Which statement best describes the relationship between an object's density and its index of refraction? as the optical density

increases, the refractive index decreases. as the tendency of the atoms to absorb energy before reemitting it increases, the refractive index increases. as the mass per unit volume of the substance increases, the refractive index decreases. as the physical density of the substance increases, the refractive index increases.

Answer:

as the tendency of the atoms to absorb energy before reemitting it increases, the refractive index increases.

Explanation:

The process of being absorbed and re-emitted by the atoms of the material decreases the speed of light from one end of the medium to the other. Therefore, the higher the absorption, the lower its speed in any medium with respect to the speed of light in a vacuum. The index of refraction indicates how slow the light in the material is compared to its speed in a vacuum. Thus, if the atoms absorb more energy before reemitting it increases, the refractive index increases

The speed of light inside a medium is (2.0 x 10^8m/s) What is the index of refraction (n) of the medium?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Refractive index of a medium = Speed of light in vacuum/Speed of light in a medium

1.5 = 3 x 108 / Speed of light in medium

Speed of light in the medium = 3 x 108 /1.5

= 2 x 108 m/s.

How much energy is used for boiling water in a 4 KW kettle for 20 minutes.​
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:About 860,000 results (1.08 seconds)

kettle-power

Jun 18, 2014 — It's interesting to see how much energy heating and cooling systems use ... the kettle uses goes into the water it costs more to use electricity to boil ... 3 minutes is 1/20 of an hour, so 2.4kW for 3 minutes is equivalent to 2.4 / 20 = 0.12kWh. ... kettle should NOT clock over 1kw/h in the 4 minutes it takes to boil

A 500 kg car starts with a force of 1000 N
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

2 m/s²

30 m/s

Explanation:

1) F = ma

1000 N = (500 kg) a

a = 2 m/s²

2) Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 2 m/s²

t = 15 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (2 m/s²) (15 s) + 0 m/s

v = 30 m/s
