Answer:

n = 1.42

Explanation:

The refractive index for a medium is given by the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium.

n=\dfrac{c}{v}\\\\n=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2.1\times 10^8}\\\\n = 1.42

So, the refractive index of the medium is 1.42.

A long wire is known to have a radius greater than 4.0 mm and to carry a current uniformly distributed over its cross section. i
ollegr [7]

Magnetic field outside it due to long wire is given by

B = \frac{u_o i}{2 \pi r}

Magnetic field due to long wire inside wire at any point

B = \frac{u_o i r}{2 \pi R^2}

Now the ratio of two magnetic field is given by

\frac{B_{in}}{B_{out}} = \frac{r_1/R^2}{1/r_2}

\frac{0.285}{0.200} = \frac{4*10}{R^2}

1.425 = \frac{40}{R^2}

R = 5.3 mm

Locate the complete verbal phrase and identify its type.
Ksju [112]
<span>won
adjective

Verb phrases are verbs that may function as a predicate, adjective, or adverb. </span>

(a) "That he said" is an adjective modifying "word". However, this contains the s ubject"he" and the verb "said". It is a clause and NOT a phrase. Phrases can only have either a verb or a noun.
<span>(b) There's only one verb "was" but it does not come with a complement, object, modifier, or other verb. Hence, it's NOT a verb phrase. </span>
<span>(c) "Shall be" consists of the modal shall and the be-verb be. This is a perfect example of a verb phrase that functions as a VERB PHRASE. </span>
<span>(d) "Roared" and "charged" are two verbs referring to different subjects. They do not come with a complement, object, modifier, or another verb. Hence, they're NOT a verb phrase. "As the bull charged" is a clause and not a phrase.</span>
