Answer:D.Refractive Indez

Explanation:

It is usually expressed the other way: the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. In that case, it is called the "index of refraction".

You're going for "refractive index", but you've got the ratio flipped over.

A 71 kW radio station broadcasts its signal uniformly in all directions. - What is the average intensity of its signal at a dist
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy of signal being radiated per second on all sides = 71 x 10³ J .

At a distance of 220 m it is spread over an area of 4 π x (220)² because it is spreading uniformly on all sides.

So energy crossing per unit area

= \frac{71\times10^3}{4 \times \pi\times(220)^2}

= 11.67 x 10⁻² Wm⁻²s⁻¹.

This is the intensity of the signal.

At 2200 m this intensity will further reduce by 100 times

So there it becomes equal to

11.67 x 10⁻⁴ Wm⁻² s⁻¹.

Briefly explain the two postulates of relativity, how they differed from classical physics, and why Einstein was led to propose
Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

The two postulates of special theory of relativity

Postulate 1: The law of physics are invariant under any of inertial frame of reference.

Postulate 2: The velocity of light is remains same in each ans every frame of reference and independent of relativity.

They are differ from classical mechanics that in classical mechanics there is no change in mass and length in relative velocity but in relativistic mechanics it changes.

These two postulates implements in phenomenon like time dilation , length contraction etc.

Thanks

Given parameters:

Mass of the body  = 200g

Force on the body  = 10N

Unknown parameters:

Acceleration produced by the force  = ?

To solve this problem we must first define force in terms of mass and acceleration. This is possible due to the Newton's first law of motion.

  Force  = mass x acceleration

Here the unknown is acceleration and we can easily solve for it.

But we must take the mass to kilogram in order for it to cancel out.

        1000g  = 1 kg

        200g  = x kg =   \frac{200}{1000}   = 0.2kg

Now input the parameters and solve;

         10  = 0.2 x acceleration

   Acceleration  = \frac{10}{0.2}   = 50m/s²

The acceleration produced by the body is 50m/s²

n ultraviolet light beam having a wavelength of 130 nm is incident on a molybdenum surface with a work function of 4.2 eV. How f
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The speed of the electron is 1.371 x 10⁶ m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the ultraviolet light beam, λ = 130 nm = 130 x 10⁻⁹ m

the work function of the molybdenum surface, W₀ = 4.2 eV = 6.728 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy of the incident light is given by;

E = hf

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s

f = c / λ

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \\\\E = \frac{6.626*10^{-34} *3*10^{8}}{130*10^{-9}} \\\\E = 15.291*10^{-19} \ J

Photo electric effect equation is given by;

E = W₀ + K.E

Where;

K.E is the kinetic energy of the emitted electron

K.E = E - W₀

K.E = 15.291 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 6.728 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

K.E = 8.563 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Kinetic energy of the emitted electron is given by;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

m is mass of the electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v is the speed of the electron

v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} } \\\\v =  \sqrt{\frac{2*8.563*10^{-19}}{9.11*10^{-31}}}\\\\v = 1.371 *10^{6} \ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the electron is 1.371 x 10⁶ m/s.
