Explain the process of refraction of light​

Physics
1 answer:
brilliants [131]1 year ago
4 0

The process of refraction of light​ occurs when light rays bends when travelling between media of different densities.

What is refraction of light?

Refraction of light is the bending of light rays or the change in the direction of light rays as it travels between media of different densities.

Light waves travel faster in media of less density than media of more density.

The change in density of the media makes light waves to be bend towards or away from the normal.

For example, when light travels from less dense air to more dense water, the light rays are bent towards the normal. However, when light rays travel from water to air, the light rays are refracted away from the normal.

In conclusion, refraction of light waves occur when light crosses the boundary of media of different densities.

when an object is charged by contact, how does the kind of charge transferred compare to that on the object giving the charge?
11111nata11111 [884]

Lets say sphere 1 has a charge of 12 + and sphere 2 has a charge of 0 +. After they are touched Sphere 1 becomes 6 + and sphere 2 6 +. So 6 - 12 = a change of 6 -, while 6 - 0 = a change of 6 + Therfore,

Answer: The sign of the charge change / transfered are opposites.

Can some answer 7 a and b please
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

a.After 15 second Mr Comer's speed =  1.7 m/s

b.Distance travelled by Mr.Comer in 15 seconds  =   18.75\ m

Explanation:

a. Lets recall our first equation of motion V_{f} =V_{i} + at

Now we know that V_{i} = 0.8m/s , a = 0.06\ m/s^2 and

t = 15 \ sec

Plugging the values we have.

V_{f} =V_{i} + at

V_{f} =0.8 + 0.06 \times 15

V_{f} =0.8+ 0.9

V_{f} =1.7 m/s

Then Mr.Comer's speed after 15 sec = 1.7ms^-1

b.

Lets find the distance and recall our third equation of motion.

V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2 = 2as

So s = distance covered.

Dividing both sides with 2a we have.

\frac{V_{f} ^2-V{i}^2}{2a} = 2as

Plugging the values.

\frac{(1.7)^2-(0.8)^2}{2\times0.06} = 2as

s= 18.75\ m

So Mr.Comer will travel a distance of s= 18.75\ m.
