Refraction is the phenomenon of change in the speed of light when the light when passes from the medium of one optical density to a medium of another optical density. The light rays also show a bending when passing through the interface of such a medium.

<h3>What causes wave refraction?</h3>

Refraction is the bending of waves due to a change in speed as they travel through different media. Waves may accelerate or decelerate when they go obliquely from one medium to another. The waves will bend more dramatically as their speed changes.

<h3>What characteristics does a wave have?</h3>

The following characteristics of waves:

  • Refraction is the bending of waves as they move from one medium to another due to a change in their speed.
  • Waves may speed up or slow down as they transition from one medium to another at an angle.

What mass of mgo is produced from 2.00 moles of mg ? Mg +02 mgo
Vanyuwa [196]
Chemical Reactions and Moles of Reactants and Products
That is, it requires 2 moles of magnesium and 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of magnesium oxide. If only 1 mole of magnesium was present, it would require 1 ÷ 2 = ½ mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 ÷ 2 = 1 mole magnesium oxide.

A polonium atom has 84 protons, 124 neutrons, and 84 electrons. What will it change to during alpha decay? A. A lead atom with 8
77julia77 [94]
I think the correct answer would be A. When a polonium atom with 84 protons, 124 neutrons, and 84 electrons undergoes alpha decay, a lead atom would be produced with 82 protons, 122 neutrons, and 84 electrons together with an alpha particle having two protons and two neutrons.

A new synthetic element has two isotopes. If the first isotope has a mass of 259.98 amu and a percent abundance of 43%, what is
Maurinko [17]
The sum of the percentage abundance of these two isotopes of the new synthetic element should be equal to 100. If we let x be the percent abundance of the second isotope, we have the equation,                                           43 + x = 100The value of x = 57
