Lucite has a refractive index of n=1.50. This means that the speed of the light in lucite is decreased according to:
v=\frac{c}{n}
where c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in air. Putting the number in the formula, we find that the speed of light in lucite is
v=\frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.50}=2\cdot 10^8 m/s
The frequency of the light is f=5.09 \cdot 10^{14}Hz, so now we can calculate the wavelength in lucite by using the formula:
\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{2\cdot 10^8 m/s}{5.09 \cdot 10^{14} Hz}=3.93 \cdot 10^{-7} m=393 nm
<span>Therefore, the correct answer is (2) 393 nm.</span>

The current through a 10 ohm resistor is 1.2 amperes.What is the potential difference across the resistor?
Natalija [7]

<u>Answer</u>: The potential difference across the resistor is 12 volts.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the potential difference cross the resistor, we use Ohm's Law. This law states that the potential difference across two wires is directly proportional to the current flowing through that wire.

Mathematically,

V\propto I\\V=IR

Where,

V = potential difference = ?V

I = Current flowing = 1.2 A

R = Resistor = 10\Omega

Putting values in above equation, we get:

V=1.2\times 10=12V

Hence, the potential difference across the resistor is 12 volts

K 12!! When an observer is moving towards a stationary object making a sound, the pitch of the sound is perceived to be ________
lozanna [386]
<span>When an observer is moving towards a stationary object making a sound,
he runs the risk of startling the stationary object.

On the other hand, if the stationary object is the one making the sound,
then the pitch of the sound perceived by the observer is higher than the
sound that the object is actually making.</span>

If you had a 14 m long timeline, where would the extinction of the dinosaurs be?
Lapatulllka [165]

If you had a 14 m long timeline, the dinosaurs would be less than one meter from the end.

<h3>What is extinction of species?</h3>

The extinction of species or organisms is the process by which some environmental factors cause a decline in the number of species through death.

Dinosaurs are some of the examples of species that are in extinct.

Since dinosaurs are in extinction, If you had a 14 m long timeline, the dinosaurs would be less than one meter from the end.

Which example describes a nonrenewable resource?
ioda

Answer: Examples of nonrenewable resources include crude oil, natural gas, coal, and uranium. These are all resources that are processed into products that can be used commercially. For example, the fossil fuel industry extracts crude oil from the ground and converts it to gasoline.
