Answer:

a. The blue light is bent toward the normal more than the red light.

Explanation:

When light travels from a less dense medium, in this case air into a denser medium (glass) it is bent towards the normal because of the reduction in speed due to the dense medium.In this scenario we have the same incident angle of 30º. therefore, we consider the wavelength of the light because at shorter wavelengths we have more refraction occurring as compared to longer wavelengths. We know that Blue light has a shorter wavelength as compared to red light, which means it will bend toward the normal more than the red light.

love history [14]

Answer: the refraction of light by the atmosphere

Explanation: Refraction is the phenomenon in which there is a change in direction of light passing from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium.

Here in case of sunset, the sun rays passes through the varying density of atmosphere because of varying concentrations of dust particles.

Reflection is the phenomenon in which the light bounces back after falling on a surface.

Absorption is the phenomenon in which matter captures the electromagnetic radiations and thus the energy of photons is converted to internal energy of the system.

Si pudieras viajar a la Luna:
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

i) Distancia, ii) La cinta métrica es impracticable.

Explanation:

i) El concepto físico que se construye únicamente del punto de salida y el punto de llegada a la Luna es el concepto de desplazamiento, definido como la distancia en línea recta de un punto en el espacio con respecto a un punto de referencia (la Tierra en este caso).

La distancia puede involucrar trayectorias curvilíneas entre los puntos mencionados.

ii) Por último, el uso de una cinta métrica es impracticable debido a la cantidad de material a utilizar y los efectos gravitacionales, electromagnéticos y mecánicos que inducen a una deflexión o una ruptura de esa cinta debido a la magnitud de la distancia entre las superficies del planeta y el satélite, respectivamente.

En este caso, es mejor utilizar la medición con tecnología láser, basadas en el fenómeno del electromagnetismo.
