The refraction of light makes a swimming pool seem <u>shallower</u>.

The swimming pool seems shallower because the rays of light coming from the bottom of the pool do not come with a straight path. The path of light is straight as long as it is in the water.

When lights come out of the water into the air it bents downwards. This bending is called refraction.

Refraction forms a virtual image of the pool and it seems shallower than it actually is to the observer. This only happens when light travels from one transparent medium into another having lower density.

Which of the following represents energy in its most disordered form? Group of answer choices Chemical-bond energy Electromagnet
gavmur [86]

Answer: Heat Energy

Explanation:

Heat is energy in its most disordered form. heat energy is the random jostling of molecules and is therefore not organized. As cells perform the chemical reactions that generate order within, some energy is inevitably lost in the form of heat. Because the cell is not an isolated system, the heat energy produced by the cell is quickly dispersed into the cell's surroundings where it increases the intensity of the thermal motions of nearby molecules. This increases the entropy of the cell's environment and keeps the cell from violating the second law of thermodynamics.
