The correct answer is (A). The speed of light would increase to a speed larger than the maximum speed of light in vacuum.

The index of refraction is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium.

n=C/V

here, n is the index of refraction, c the speed of light in vacuum, v is speed of light in any medium.

Now if the value of index of refraction is less than one, than the value of speed of light would be greater than the speed of light in the vacuum.

Two converging lenses are placed 30 cm apart. The focal length of the lens on the right is 20 cm while the focal length of the l
Masja [62]

Answer:

a)   I2 = 3 (o-10) / (o- 30) , b)   h ’/h=  3 (o-10) / o (o-30)

Explanation:

The builder's equation is

          1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, or e i are the distance to the object and image, respectively

As the separation between the lenses is greater than the focal distances, we must work them individually and separately. Let's start with the leftmost lens with focal length f = 15 cm

Let's calculate the position of the image of this lens

         1 / i1 = 1 / f - 1 / o

         1 / i1 = 1/15 - 1 / o

         i1 = o 15 / (o-15)

Let's calculate the distance to the image of the second lens, for this the image of the first is the distance to the object of the second

        o2 = d-i1

We write the builder equation

       1 / f2 = 1 / o2 + 1 / i2

       1 / i2 = 1 / f2 -1 / o2

       1 / i2 = 1 / f2 - 1 / (d-i1)

       1 / i2 = 1/20 - 1 / (d-i1)            (1)

Let's evaluate the last term

      d-i1 = d - 15 o / (o-15)

      d-i1 = (d (o-15) - 15 o) / (o-15)

      d- i1 = (30 or -30 15 -15 o) / (o-15)

      d-i1 = (15 or - 450) / (o- 15)

      d-i1 = = (15 or -450) / (o-15)

replace in 1

      1 / i2 = 1/20 - (or - 15) / (15 or -450)

      1 / i2 = [(15 o-450) - (o-15) 20] / (15 or -150)

      1 / i2 = (15 or - 450 - 20 or + 300) / (15 or - 150)

      1 / i2 = (-5 or -150) / (15 or -150)

      1 / i2 = (or -30) / (3 or - 30)

      I2 = 3 (o-10) / (o- 30)

Part B

The height of the image, we use the magnification equation

     m = h ’/ h = - i / o

     h ’= - h i / o

In our case

     h ’= h i2 / o

     h ’= h 3 (o-10) / o (o-30)

If they give the distance to the object it is easier

parallel-plate air capacitor is made from two plates 0.070 m square, spaced 6.3 mm apart. What must the potential difference bet
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

V = 576 V

Explanation:

Given:

- The area of the two plates A = 0.070 m^2

- The space between the two plates d = 6.3 mm

- Te energy density u = 0.037 J /m^3

Find:

- What must the potential difference between the plates V?

Solution:

- The energy density of the capacitor with capacitance C and potential difference V is given as:

                               u = 0.5*ε*E^2

- Where the Electric field strength E between capacitor plates is given by:

                               E = V / d

Hence,

                               u = 0.5*ε*(V/d)^2

Where, ε = 8.854 * 10^-12

                               V^2 = 2*u*d^2 / ε

                               V = d*sqrt ( 2*u / ε )

Plug in values:

                               V = 0.0063*sqrt ( 2 * 0.037 / (8.854 * 10^-12) )

                               V = 576 V
