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.

Answer:

2 rad/s

Explanation:

For a rotating object, the linear velocity is given by

$v=\omega r$

where $\omega$ is the angular velocity and $r$ is the radius.

$\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}$

The edge has a linear velocity of 10 m/s and the radius at the edge is 5 m.

$\omega=\dfrac{10 \text{ m/s}}{5 \text{ m}} = 2 \text{ rad/s}$

Oxygen is like a milder form of nitrogen when it comes to its changing forms.

Oxygen becomes a gas when heated above -183 degrees Celsius, and when it is cooled below -183 degrees Celsius, it becomes a liquid.

Just as a bonus, the transition between liquid and solid forms happens when Oxygen is cooled below -218.79 degrees Celsius.

So your answer is "the conversion between the liquid and gaseous states of Oxygen." :)
