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.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

4.3859007196\times 10^{-9}\ m

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

v = Velocity of electron = 2.4\times 10^5\ m/s

q = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

m = Mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

r = Radius

The electrical and centripetal force will balance each other

\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{kq^2}{mv^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times (2.4\times 10^5)^2}\\\Rightarrow r=4.3859007196\times 10^{-9}\ m

The radius of the orbital is 4.3859007196\times 10^{-9}\ m

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

E. all of these

Explanation:

The designation of a point in space all the points that necessary

- reference point

- a direction

- fundamental units

- a direction

- motion

all are necessary to designate a point in space. Hence option E is correct.

For example in simple harmonic motion we need to specify all the above factors of the object in order to designate the position of the object.

Why would knowing the characteristics of circuits be important in designing electrical circuits?
blondinia [14]
The characteristic of a circuit actually indicate how the circuit functions. When one designs a circuit they have a specific function in mind and must know how to combine components in order to fulfill this functions.
