The absolute refractive index is equal to the speed of light of the wave in air divided by the speed of light in the second medium. This means that it is equal to 3 x10^8 / 1.71 x10^8. This means the answer is 1.75

Absolute Index of Refraction 

                                               =  Velocity of Light in air / Velocity of light in medium

                                               =   3 * 10⁸  m/s   / 1.71 * 10⁸ m/s

                                               = 1.75

What is the magnetic force on a proton that is moving at 2.5 107 m/s to the left through a magnetic field that is 3.4 T and poin
evablogger [386]

Answer: C. 1.4 10-11 N up

Explanation:

The magnetic force, F on a charge q moving with velocity v in a magnetic field B at an angle θ is given by:

F = q v B sin θ

Charge of proton, q = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Strength of magnetic field, B = 3.4 T pointing outwards

velocity of the proton, v = 2.5 × 10⁷ m/s towards left

Magnetic force is given by:

F =  1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C× 2.5 × 10⁷ m/s ×3.4 T× sin 90 = 13.6 × 10⁻¹² N = 1.4 × 10⁻¹¹ N up

The direction of the force is given by Lorentz Right hand rule. The fingers point magnetic field, the thumb points towards velocity, then the force on the proton is given by the direction perpendicular to the palm.  

The magnetic field acts outwards with velocity of the proton towards left. The force would act perpendicular to the two -upwards.
