A solid piece of clear transparent material has an index of refraction of 1.61. If you place it into a clear transparent solutio

n and it seems to disappear, approximately what is the index of refraction of the solution

NISA [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1.61

Explanation:

According to Oxford dictionary, refractive index is, ''the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its velocity in a specified medium.''

If the clear transparent solid disappears when dipped into the liquid, it means that the index of refraction of the solid and liquid are equal.

Hence, when a transparent solid is immersed in a liquid having the same refractive index, there is no refraction at the boundary between the two media. As long as there is no refraction between the two media, the solid can not be seen because the solid and liquid will appear to the eye as one material.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

For an electric force, F the formula:

F = kQq/r^2

Given:

r2 = 1/2 × r1

F1 × r1 = k

F1 × r1 = F2 × r2

F2 = (F1 × r1^2)/(0.5 × r1)^2

= (F1 × r1^2)/0.25r1^2

= 4 × F1.

A student is about to sled down a hill. He stands on a hill which is 30 meters tall and he weighs 40kg what is his GPE
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

11760J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of hill  = 30m

Weight  = 40kg

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy  = ?

Solution:

To find the gravitational potential energy, it is the energy due to the position of a body;

     G.PE  = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

      G.PE = 40 x 9.8 x 30  = 11760J
