Refractive index(n)= speed of light in vacuum/ speed of light in medium.
Since refractive index is 1.11, and usually we know that the speed of light is 300,000km/s, simply divide 300,000km/s over 1.11. That is, 270,270.2703 when simply rounding, its 270,270 km/s.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Crystal structure

Explanation:

The repeated pattern of similar particles in a material is called crystal. Crystal structure is the largest constituent unit of a solid matter.

The fundamental identity of a crystal structure is a unit cell that is formed by the arrangement of atoms or ions in a particular manner. A crystal is defined as a regular, long-ranged repeated arrangement of unit cells.

Crystal have a sharp melting and boiling point and they give a sharp edge on being cut with a knife.

At the beginning of a unit on forces, Ms. Alton is leading a class discussion asking her students
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

(iv), (v), (vi) would be incorrect.

Explanation:

(iv) Force isn't transferred from one colliding object to another, but momentum can be.

(v) An object doesn't stop immediately a force stops acting on it. Think of a thrown ball.

(vi) For an object not to move, it means that the net force on the object is zero, and not necessarily that there are no forces acting on the object. For example, an object could be pushed on one side, and be pushed on the other side with an equal force in the opposite direction. The forces would cancel each other and the net force would be zero.

The rest should be correct.
