Answer:

c) The wavelength decreases but the frequency remains the same.

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

<u>The frequency of the light does not change but the wavelength of the light changes with change in the speed.</u>

c = frequency × Wavelength

Frequency is constant,

The formula can be written as:

n = λ / λn.

Where,  

λn is the wavelength in the medium

λ is the wavelength in vacuum

<u>When the light travels to glass, it speed slows down and also the wavelength decreases as both are directly proportional. There will be no effect on frequency.</u>

a ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 40 m/s. how high is the ball above the ground when it stops
NISA [10]

Answer:

80m, assuming g=10m/s^2

Explanation:

40m/s will be reduced to 0m/s in 4 seconds. 4 seconds x 40m/s would be 160m up, but you will only get half of that because you decelerate linearly to 0m/s. This leaves you with 4 x 20 = 80m.

Convert the speed of light 3.0x10^8 m/s to km/day
Aleksandr [31]

Answer: 2.592 \times 10^{8}km/day

1 m = 0.001 km\\ 1 s= 1.157\times10^{-5} days\\ 1 m/s = \frac {0.001}{1.157\times10^{-5}} km/day = 86.4 km/day \\ 3.0\times 10^{8} m/s = 3.0\times 10^{8} m/s \times \frac {86.4 km/day}{1m/s} =2.592 \times 10^{8}km/day
