If the index of refraction of a medium is 1.4, determine the speed of light in that medium.
Damm [24]

The speed of light in that medium is 2.14 \times 10^8 \ m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is known that the light's speed is constant when it travels in vacuum and the value is 3 \times 108 m/s. When the light enters another medium other than vacuum, its speed get decreased as the light gets refracted by an angle.

The amount of refraction can be determined by the index of refraction or refractive index of the medium. The refraction index is measured as the ratios of speed of light in vacuum to that in the medium. It is represented as  η = \frac {c}{v}

So, here η is the index of refraction of a medium which is given as 1.4, c is the light's speed in vacuum (3 \times 10^8 ms^-^1) and v is the light's speed in that medium which we need to find.

1.4=  \frac{(3 \times 10 ^ 8)} {v}

v=  \frac {(3 \times 10^8)}{1.4} =2.14 \times 10^8 \ m/s

Thus the speed of light in that medium is 2.14 \times 10^8 \ m/s.

Equal and opposite forces that act on the same object are called
inessss [21]

Answer:Balance Forces

Explanation:

Balanced Forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction that acts on the same body. Whenever balanced forces act on an object the object is either still or moving in the same direction with constant velocity.

example of Balanced Forces are

  • Consider a block lying on the ground and is being pulled by two forces of equal magnitude but in acting in the opposite direction. As a result, the block is at rest.

The outside edge of a spinning compact disc is moving at a higher velocity than an inside track on the disc.
Serjik [45]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The outside edge of a spinning compact disc moves with a higher velocity than the inner track of the disc.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Here the compact disc undergoes rotational motion about a fixed axis which is its centre in this case. The particles in rotational motion have angular velocity which is given by the equation

ω = ∅/t

Where  θ is the angular displacement and t is the time.

The transnational speed of a particle which is in circular motion is given by the equation

v = rω

r is the distance of the point from the rotation centre

The transnational speed of the particles is merely determined by their distance from the centre in this case. It is due to the equality of angular velocity of all the points.

The distance of the outer edge of the compact disc from its rotational centre  is larger than  the distance of inner edge from the rotational centre. Thus the farther edge of a spinning disc moves faster than the nearer edge.
