Answer:

The value is n = 1.081

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed of in a vacuum is c = 3.0 *10^{8} \  m/s

    The speed of light in the material is  v  =  c -0.075c = 0.925 c =  0.925 * 3.0*10^{8}  = 2.775 *10^{8} \ m/s

   Generally the reflection of the material is mathematically represented as

             n = \frac{c}{v}

=>    n = \frac{3.0*10^{8}}{2.775 *10^{8}}

=>    n = 1.081

1) a substance made by mixing other substances together.

2) diverse in character or content.

3) of the same kind; alike.

4) a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation.

5) a homogeneous noncrystalline substance consisting of large molecules or ultramicroscopic particles of one substance dispersed through a second substance. Colloids include gels, sols, and emulsions; the particles do not settle, and cannot be separated out by ordinary filtering or centrifuging like those in a suspension.

A star ending its life with a mass of four to eight times the Sun's mass is expected to collapse and then undergo a supernova ev
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

r = 16 Km

Explanation:

given  

m_n= 1.67 x 10^-27 Kg

M_star = 3.88 x 10^30 Kg  

A= M_star/m_n

A= 3.88*10^30/1.67 x 10^-27

A=2.28 *10^57  neutrons                           A = The number of neutrons  

we use the number of neutrons as a mass number because the star has only neutrons. = 1.2 x 10-15 m

r = r_o*A^1/3

r = 1.2*10^-15*2.28 *10^57^1/3

r = 16 Km

Consider a spherical capacitor with radius of the inner conducting sphere a and the outer shell b. The outer shell is grounded (
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The application of Gauss's law is used in the derivation as shown with detailed step by step in the attached file.

The potential difference on this spherical capacitor is ΔV = Va - Vb = kQ/a - kQ/b = kQ(1/a - 1/b)
