Name some devices we use to make measurements

Physics
1 answer:
NikAS [45]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Ruler. A steel ruler aids the measurement and layout of straight lines. The ruler, also called "straightedge" or "straight-edged ruler," is a long, thin strip of wood, metal or plastic marked with increments of measurement.

Measuring Tape. The modern measuring tape's roughly palm-sized casing contains a coiled strip of metal marked with increments of measurement. The metal strip, called "tape," attaches to a spring which automatically retracts the tape into the casing following use.

Walking Tape Measure. The walking tape measure, also called "surveyor's measure," records the distance traveled by a wheel. An operator pushes the measure's wheel, similar to a bicycle wheel, by a handle as an attached ticker box displays feet or meters in the same format as a car's odometer.

Laser Measure. The laser measure offers point and shoot distance measurement. In its most basic form, a laser measure is a hand-held electronic device with a digital display.

If light has a speed of 122,000 mps in a transparent medium, what is the index of refraction of the medium? A. n = 1.52
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

A.\hspace{3}n=1.52

Explanation:

The refractive index of a medium is a measure to know how much the speed of light within the medium is reduced. It can be calculated with the next equation:

n=\frac{c}{v}   (1)

Where:

c=Speed\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}vacuum\\n=Refractive\hspace{3}index\\

v=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}medium

The speed of light in the vacuum is approximately 300,000 km/s. In order to work with the same units let's do the proper conversion with the velocity of the medium:

122,000\frac{mi}{s} *\frac{1.60934km}{1mi}=196339.48\frac{km}{s}

Finally, replacing the data in (1):

n=\frac{300,000}{196339.48} =1.527965746\approx1.52
