index of refraction?

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The speed of light when it travels through glass, diamond, etc, the light travels at different speed from the speed of light. Speed of the light in material is related to the index of refraction.

The change in speed which occurs when the light passes from one medium to the another is responsible for bending of the light which is called as refraction.

<u>When the light goes into a medium with the higher index of the refraction, light bends towards normal. Conversely, if the light traveling goes from higher refractive index to lower refractive index, it will bend away from the normal. </u>

<u>Hence, the refraction is different in both the scenario.</u>

A car owner forgets to turn off the headlights of his car while it is parked in his garage. If the 12.0-V battery in his car is
avanturin [10]

Answer: 22.6 hours

Explanation:

The power is the measure of the rate of energy.

In this problem, the 12.0 V battery is rated at 51.0 Ah, which means it delivers 51.0 A of current in a time of t = 1 h = 3600 s. The power delivered by the battery can be written as

P=IV

where

I is the current

V = 12.0 V is the voltage of the battery

So the energy delivered by the battery can be written as

E=Pt=VIt

Where

It=51.0 A\cdot h = 51.0 A \cdot 3600 s/h=183,600 A\cdot s

So the energy delivered is

E=(12.0)(183,600)=2.2\cdot 10^6 J

At the same time, the headlight consumes 27.0 W of power, so 27 Joules of energy per second; Therefore, it will remain on for a time of:

t=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^6 J}{27.0 W}=81481 s = 22.6 h

1).  From the frame of reference of a passenger on the airplane looking out of his window, the tree appears to be moving, at roughly 300 miles per hour toward the left of the picture.

2).  The SI unit best suited to measuring the height of a building is the meter.

3).  'Displacement' is the straight-line distance and direction from the start-point to the end-point, regardless of the path that was followed to get there.  

The ball started out in the child's hand, and it ended up 2 meters away from her in the direction of the wall.  So the displacement of the ball from the beginning to the end of the story is:  2 meters toward the wall.

A thin flake of mica (n=1.58) is used to cover one slit of a double-slit interference arrangement. The central point on the wiew
Llana [10]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the optical concepts related to the phase difference between two or more materials.

By definition we know that the phase between two light waves that are traveling on different materials (in this case also two) is given by the equation

\Phi = 2\pi(\frac{L}{\lambda}(n_1-n_2))

Where

L = Thickness

n = Index of refraction of each material

\lambda = Wavelength

Our values are given as

\Phi = 7(2\pi)

L=t

n_1 = 1.58

n_2 = 1

\lambda = 550nm

Replacing our values at the previous equation we have

\Phi = 2\pi(\frac{L}{\lambda}(n_1-n_2))

7(2\pi) = 2\pi(\frac{t}{\lambda}(1.58-1))

t = \frac{7*550}{1.58-1}

t = 6637.931nm \approx 6.64\mu m

Therefore the thickness of the mica is 6.64μm
