The correct answer is

C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.

In fact, the index of refraction of a material is defined as:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material. Rearranging the equation, we can write the speed of light in the material as:

v=\frac{c}{n}

So we that, the smaller the refractive index n, the greater the speed of light in the material, v. In this problem, object B has lower refractive index than object A, so light travels faster in object B.

<span>In the question "Two objects, Object A and Object B, need to be identified. Object A's index of refraction is determined to be 1.77, and Object B's index of refraction is determined to be 1.333. Knowing this information, which of the following must be true? A. Light can pass through Object A faster than it can pass through Object B." The correct answer is "Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through object A." (option C) The refractive index is a ratio of the speed of light in a medium relative to its speed in a vacuum. The refractive index of any other medium is defined relative to the refractive index of a vacuum, which is assigned a value of 1. Thus, a refractive index of 1.33 for water means that light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than in water.</span>

Formulating a Hypothesis: Part I Since the investigative question has two variables, you need to focus on each one separately. T
Taya2010 [7]

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is said to be possessed due to the motion of the object. An object at rest will have zero kinetic energy and if it is in motion it will have some kinetic energy. The mathematical expression for kinetic energy is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times m\times v^2...........(1)

Where

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of object

It is clear form expression (1) that the kinetic energy of the object is directly proportional to the mass and velocity of an object.

So, the hypothesis for the mass and kinetic energy can be written as " when the mass of the object increases, its kinetic energy also increases because there exists a direct relationship between the mass and the kinetic energy of the object".

Describe one practical use of a concave mirror.
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Here are some uses...

Explanation:

Uses of convex mirror:

It is used in supermarkets and stores for surveillance.

It it is used as rear view mirror in automobiles.this is due to the reason that a convex mirror provides a wider field of view than a plane or concave mirror.

Uses of concave mirror:

It is used in torches.

They are used in headlights of vehicles to send parallel rays to infinity , in shaving mirror to get an enlarged image of the face and also by dentists to see a bigger image of the tooth / teeth .

A ray of yellow light (f = 5.09 × 1014hz) travels at a speed of 2.04 × 108meters per second in
denis23 [38]
Velocity = fλ

where f is frequency in Hz, and λ is wavelength in meters.

2.04 * 10⁸ m/s =  5.09 * 10¹⁴  Hz   *  λ

(2.04 * 10⁸ m/s) / (5.09 * 10¹⁴  Hz ) = λ

4.007*10⁻⁷  m =  λ

The wavelength of the yellow light = 4.007*10⁻⁷  m

Charge of uniform linear density (6.7 nC/m) is distributed along the entire x axis. Determine the magnitude of the electric fiel
ad-work [718]

Thw question is not complete. The complete question is;

Charge of uniform linear density (6.7 nCim) is distributed along the entire x axis. Determine the magnitude of the electric field on the y axis at y = 1.6 m. a. 32 N/C b. 150 NC c 75 N/C d. 49 N/C e. 63 NC

Answer:

Option C: E = 75 N/C

Explanation:

We are given;

Uniform linear density; λ = 6.7 nC/m = 6.7 × 10^(-9) C/m

Distance on the y-axis; d = 1.6 m

Now, the formula for electric field with uniform linear density is given as;

E = λ/(2•π•r•ε_o)

Where;

E is electric field

λ is uniform linear density = 6.7 × 10^(-9) C/m

r is distance = 1.6m

ε_o is a constant = 8.85 × 10^(-12) C²/N.m²

Thus;

E = (6.7 × 10^(-9))/(2π × 1.6 × 8.85 × 10^(-12))

E = 75.31 N/C ≈ 75 N/C
