Electromagnetic waves are used in everyday life. You are looking at your computer screen right now. The light that is coming off of the screen is visible light, a form of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves are also used to send information. For example, AM or FM radios are radio waves that transfer sound information to your local radio.
Answer:
η = 1.31
Explanation:
The formula for the refractive index of from air to some other medium is given by the following formula:

where,
η = refractive index = ?
c = speed of light in air = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
v = speed of light in ice = 2.29 x 10⁸ m/s
Therefore, using these values in the equation we get:

<u>η = 1.31</u>
Answer:
Refer to the attachment for solution (1).
<h3><u>Calculating time taken by it to stop (t) :</u></h3>
By using the second equation of motion,
→ v = u + at
- v denotes final velocity
- u denotes initial velocity
- t denotes time
- a denotes acceleration
→ 0 = 5 + (-5/6)t
→ 0 = 5 - (5/6)t
→ 0 + (5/6)t = 5
→ (5/6)t = 5
→ t = 5 ÷ (5/6)
→ t = 5 × (6/5)
→ t = 6 seconds
→ Time taken to stop = 6 seconds
Answer:
B) the change in momentum.
Explanation:
The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision (
):
(1)
We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

So, (1) becomes

Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time:
. If we substitute into the previous equation, we find

And the quantity
is equivalent to the change in momentum,
.
