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.

A 100g of sample of a compound is combusted in excess oxygen and the products are 2.492g of CO2 and 0.6495 of H2O. Determine the
ruslelena [56]

The empirical formula : C₁₁O₁₄O₃

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The assumption of the compound consists of C, H, and O

mass of C in CO₂ =

\tt \dfrac{12}{44}\times 2.492=0.680~g

mass of H in H₂O =

\tt \dfrac{2.1}{18}\times 0.6495=0.072~g

mass of O :

mass sample-(mass C + mass H)

\tt 1-(0.68+0.072)=0.248`g

mol of  C :

\tt \dfrac{0.68}{12}=0.056

mol of H :

\tt \dfrac{0.072}{1}=0.072

mol of O :

\tt \dfrac{0.248}{16}=0.0155

divide by 0.0155(the lowest ratio)

C : H : O ⇒

\tt \dfrac{0.056}{0.0155}\div \dfrac{0.072}{0.0155}\div \dfrac{0.0155}{0.0155}=3.6\div 4.6\div  1\\\\\dfrac{11}{3}\div \dfrac{14}{3}\div \dfrac{3}{3}=11:14:3

1.) Why does the heart rate speed up during exercise?
Yakvenalex [24]
1.) When a man is engaged to continuous exercise or work, not only his muscles are working but also there is increase in the rate of respiration too. This accelerated rate of respiration and heartbeat provides more oxygen and food to the body. So all the organs and organ systems work in coordination. 2.) I'm sorry that I don't know the answer to your question. The one which I know, I have already written.

How do you classify a metal
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

They are solid (with the exception of mercury, Hg, a liquid).

They are shiny, good conductors of electricity and heat.

They are ductile (they can be drawn into thin wires).

They are malleable (they can be easily hammered into very thin sheets).

If this satisfies you please consider giving me brainliest :)
