Given: Velocity of light c = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s
Frequency f = 7.65 x 10⁷/s
Required: Wavelength λ = ?
Formula: λ = c/f
λ = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s/7.65 x 10⁷/s
λ = 3.92 m
Explanation:
We need to calculate the speed of light in each materials
(I). Gallium phosphide,
The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 3.50
Using formula of speed of light
....(I)
Where, 
= index of refraction
c = speed of light
Put the value into the formula
(II) Carbon disulfide,
The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.63
Put the value in the equation (I)
(III). Benzene,
The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.50
Put the value in the equation (I)
Hence, This is the required solution.
Answer:
distance = 3 + 4 = 7 mi
displacement is √(3² + 4²) = 5 mi
Explanation:
For the same reason that you can skate around a curve at constant speed but not with constant velocity.
The DIRECTION you're going is part of your velocity, but it's not part of your speed.
If the DIRECTION changes, that's a change of velocity.
The object doesn't have to change speed to have a different velocity. A change of direction is enough to do it.
And any change of velocity is called acceleration.
