When a wave hits a boundary, what determines how much is reflected and refracted?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Angle and speed of wave

Explanation:

The two phenomena involved here are:

- Reflection: reflection occurs when a light wave bounces off the interface between two mediums, returning into the first medium, at a different angle

- Refraction: refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the interface between the two mediums, passing into the second medium, changing direction and speed

The coefficient of reflection tells what is the fraction of the wave that is reflected over the total; it is calculated as

R=|\frac{n_1 cos \theta_1 - n_2 cos \theta_2}{n_1 cos \theta_1 + n_2 cos \theta_2}|^2

where

n_1, n_2 are the index of refraction of the 1st and 2nd medium

\theta_1, \theta_2 are the angle between the ray of light  and the normal to the interface in the 1st and 2nd medium

From the formula, we see that the % of wave that is reflected depends on the angle and the index of refraction. Moreover, the index of refraction is related to the speed of the wave by:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and v the speed of light in the medium; therefore, the correct answer is

Angle and speed of wave

We wish to obtain a equal sized inverted image of a candel flame on a screen kept at a distance of 4m from the candle flame a) n
soldier1979 [14.2K]

A) To obtain an inverted image of an object of same size a convex lens is used.

B)

In this question we have given

Distance between candle flame and screen=4

it means distance between candle flame and lens +distance between lens and screen =4m

u+v= 4m

u= v

therefore, 2u= 4m

or, u=-2m              ( u is taken negative because it lies on left side of the lens)

and v=2m

we have to find the focal length of convex lens

\frac{1}{f}  =  \frac{1}{v}   -  \frac{1}{u}\frac{1}{f}  =  \frac{1}{2} - ( -  \frac{1}{2} ) \\  \frac{1}{f}  = \frac{1}{1}\\ f = 1m

Hence, Focal length of the lens is 1m

and lens should be placed at a distance of 2m from the flame

If the scaled-up man now stands on one leg, what fraction of the tensile strength is the stress on the femur?.
Oksanka [162]

The fraction of the tensile strength which is the stress on the femur is 1.4%.

<h3>What is Tensile strength?</h3>

This is defined as the amount of load or stress that a material can handle before it stretches and breaks.

The femur which is located in the thigh is the largest bone in the body and it exerts a fraction of 1.4% tensile strength through the stress encountered on the femur when the man stands with one leg.

Is the distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit a discrete
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Continuous random variable

Explanation:

The distance that baseball travels after being hit is a random variable and it assume any real value defined on the sample space.

The distance is measurable and thus is continuous random variable because continuous variable cannot be counted but could be measured.
