The correct answer is
C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.
In fact, the index of refraction of a material is defined as:
where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material. Rearranging the equation, we can write the speed of light in the material as:
So we that, the smaller the refractive index n, the greater the speed of light in the material, v. In this problem, object B has lower refractive index than object A, so light travels faster in object B.
Answer:
Explanation:
According to Newton's 2nd Law of motion the force is proportional to the mass
and acceleration
:
(1)
On the other hand, the equation for the Centripetal force is:
(2)
Where:
is the velocity
is the radius of the circular motion
Making (1) and (2) equal:
(3)
Hence:
This is the expression for the centripetal acceleration
It should be noted, this acceleration is directed toward the center of the circumference of the circular motion (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).
