Two objects, Object A and Object B, need to be identified. Object A's index of refraction is determined to be 1.77, and Object B's index of refraction is determined to be 1.333. Knowing this information, which of the following must be true? A. Light can pass through Object A faster than it can pass through Object B.B. The optical density of Object A is lower than the optical density of Object B.
C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.
D. The optical density of Object B is higher than the optical density of Object A.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

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:

n=(c)/(v)

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:

v=(c)/(n)

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 2
Answer: In the question "Two objects, Object A and Object B, need to be identified. Object A's index of refraction is determined to be 1.77, and Object B's index of refraction is determined to be 1.333. Knowing this information, which of the following must be true? A. Light can pass through Object A faster than it can pass through Object B." The correct answer is "Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through object A." (option C) The refractive index is a ratio of the speed of light in a medium relative to its speed in a vacuum. The refractive index of any other medium is defined relative to the refractive index of a vacuum, which is assigned a value of 1. Thus, a refractive index of 1.33 for water means that light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than in water.

1. Kuiper Belt object is made of frozen is made of frozen gas, ice, and dust that orbits in the outermost reaches of the solar system. Kuiper belt is a region which is filled with icy gaz bodies. Its structure is almost the same as the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Pluto, Makemake, Haumea are the officially recognized planets which are located in this region. 2. In my opinion, the most suitable option is: 3) The planets formed at the center of a collapsing spinning cloud of gas and dust. According to theory of solar system formation, the solar system appeared after a supernova (star explosion). A cloud of gas and dust was collapsed, and it caused a formation of a solar nebula.

The amplitude of a transverse wave on a string is 3.0 cm. The ratio of the maximum particle speed to the speed of the wave is 3.9. What is the wavelength (in cm) of the wave?

Answers

Answer:

Therefore the wavelength of the particle is 4.83 m.

Explanation:

Transverse wave: A transverse wave is a moving wave whose direction of wave and oscillation are perpendicular to each other.

Amplitude:The amplitude of a wave is the maximum the distance from its rest position covered by a particle.

Here amplitude (A) = 3.0 cm

The ratio of maximum speed to the speed of the particle is 3.9

The maximum speed of the particle C_(max)= A×ω

The speed of the particle C= f×λ

Then,

(C_max)/(C) =(A* \omega)/(f* \lambda)

\Rightarrow (C_max)/(C) =(A* 2\pi * f)/(f* \lambda)             [∵ω=2πf]

\Rightarrow (C_max)/(C) =(A* 2\pi )/( \lambda)

\Rightarrow 3.9=(3* 2\pi )/( \lambda)

\Rightarrow \lambda=(3* 2\pi )/( 3.9)

\Rightarrow \lambda = 4.83 m

Therefore the wavelength of the particle is 4.83 m

Inertia: the plates over the tablecloth will try to stay in the same state of non movement. If there is minimum friction between the tablecloth and the objects standing on it, a rapid movement of the tablecloth does not change the state of the objects.

All nuclear energy results in the rapid release of energy, such as in atomic bombs. a. True
b. False

Answers

It is true that all nuclear energy results inthe rapid release of energy, such as in atomic bombs. A process wherein the atom’s nucleusis further divided into two nuclei, that is, fission products, is callednuclear fission. This happens when the nuclei of radioactive elements (e.g.Uranium or Plutonium isotopes) are able to attract neutrons. Because theseisotopes’ nuclei are unstable, an addition to their energy causes them todivide into new pieces of neutron. In nuclear reactors, fission occurs when thepower plant gathers heat from a steam in a physical process. Nuclear reactorsare designed to sustain nuclear chain reactions.

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

verified answer***

Nuclear energy is released from an atom through one of two processes: nuclear fusion or nuclear fission. In nuclear fusion, energy is released when the nuclei of atoms are combined or fused together. But isn't rapidly release

Does a stick of dynamite contain force?

Answers


No.  Force isn't something you can enclose in a box, an envelope,
or a bottle.

A stick of dynamite contains some amount of a chemical compound which,
when triggered by enough heat or shock, undergoes a chemical reaction
that proceeds very rapidly, and generates a large quantity of gases before
the gases can dissipate.  This creates very high pressure around the reaction,
and it's this pressure in a small volume that exerts great force for a very short
time.     The whole process is often described as an "explosion".
