Answer:

from formula,

n = <u>speed</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>light</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

speed of light in medium

In Silica,

1.44 = (3e8m/s)/v

v= (3e8m/s)/1.44

v = 20.83e7m/s

v = 20.8 × 10^7m/s.

Light travels in silica at 20.8 × 10^7 m/s.

Answer:

2.08 x 108 m/s

The speed of light in this fiber is found to be v = c/n = (3.00 x 108 m/s)/(1.44) = 2.08 x 108 m/s.

Which of the following statements is not true of the process of nuclear fission? (3 points) It is the process used in most nucle
Misha Larkins [42]
Answer: the statement that is not true is the second one: <span>It only occurs in very small atoms with low mass.

Explanation:

</span><span>The nuclear fission consists in the division or fragmentation of an atomic nuclei into smaller fragments releasing huge amounts of energy.

The biggest and heaviest atoms are unstable, meaning that they gain stability by splitting into smaller, lighter atoms.

So, the third given statement contradicts the previous fact.

That is why most of the heaviest elements have not been found naturally but have been created synthetically and have very short life times.

The scientific models are used because they allow scientists to make predictions and make it easier for scientists to avoid using data. option A and C is correct.

<h3>What are scientific models?</h3>

The scientific models are those which is given by scientists to allow them to make prediction about anything particular on which they are working or making research for it some examples are plum pudding model for an atom and bohr's model of an atom etc.

The biggest advantage is that scientists do not have to check the given data which are written into books they can perform their experiment and can conclude the data by performing experiment.

Therefore, scientific models are used because they allow scientists to make predictions and make it easier for scientists to avoid using data. option A and C is correct.
