What is the refractive index of air if light travels through it at 3.0 108 m/s?

Physics
1 answer:
olchik [2.2K]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

n = c/v = (3.00 x 108 m/s)/(2.76 x 108 m/s) = 1.09. This does not equal any of the indices of refraction listed in the table.

A car slows down from speed of 72
Nastasia [14]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 72km/hr

Final velocity  = 0km/hr

Time taken  = 25s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, convert km/hr to m/s;

           1000m = 1km

           3600s = 1hr

  72km/hr;

          1km/hr  = 0.278m/s

         72km/hr = 0.278 x 72  = 20.02m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken;

       Acceleration = \frac{final velocity - initial velocity }{time}  

       Acceleration  = \frac{0 - 20.02}{25}   = -0.8m/s

The car  is actually decelerating at a rate of 0.8m/s

Radon-220 is a radioactive gas. It escapes from underground rocks and causes a large part of the natural background radiation in
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: 134 neutrons are there in the nucleus of Radon-220

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Thus, number of protons = atomic number = 86

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

220 = 86 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 134

when charges mutually repel and distribute themselves on the surface of conductors, what becomes of the electric field inside th
AleksAgata [21]

The charges align themselves so that the conductor's internal field is zero.

<h3>What occurs if a charged surface is in close proximity to a conducting surface?</h3>

Induced charges are created on the conductor when a charge is brought close to it. The internal free charges of the conductor, however, are gathered throughout its surface because the electric field inside the conductor must be zero in order to defeat the electric field of induced charges.

<h3>What takes place within a conductor?</h3>

A substance that has a lot of free electrons accessible for the flow of current is said to be a conductor. Since there are numerous electrons, a powerful force of repulsion exists between them as well. As a result, the electrons move to lessen their attraction for one another.
