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.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Inelastic

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of demand for a product or service to a unit change in price. The demand for a product is said to be elastic when a change in price has a relatively large effect on the demand for the product, unitary when there is a percentage change in price brings about an equal percentage change in the demand for the product, and inelastic when a change in the price of a product brings about a smaller change in the demand for the product.

<em>In the case of the DVD rentals, a 10% increase in price brought about only a 5% drop in demand. Hence, the demand for DVD rentals is said to be inelastic because a change in the price brought about a smaller change in the demand for DVD rentals.</em>

Resistors and reactors, for use over 600 volts, shall not be installed in close enough proximity to combustible materials to con
suter [353]

Resistors and reactors, for use over 600 volts, shall not be installed in close enough proximity to combustible materials to constitute a fire hazard and shall have a clearance of not less than<u> 300 mm </u>from combustible materials.

Explanation:

  • The hazards associated with high power industrial resistors are primarily due to their open construction, which is necessary for cooling.
  • The exposed conductors which make up the resistors can be not only a shock hazard but also a thermal burn hazard.
  • When a resistor fails, it either goes open or the resistance increases. When the resistance increases, it can burn the board, or burn itself up.
  • Avoid touching non-flammable resistors in operation; the surface temperature ranges from approximately 350 °C to 400°C when utilized at the full rated value. Maintaining a surface temperature of 200°C or less will extend resistors service life.
  • Do not apply power to a circuit while measuring resistance. When you are finished using an ohmmeter, switch it to the OFF position if one is provided and remove the leads from the meter.
  • Always adjust the ohmmeter for 0 (or in shunt ohmmeter) after you change ranges before making the resistance measurement.

How does the 3rd Newtons Law apply to kicking a soccer ball?
tigry1 [53]
If you kick a soccer ball, you exert a force on it in a certain direction.
The soccer ball will exert an equal amount of force but in the opposite direction, which is on your foot. This is felt as ‘recoil’

Calculate the magnitude of the maximum orbital angular momentum Lmax for an electron in a hydrogen atom for states with a princi
erica [24]

Answer:

L_max= 0

Explanation:

The formula for magnitude of maximum orbital angular momentum is given by

L_{max}= \sqrt{l(l+1)\bar{h}}

l= orbital quantum number

l= n-1

n= shell number or principal quantum number

for n=1 , l=0

therefore, L_{max}= \sqrt{0(0+1)\bar{h}}

L_max= 0
