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

Frame S' passes frame S in the usual way (positive directions). An object also moves in the positive direction. Which is true? T
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The answer is "The object's speed relative to S can be greater than or less than its speed relative to S', depending on the actual values."

Explanation:

The S' frame and the object are moving in a positive direction. The object is moving with respect to the S frame so the S frame the rest frame

take the velocity of the object with respect to the rest frame as v and the velocity of the S' frame with respect S frame as v2

relative velocity of the object to the S' frame would be

Vrel = v2- v

This means the Vrel of the object with respect to the S' frame is less than the Vrel  of the object with respect to the S frame

However is the S' velocity is greater than that of the object then the Vrel of the object with respect to the S' frame is greater than the Vrel of the object with respect to the S frame.

This would mean the second option is the answer, the relative speed of the object depends on the actual values.

What kind of light results when the total spectrum of refracted light is recombined? violet green white red?
ElenaW [278]
Hello
The final light will be white. In fact, each color of the visible spectrum is an electromagnetic wave with its own specific frequency and wavelength. White, instead, does not have a specific frequency: it is the sum of all the different wavelengths of the visible spectrum. Therefore, when recombining the spectrum of the refracted light all the different frequencies recombine together, and their sum gives white light.
