. A laser beam shines along the surface of a block of transparent material (see Fig. E33.8). Half of the beam goes straight to a

detector, while the other half travels through the block and then hits the detector. The time delay between the arrival of the two light beams at the detector is 6.25 ns. What is the index of refraction of this material

Answer:

n = 1,875

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is constant (c) and in a material medium it is

          v = d / t

The refractive index of a material is defined by

         n = c / v

         

Let's look for the speed of light in the material, in general the length that light travels is known, this value is high, x = 1, when we place a block on the road, a small amount is lengthened by the length of the block, which in general is despised

These measurements are made on a digital oscilloscope that allows to stop the signals and measure their differences, that is, the zero is taken when the first ray arrives and the time for the second ray is measured,

         

         v = d / t

         v = 1 / 6.25 10⁻⁹

         v = 1.6 10⁸ m / s

we calculate the refractive index

        n = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁸

        n = 1,875

Why does the entropy of a gas increase when it expands into a vacuum? Why does the entropy of a gas increase when it expands int
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The entropy of a gas increases when it expands into a vacuum because the number of possible states increases .

Explanation:

When a gas expand in a vacuum, the molecules of the gases vibrates very fast and starting moving with higher velocity in random directions which means the level of disorder in the gases increases.

Now the possible state of the gas molecule increases such as the particle can be located at different position due to increased randomness.

<u>Entropy is the measure of this randomness and thus with this increased randomness entropy also increases.</u>

The water cycle was described in the Scriptures long before modern scientists understood it.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Low humidity is typically associated with cold temperatures since cold air holds less water compared to warm air. While it is possible for indoor humidity to be as low as 10%, most people generally find humidity levels of about 40 to 45 percent comfortable.

A tiger started running when it saw a deer running at uniform velocity 2m/s at 15m far from it ..if the tiger ran at acceleratio
Masteriza [31]
You need to set their position functions equal to one another and so for the time t when that is true. That is when the tiger and the deer are in the same place meaning the tiger catches the dear
Xdear= 2t+15 deer position function.
(I integrated the velocity function )
To get the Tigers position function you must integrate the acceleration twice. This becomes
Xtiger=t^2
Now t^2=2t+15
Time t is when the tiger catches the deer
t^2-2t-15=0
(t-5)(t+3)=0 factored
t=5s is the answer you use (t=-3 is a meaningless solution)
