Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... Refraction not only affects visible light rays, but all electromagnetic radiation, although in varying degrees.

So in short, the answer is D.

Answer:

because the atmosphere reflects light

Explanation:

When light travels from sun to Earth then the path of light will change continuously due to change in the optical density of the medium.

As we know that as air mass density increases then its optical density also increases and this will bend the light from sun to earth.

Now as light comes towards us from sun it will have multiple refraction and each time while light refracts the different components of light will bend in different directions and this will disperse the light in all directions.

So here while sunset the position of sun will change with time and due to this light of different colours will disperse at each positions of sun.

Due to this phenomenon the colour of sky will change

Small paragraph explaining how how potential and kinetic energy are related
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its movement. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. While kinetic energy of an object is relative to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is completely independent of its environment.

Help with both questions I’ll mark brainliest
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

(1) A sound wave a mechanical wave because mechanical waves rely on particle interaction to transport their energy, they cannot travel through regions of space that are void of particles. Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum. These particle-to-particle, mechanical vibrations of sound conductance qualify sound waves as mechanical waves. Sound energy, or energy associated with the vibrations created by a vibrating source, requires a medium to travel, which makes sound energy a mechanical wave. The answer is(B) it travels in the medium.

(2) An ocean wave is an example of a mechanical transverse wave

The compression is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are crowded together. The rarefaction is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are spread apart. The answer is (C) Compression.
