What is speed of light in crown glass?

Physics
1 answer:
german3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1.97 x 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

refractive index of crown glass with respect to air, n = 1.52

speed of light in air, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

Let v be the speed of light in crown glass.

By use of the definition of refractive index

n = \frac{c}{v}

where, n be the refractive index of crown glass, c be the speed of light in vacuum and v be the speed of light in crown glass

1.52 = \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{v}

v = \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{1.52}

v = 1.97 x 10^8 m/s

Thus, the speed of light in crown glass is 1.97 x 10^8 m/s.

If a satellite weighs 321 lb. on the earth's surface (R = 4,000 miles), how much does it weigh 12,000 miles above the surface? (
Sever21 [200]

The gravitational force between the Earth and the satellite (its "weight") is inversely proportional to the distance between the centers of both objects.

On the surface, their centers are separated by 1 Earth radius.

12,000 miles above the surface, they're separated by 4 Earth radiii.

(4/1) = 4

So after the move, the satellite's weight is (1/4²) = 1/16 of its surface weight.

(321 lb) / (16) = (20 and a hair) lb

The correct choice from the given list is " <em>>20 lb "</em> .
