Answer

The refracted wave must obey Snell's equation

Ni sin θi = Nr sin θr

If Nr differs from Ni then sin θr will differ from sin θi

If the wave originates from point A and ends at point B then Snell's Law shows that the time for light to get from point A to point B is a minimum.

We can model the motion of a bumblebee's wing as simple harmonic motion. A bee beats its wings 250 times per second, and the win

zlopas [31]

Answer:

The amplitude of the wing tip's motion is 1.6 mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beat = 250 /s

Speed = 2.5 m/s

We need to calculate the amplitude of the wing tip's motion

Using the equation for the maximum velocity

$v_{max}=2\pi f A$

$A=\dfrac{v}{2\pi f}$

Where,

v = speed

f = frequency

A = amplitude

Put the value into the formula

$A=\dfrac{2.5}{2\pi\times250}$

$A=0.00159 = 1.59\times10^{-3}\ m$

$A=1.6\ mm$

Hence, The amplitude of the wing tip's motion is 1.6 mm.
