A beam of red and blue light in air is incident at 30º on a glass surface. Which is true?

Physics
1 answer:
Alex17521 [72]3 years ago
4 0

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.

A 15kg dog jumps out of a 40kg canoe. If the dogs velocity is 1.2m/s, what is the velocity of the canoe?
vivado [14]

Answer:

v = -0.45 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the canoe was initially at rest with momentum L = 0

and that the dog's velocity is in the positive direction

conservation of momentum

0 = 15(1.2) + 40v

v = -0.45 m/s

Eukaryotic that can reproduce sexually contain two types of cells
Darina [25.2K]
<span>Only eukaryotes form multicellular organisms consisting of many kinds of tissue made up of different cell types. Eukaryotes can reproduce both asexually through mitosis and sexually through meiosis and gamete fusion. In mitosis, one cell divides to produce two genetically identical cells.</span>

A person is initially driving a car east down a straight road. the magnitude of the instantaneous acceleration is decreasing wit
Alexxandr [17]
By definition, acceleration is the change in velocity per change of time. As time passes by, the time increases in value. So, when the acceleration is decreasing while the time is increasing, then that means that the change of velocity is also decreasing with time. So, optimally, the initial velocity and the velocity at any time are very relatively close to each other,

How does geomagnetism help scientist understand the motion of earth’s plates?
xeze [42]

Answer:

As the "plates" on each side of ridges in the seafloor are pulled away, lava comes up from the middle, hardens and "records" the current magnetic field.
