Answer: 40

Explanation:

= 34 + 5 * 1.2465

= ‭40.2325‬

= 40

The number of significant figures in the answer should be the same as the number with the least number of significant figures that any of the digits in the equation have.

32 has 2 significant figures so the answer has to be 2 significant figures which is 40.

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).
