Answer: speed of light in solid = 1.88 * 10^8 m/s

Frequency is constant

Explanation: The relationship between the velocity of light wave and wavelength is given by the formulae below

V = fλ

During refraction, the frequency of light is constant, thus we have that

V = kλ which implies that velocity is proportional to wavelength.

Hence, we have that

v1/ λ1 = v2/ λ2

Where v1 = velocity of light in air = 3 * 10^8 m/s

v2 = velocity of sound in solid

λ1 = wavelength of light in air = 670nm

λ2 = wavelength of light in solid = 420nm

By making v2 subject of formulae, we have that

v2 = v1 * λ2/ λ1

v2 = 3 * 10^8 * 420nm/ 670nm

v2 = 3 * 10^8 * 0.6268

v2 = 1.88 * 10 ^8 m/s

b)

During refraction the frequency of light wave is constant this is because light consist of photons which has energy. it energy needs to be constant and for energy (E=hf) to be constant, frequency would be constant too.

zaharov [31]

r = radius of the circle of the ride = 3.00 meters

v = linear speed of the person during the ride = 17.0 m/s

m = mass of the person in angular motion in the ride

L = angular momentum of the person in the ride = 3570 kg m²/s

Angular momentum is given as

L = m v r

inserting the values

3570 kg m²/s = m (17 m/s) (3.00 m)

m = 3570 kg m²/s/(51 m²/s)

m = 7 kg

hence the mass comes out to be 7 kg

A gas made up of atoms escapes through a pinhole 2.04 times as fast as kr gas. write the chemical formula of the gas.
levacccp [35]
<span>The chemical formula for the unknown gas is Ne. Since we're looking for the rate at which a gas escapes through a small hole, we're dealing with effusion. For effusion, the rate is proportional to the velocity of the gas particles. Kinetic energy E = 0.5 mv^2 Since the kinetic energy of individual gas particles is the same if their temperatures are the same, we can create the following equality: 0.5 m1(v1)^2 = 0.5 m2(v2)^2 Double each side to make it simplier. m1(v1)^2 = m2(v2)^2 Divide both sides by m1 and by (v2)^2, giving (v1)^2/(v2^2) = m2/m1 And take the square root, giving (v1)/(v2) = sqrt(m2/m1) Now let's use the value 1 and the atomic weight of Kr for v1 and m1 1/(v2) = sqrt(m2/83.798) And for v2, we'll use the value 2.04 1/2.04 = sqrt(m2/83.798) Now solve for m2. 1/2.04 = sqrt(m2/83.798) 1/4.1616 = m2/83.798 83.798/4.1616 = m2 20.13600538 = m2 So the atomic weight of the unknown gas should be close to 20.136. Looking at a periodic table, I find that neon has an atomic weight of 20.18 which is quite close. Additionally, since neon is a noble gas, its gas particles consist of individual atoms. So the unknown gas is neon.</span>

A flywheel of diameter 1.2 m has a constant angular acceleration of 5.0 rad/s2. the tangential acceleration of a point on its ri
vodka [1.7K]
We know that tangential acceleration is related with radius and angular acceleration according the following equation:  
at = r * aa  
where at is tangential acceleration (in m/s2), r is radius (in m) aa is angular acceleration (in rad/s2)  
So the radius is r = d/2 = 1.2/2 = 0.6 m  
Then at = 0.6 * 5 = 3 m/s2  
Tangential acceleration of a point on the flywheel rim is 3 m/s2
