How does light behaves when light passes through water?
1 answer:
light bends towards the normal when passing from air to water.
Explanation:
when Light passes from air to water It gets refracted and bend towards normal and if it passes from water to air it bends away from normal. This is because of the difference in density of the medium. Light when passing through higher density to lower bends away from normal and on passing through lower density to higher bends towards normal.
in general, some of the rays of light will reflect from the surface of water but other will pass through the water. The normal is the perpendicular line drawn on the surface at the exact point of incident.

Explanation:
= density of hockey puck = 9.45 gcm⁻³ = 9450 kgm³
= diameter of hockey puck = 13 cm = 0.13 m
= height of hockey puck = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m
= density of mercury = 13.6 gcm⁻³ = 13600 kgm³
= depth of puck below surface of mercury
According to Archimedes principle, the weight of puck is balanced by the weight of mercury displaced by puck
Weight of mercury displaced = Weight of puck
