Answer:

C. a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and without a transfer of matter

Explanation:

A wave is any disturbance that transfers energy from one location to the other via a substance called medium. It is important to note that a wave only conveys energy and not matter. For example, sound wave is a type of wave that carries sound energy from one place to another via mediums such as water, air etc.

Hence, according to this question, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and WITHOUT A TRANSFER OF MATTER.

a light ray traveling in air enters a second medium and its speed slows to 1.71 × 10^8 meters per second. what is the absolute i

givi [52]

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

Answer:

a) $\vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$ , b) $\vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$

Explanation:

a) The magnetic force experimented by a particle has the following vectorial form:

$\vec F_{B} = q\cdot \vec v \times \vec B$

The charge of the electron is equal to $-1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C$ . Then, cross product can be solved by using determinants:

$\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\-4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &-5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}$

The magnetic force is:

$\vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$

b) The charge of the proton is equal to $1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C$ . Then, cross product has the following determinant:

$\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}$

The magnetic force is:

$\vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k$
