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

Physics
1 answer:
mote1985 [20]2 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.

A new landowner has a triangular piece of flat land she wishes to fence. Starting at the first corner, she measures the first si
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Length of third side = 3.97m

Explanation:

First of all, let we draw the triangle from the given information assuming our first corner is A. second corner is B and third corner is C.

From A-B we have distance = 5.5m = Say it c

From B-C we have distance = 4.3m = Say it a

From A-C we have distance = ? = Say it b which we have to find out.

Using the Law of Cosines: The square of the unknown side equals to the sum of squares of other 2 sides and subtracting 2*(Product of other sides)*(Cos(Angle opposite to the unknown side)

For our case it is:

b² = a² + c² - 2acCos(B)         -  Say it equation 1

From the attached triangle you may see that, a & c are our known sides and B is the angle opposite to the side b.

There values are:

a = 4.3m;  c = 5.5m ; Angle B = 0.8 rad = 0.8 * 57.3 = 45.84 degrees where 1 rad = 57.3 degrees

Now by putting the respectve values in equation 1 we have:

b² = (4.3)² + (5.5)² - 2*4.3*5.5*Cos(45.84)

b² = 18.49 + 30.25 - 32.95

b² = 15.79

b  = √15.79

b = 3.97m

Thus the length of third side is 3.97m.

PS: The picture of triangle is being attached for yours understanding.

Answer:

500000N/m²

5250N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Depth(H) = 50m

Density of water  = 1000kg/m³

Acceleration of free fall  = 10m/s

Unknown:

Pressure the water exerts on the diver = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area on a body. In fluids, pressure is the product of density, gravity and height

  Pressure in fluids  = Density x acceleration due to gravity x height

Input the variables and solve;

    Pressure in fluids  = 1000 x 10 x 50  = 500000N/m²

B.

width of window = 150mm

height of window = 70mm

Force water exerts on the window = ?

To solve this problem;

         Pressure  = \frac{Force}{Area}

Area of the window = width x height  = 150 x 10⁻³ x 70 x 10⁻³

                                                           = 1.05 x 10 ⁻²m²

Force  = pressure x area

Input the variables;

             = 500000N/m²   x  1.05 x 10 ⁻²m²

             = 5250N

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of small vehicle compared to a large vehicle
Nadusha1986 [10]
The kinetic energy for a large vehicle is different from that of a smaller vehicle, assuming that the vehicles are travelling at the same speed and stopping the same distance. This is because for a larger vehicle the kinetic energy is higher, as the mass for a larger vehicle, is more than the smaller vehicle.
