening acts as a new source of waves. How much a light wave diffracts<em> (how much it fans out)</em> depends on the wavelength of the incident light. The wavelength must be larger than the width of the slit for the maximum diffraction. Thus, for a given slit, red light, because it has a longer wavelength, diffracts more than the blue light.

The corresponding relation for diffraction is

d sin(\theta) \approx \lambda,

where \lambda is the wavelength of light, d is the slit width, and \theta is the diffraction angle.

From this relation we clearly see that the diffraction angle \theta is directly proportional to the wavelength  \lambda of light—longer the wavelength larger the diffraction angle.

Science Seminar Question: Why did Vehicle 2 fall off the cliff in Claire's test of the collision scene but Vehicle 2 did not fal
asambeis [7]

Complete Question:

Check the file attached to get the complete question

Answer:

In the film Ice word Revenge, vehicle 2 did not fall of the cliff because, Weight_{vehicle 1} < Weight_{vehicle 2} but in Claire's test, vehicle 2 off the cliff because Weight_{vehicle 1} \geq Weight_{vehicle 2}

Explanation:

In Claire's test, the weight of vehicle 1 is either equal to or greater than the weight of vehicle 2, so it was sufficient to push it down the cliff.  In the film Ice word revenge, the weight of vehicle 1 is less than the weight of vehicle 2, it is not sufficient to make it fall off the cliff ( Note: Looking exactly the same in the movie, as Claire claimed, does not mean they have the same mass). Therefore if Claire wants a collision that will not make the vehicle 2 fall off the cliff, he should collide it with a vehicle of lesser mass/weight.
