Electromagnetic radiation is one of many ways as energy travels through space.
 As you may already know, a wave has a valley (lowest point) and a ridge (highest point). The vertical distance between the tip of the crest and the central axis of the wave is known as amplitude. This is the property associated with the brightness, or intensity, of the wave. The horizontal distance between two consecutive crests or valleys of the wave is known as wavelength

Light travels through a liquid at 2.25e8 m/s. What is the index of refraction of the liquid?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The index of refraction of light in a medium ( n ) determines the degree of "bending" of light in that medium.

- The index of refraction is material property and proportional to density of the material.

- The denser the material the slower the light will move through associated with considerable diffraction angles.

- The lighter the material the faster the light pass through the material without being diffracted as much.

- So, in the other words index of refraction can be expressed as how fast or slow light passes through a medium.

- The reference of comparison of how fast or slow the light is the value of c = 3.0*10^8 m/s i.e speed of light in vacuum or also assumed to be the case for air.

- so we can mathematically express the index of refraction as a ratio of light speed in the material specified and speed of light.

- The light passes through a liquid with speed v = 2.25*10^8 m/s :

                         n = c / v\\\\n = \frac{ 3*10^8 }{2.25*10^8} \\\\n = 1.33

- The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water.

How is it possible for one electrically neutral atom to exert an electrostatic force on other electrically neutral atom?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Although Atom are electrically neutral. But atom atom is combination of nucleus and electrons. The nucleus of the atom is composed neutron and positively charged protons. On the outside of nucleus at some distance are the electrons which are negatively charged. So, there is difference in position of the two differently charge species. So, this way a electrically neutral atom can exert a electrostatic force on other electrically neutral atom
