It is 10^4 times the intensity at 0 db
Answer:
1.11
Explanation:
The index of the medium can be calculated using below formula
V= c/ n ............eqn(1)
Where V= velocity of the light is reduced to while traveling through the second medium= 2.7 x 10^8 m/s
n= index of the medium
c= speed of light= 3 x 10^8 m/s
Substitute for the values in eqn(1)
2.7 x 10^8 = (3 x 10^8 m/s)/ n
Making " n" subject of the formula, we have
n= (3 x 10^8 )/(2.7 x 10^8)
n= 1.11
Hence, the index of the medium is 1.11
Black-spotted skin coat as camouflage while stalking prey.
Survival = avoiding predators or capturing prey successfully
We can use the kinematic equation

where Vf is what we are looking for
Vi is 0 since we start from rest
a is acceleration
and d is the distance
we get
(Vf)^2 = (0)^2 + 2*(2)*(500)
(Vf)^2 = 2000
Vf = about 44.721
or 44.7 m/s [if you are rounding this by significant figures]
