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

Which has greater accuracy, the 10 mL graduated cylinder or the 50 mL graduated cylinder
mylen [45]
You can estimate one more digit past the smallest division on the measuring device. If you look at a 10mL graduated cylinder, for example, the smallest graduation is tenth of a milliliter (0.1mL). That means when you read the volume, you can estimate to the hundredths place (0.01mL).

A proton is moving in a circular orbit of radius 20 cm under a uniform magnetic field 0.3 t perpendicular to the velocity of the
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

v = 5.75 x 10⁶ m/s

Explanation:

The radius (r) of the circular orbit taken by a charged particle is related to its speed perpendicular to a magnetic field of strength B, and is given by

r = \frac{mv}{qB}       --------------(i)

Where,

q = charge of the particle

m = mass of the particle

Making v subject of the formula in equation (i) above gives

v = \frac{qBr}{m}  -------------------(ii)

Given;

r = 20cm = 0.2m

B = 0.3T

v = unknown

q = charge of proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = mass of the proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg

Substitute the values of m, q, B and r into equation (ii) above to get;

v = \frac{1.6 * 10^{-19} * 0.3 * 0.2} {1.67*10^{-27} }

Solving for v gives:

v = 5.75 x 10⁶ m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the proton is 5.75 x 10⁶ m/s
