True I think sorry if not correct, I only want to help :)
It takes a longer wavelength
Answer:
A. a rigorously tested explanation
Explanation:
- B. and D. are out - theories are not opinionated, they are factual
- C. is out - not all theories are mathematical
- A. is the best choice
The chip, during the collision, has a change in momentum:
Δp = m · (v₂ - v₁)
The final speed is equal to zero, since it sticks to the spacecraft, therefore:
Δp = m · v
= 1.6×10⁻⁷ · 3×10³
= 4.8×10⁻⁴ kg·m/s
where we transformed the mass into the proper units of measurement (kg).
This change in momentum is equal to the impulse J:
Δp = J = F · t
We can solve for F
F = J / t = <span>Δp / t
= </span>4.8×10⁻⁴ / 6×10⁻⁸
= 8.0×10³ N
Hence, <span>the force exerted by the chip on the spacecraft is F = 8000N.</span>
Sadly, we're forced to answer the question without the benefit of the
list of choices, which, for some reason, you decided not to let us see.
Index of refraction of a substance =
(speed of light in vacuum) / (speed of light in the substance).
Any number greater than ' 1 ' can be an index of refraction. A number
less than ' 1 ' can't be . . . that would be saying that the speed of light
in this substance is greater than the speed of light in vacuum.
