Light traveling through air encounter a second medium which slows the light to 2.7 x 10^8. What is the index of the medium?

Physics

kozerog [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1.11

Explanation:

The index of the medium can be calculated using below formula

V= c/ n ............eqn(1)

Where V= velocity of the light is reduced to while traveling through the second medium= 2.7 x 10^8 m/s

n= index of the medium

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

Substitute for the values in eqn(1)

2.7 x 10^8 = (3 x 10^8 m/s)/ n

Making " n" subject of the formula, we have

n= (3 x 10^8 )/(2.7 x 10^8)

n= 1.11

Hence, the index of the medium is 1.11

A bus accelerates from 5.75 m/s at a rate of 1.25 m/s/s for 3.50
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

10.125 meters?

Explanation:

Im taking 5.75m/s + 1.25 m/s/s (3.5) = my answer.

In those 3.5 seconds it travels 4.375.

I added that to 5.75 to get 10.125m

The voltage<span> difference between the two plates can be expressed in terms of the </span>work<span> done on a positive test charge q when it moves from the positive to the negative plate.</span><span>
E=V/d
where V is the voltage and d is the distance between the plates.
 
So,

E=6.0V/1mm= 6000 V/m. The electric field between the plates is 6000 V/m.</span>

Consider the situation||: A child pulls a sled by a rope across the lawn at a constant speed. Of the forces listed, identify whi
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Gravitational

Tension

Normal

Friction.

Explanation:

The forces acting on the sled are:

Tension: the tension from the rope, this is the force that "moves" the sled.

Friction: kinetic friction between the sled and the ground as the sled moves.

There are another two forces that also act on the sled, but that "has no effect"

Gravitational force: This force pulls the sled down, against the floor.

Normal force: This force "opposes" to the gravitational one, so they cancel each other.

These two forces cancel each other, so they have no direct impact on the movement of the sled. BUT, the friction force depends on the weight of the moving object, and the weight of the moving object depends on the gravitational force, so we need gravitational force in order to have friction force.

Then we can conclude that the forces acting on the sled are:

Gravitational

Tension

Normal

Friction.
