The index of refraction of halite, or rock salt, is 1.54. What is the speed of light in that mineral?

A175 g lump of molten lead at its melting point (327 c) is placed into 55.0 g of water at 20.0 c. the specific heat of lead is 130.j/kg c and the hf of lead is 20,400 j/kg. when the lead and the water have reached equilibrium, what is the temperature of the mixture?

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

The solar panels used by mark function because of the photoelectric effect. light shines on the cells causing electrons to be ejected from the metal, which produces an electric current. at night on mars, no light will fall on the solar cells and no electric current will be generated. according to your notes, what type of light is typically needed to cause the photoelectric effect? a)visible b)ultraviolet c)infrared
