Which of the following statements correctly describes the index of refraction of a material? Select all that apply.

Physics
1 answer:
mote1985 [20]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Option C and D only

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect  because refractive index of a material is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a any given medium

Option B is correct as the speed of light in vacuum is always greater than the speed of light in any given medium.

Option C is correct

Option D is incorrect

Option E is incorrect because the denser the medium the more is the refractive index. Water is denser than air, hence it should have more refractive index as compared to that of air.

Decay of ______ waste present in waste water leads to unpleasant smell
victus00 [196]

Decay of Schizomycetes waste present in waste water leads to unpleasant smell.

These microorganisms, known as iron and sulfur bacteria, cause hydrogen sulfide to be found in water supplies. They include crenothrix and beggiatoa. Most often found in groundwater supplies, they produce an offensive odor of decaying matter. (I'm not sure)

When you stretch a spring 20 cm past its natural length, it exerts a force of 8
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

40 N/m

Explanation:

F = -kx (This is the Hooke's Law equation)

F is the force the spring exerts = 8 N

-k = spring constant

x = displacement (The distance stretched past it's natural length) = 20cm

x needs to be in meters, and 20 cm is = to 0.2 meters

Finally:

8N = -k (0.2m)

-k = 8N / 0.2 m

k = -40 N/m
