If the index of refraction of a lens is 1.5, how fast does light travel in the lens?
Len [333]
The speed of light in a material is given by:
v= \frac{c}{n}
where
c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in vacuum
n is the refractive index of the material

The lens in this problem has a refractive index of n=1.50, therefore the speed of light in the lens is
v= \frac{c}{n}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.50}=2 \cdot 10^8 m/s

And the correct answer is C).

Does red or green light have more energy.
dalvyx [7]

Answer: Green Light

Explanation:

The color green has a higher frequency than the color red and the higher the frequency the more energy. If you looks at a rainbow you'll see red on one end and violet on the other. Red has the least energy Violet has the most.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

<u> Power = 9.75 ×10^8\frac{kgm^2}{s^3}</u>

Explanation:

  • Power is rate of change of energy.
  • Here gravitational energy is transferred to kinetic energy of water at a definite rate.

For one second 650m^3 of water flows out down to 150m oh depth.

So, the energy at a height of 150m is transformed to kinetic energy.

for a second,

       650m^3 of water flows down ⇒ (1000kg/m^3 × 650m^3) = 6.5×10^5kg of warer flos down.

The total gravitational potential energy stored in water is

    = <u>mass of water × height× gravity</u>

    = 6.5 ×10^5 × 150 × 10 =  9.75 ×10^8\frac{kgm^2}{s^2}

As it is transformed in a second it is also equal to <u>Power.</u>

List five rules of golf etiquette. Explain the correct stance, grip, orientation, and parts of a swing.
Verizon [17]
- keep you eyes on the ball, after you hit the ball you look up, you have to see the club hit the ball

- your grip it really matters on what your comfortable with but first you put your left hand on the club then put your right hand below your left hand, then put your right pinky on top of your index finger, but you can inter lock your pinky and index finger

- DON'T HIT AT THE BALL HIT THREW THE BALL

- parts of the swing, can be pretty tricky to explain, but I'll try my best to explain it, okay so a golf swing is like a pendulum, you swing right to left. Once you lift the club to the right you still look down at the ball. After swimming to the right your have to hit the ball with your right hand strength, in order the ball to fly.

- the way you do your grip defines if the ball will go straight or not. But also the way you swing towards the ball also defines how far the ball is going to go.

Imagine you have a collection of identical flat-bottomed coffee filters that can be nested (stacked inside of each other) so tha
skad [1K]

Answer:

the terminal velocity of 14 nested coffee filters is 3.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

The terminal velocity is proportional to the square root of weight.

v ∝ √W

v = k√W

the proportionality constant depends upon the surface area and the density of the medium (like air). The coffee filters can be stacked such that the resulting area is roughly unchanged. So, the constant of proportionality k is also unchanged

v/√W = constant

v₂/√W₂ = v₁/√W₁

v₂ = v₁√(W₂ / W₁ )

given that;

v₁ = 0.856 m/s,

W₂ = 14W₁; meaning 14 coffee filters have 14 times the weight of a single coffee filter

so we substitute

v₂ = 0.856 √(14W₁  / W₁ )

v₂  = 0.856 √( 14( W₁/W₁)

v₂  = 0.856 √( 14(1)

v₂  = 0.856 √( 14 )

v₂  = 0.856 × 3.741657

v₂  = 3.2 m/s

Therefore, the terminal velocity of 14 nested coffee filters is 3.2 m/s
