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.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

In 0.5 seconds.

Explanation:

The time would be the same because it only depends on the height and the vertical component of the initial velocity. This is of course because each direction must be treated independently. Since between both cases only the horizontal speed changes, the height is the same and the vertical component of the initial velocity is null for both, the time to fall is the same.

When you encounter a yellow light as you approach an intersection what is the safest approach to take?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
This isn't a physics question really, but you should slow down unless you don't believe you can stop in time or don't believe it is safe to stop quickly (say you see someone driving very close behind you and you don't think they're paying attention). In general, if you think that by staying at your current speed your back tires will cross the ending lines of the intersection by the time the light turns red, it is safe to go through the yellow light. However, this is a thing you'll develop a feel for as you're driving, when in doubt, just slow down, just watch slamming on your breaks if there is someone behind you, sometimes people will see the yellow light when they're behind you and they'll speed up behind you so they'll "make it" before the light turns yellow. While this isn't illegal, since they're not technically running the red light, you should never speed up going up to a yellow light, if you need to speed up to make it before it turns red, you shouldn't make the light, just stop, this is especially bad if someone is directly in front of you and is likely to stop at the yellow light while the person behind them speeds up. This causes a lot of accidents.
