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.

Tp-18 what should you do when operating a boat in large waves and high wind?

deff fn [24]

1) Try to head into the waves at some slight angle and the speed of the boat should be reduced.

2) In order to ride up and over the waves, the speed of the boat should be slow.

3) The less the speed of the boat, and the less strain will be put on the hull and superstructure.

How does a change in thermal energy cause matter to change from one state to another?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Thermal energy gives the particles of the substance kinetic energy because temperature is an average measure of kinetic enegy of the particle. If we give them thermal energy the particle will move faster, gaining enough energy to escape and become free. For example, from solid to liquid, the particles would espace their fixed position and be free to move as a liquid.

A college student holds a pail full of water by the handle and whirls it around in a vertical circle at a constant speed. The ra

Pavlova-9 [17]

The minimum speed of the water must be 3.4 m/s

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the water in the pail when it is at the top of its circular motion:

The force of gravity, mg, acting downward (where m is the mass of the water and g the acceleration of gravity)
The normal reaction, N also acting downward

Since the water is in circular motion, the net force must be equal to the centripetal force, so:

$N+mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}$
