A light beam is directed parallel to the axis of a hollow cylindrical tube. When the tube contains only air, the light takes 8.7

2 ns to travel the length of the tube, but when the tube is filled with a transparent jelly, the light takes 1.82 ns longer to travel its length. What is the refractive index of this jelly?

Answer:

1.208

Explanation:

L = Length of tube

c = Speed of light in air

v = Speed of light in jelly

Time taken by light in tube

\dfrac{L}{c}=8.72

Time taken when jelly is present

\dfrac{L}{v}=8.72+1.82\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{L}{v}=10.54\ ns

Dividing the above equations we get

\dfrac{v}{c}=\dfrac{8.72}{10.54}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{c}{v}=\dfrac{10.54}{8.72}\\\Rightarrow n=1.208

The refractive index of the jelly is 1.208

What is the radius of the event horizon of a 10 solar mass black hole?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The number take for the "radius" is normally taken to be the radius from the center to the event horizon, since nothing inside that can be observed, and since it is a point of no return. This radius is directly proportional to the mass of the black hole. From the Wikipedia article on event horizon: "For the mass of the Sun this radius is approximately 3 kilometers and for the Earth it is about 9 millimeters. In practice, however, neither the Earth nor the Sun has the necessary mass and therefore the necessary gravitational force, to overcome electron and neutron degeneracy pressure." The last sentence means that it is unlikely for the Sun to become a black hole, since it has too little mass to become one.

Which is an example of an electric force that occurs in atoms?
adoni [48]
The electric charge or electric force that exists inside of an atom occurs as a result of the protons and electrons that exist within the atom. Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge. These electrons and protons exert a force on any other particle with a charge creating electric force within the atom.

balu736 [363]

Answer:

Explanation:

The full definition of a computer is

A computer is a machine(electronic device) that can be programmed to accept data (input), process it into useful information (output), and store it away (in a secondary storage device) for safekeeping or later reuse.

It is not necessary that a computer have network capacity, as far as it can process data into information, accept input and store results.

The correct option is A
