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.

How many atoms are in 3.690 moles of oxygen
sweet [91]

1 mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number.  

So, 1 mole of O2= 6.023x10^23 molecules  

3 mole of O2= 6.023x10^23x3 molecules  

= 1.8069x10^24 molecules  

Each molecule of Oxygen has 2 atoms.  

therefore,  

1.8069x10^24 molecules= 1.8069x10^24 x 2 atoms  

= 3.6138x10^24 atoms.

How much heat do you need to raise the temperature of 100g of aluminum from 30 C to 150 C
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Q = 10.8 KJ

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Al= 100g

Initial temperature = 30°C

Final temperature = 150°C

Heat required = ?

Solution:

Specific heat of Al = 0.90 j/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 150°C - 30°C

ΔT = 120°C

Q = 100g×0.90 J/g.°C× 120°C

Q = 10800 J       (10800j×1KJ/1000 j)

Q = 10.8 KJ
