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
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
v = 1.97 x 10^8 m/s
Thus, the speed of light in crown glass is 1.97 x 10^8 m/s.
The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position
Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion
Answer:
The atomic mass unit is 1/12 of an atom of carbon 12, and is a very small amount to represent in kilograms:
is atomic mass unit.
This is why the benefits of the atomic mass unit is that it makes the representation of atomic masses easier in terms of the simplicity of the numbers that are used to represent the masses. Also using the atomic mass unit it is easier to compare the masses of different atoms, These numbers would be very small and would require negative powers of 10 to represent them, so it is more convenient to use the atomic mass unit.
