Answer: C) bend when passing from air to water.

Explanation:

Refraction is the phenomenon of bending of light when it passes from one medium to another.

Reflection is the phenomenon of bouncing back of light from a surface.

When light enters from air to water i.e it is moving from rarer to denser medium, it changes its original path as there is a change of speed of light and deflects itself towards the normal. This is known as the refraction of light and this is why a pencil in a cup of water looks as if it is broken and larger.

a sample of water with a mass of 648.00 kg at 298 K is heated with 87 kh of energy. the specific heat of water is 1 J-1 kg K-1.
Stels [109]

q = mCΔT

The correct specific heat capacity of water is <em>4.187 kJ/(kg.K)</em>.

ΔT = q/mC = 87 kJ/[648.00 kg x 4.187 kJ/(kg.K)] = 87 kJ/(2713 kJ/K) = 0.032 K

Tf = Ti + ΔT = 298 K + 0.032 K = 298.032 K
