Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

<h3>What is total internal reflection?</h3>

The term total internal reflection occurs when light is moving from a denser to a less dense medium such as from glass to air. This phenomenon occurs at the interface between the two media.

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection and they are;

1) Light must travel from a denser to a less dense medium

2) The angle of incidence in the denser medium must be greater than the critical angle.

Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

Twin A makes a one way trip at 0.6c to a star 12 light years away while twin B stays on Earth. Each twin sends the other a signa
hram777 [196]

Answer:

8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 12 light year

Speed = 0.6 c

Time = 1 year

We need to calculate the time by A

Using formula of time

T=t\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\dfrac{v}{c}}{1-\dfrac{v}{c}}}

Put the value into the formula

T=1\sqrt{\dfrac{1+0.6}{1-0.6}}

T=2\ years

Similarly,

The expression for distance cover by A

D=d\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}

D=12\sqrt{1-(0.6)^2}

D=9.6\ ly

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

t=\dfrac{D}{v}

t=\dfrac{9.6}{0.6}

t=16\ years

We need to calculate the signals received by twin A

Using formula for number of signals

n=\dfrac{t}{T}

Put the value into the formula

n=\dfrac{16}{2}

n=8\ signals

Hence, 8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

Corn plants and milkweed plants grow in the same area. Over several years, the milkweed plants have taken over the field and the
erma4kov [3.2K]

Weeds are very important agronomically because they reduce the yield of crops in three ways: by competing with the crop for water, light and nutrients, by interfering with crop harvest, and by contaminating harvested products with weed seeds and toxins. Weeds can reduce yield up to 50% and are responsible for millions of dollars in crop losses each year.

It’s biotic factor would be competition as Competition can be defined as an interaction between organisms or species, in which the fitness of one is lowered by the presence of another.

what is your weight in newtons if your potential energy is equal to 1000 joules and your mass is 60 kg
Darina [25.2K]

Your potential energy and mass don't tell what your weight is.

If I walk up from the first floor to the second floor, my weight hasn't
changed even though my potential energy has increased.

Because white dwarfs are small, as their name implies, they are hard to see. What is a way astronomers have to find white dwarfs
Bumek [7]

Astronomers find white dwarfs that distinguish them from main sequence stars because white dwarfs get really hot, we can search for their ultraviolet radiation.

<h3>What is a white dwarf?</h3>

A white dwarf is a very hot star that radiated much energy in the form of ultraviolet radiation.

This UV radiation is initially very bright and then these stars become red with time.

In conclusion, Astronomers find white dwarfs they can search for their ultraviolet radiation.
