Answer:

Speed of light changes

Explanation:

Since glass is denser than air so the speed of light in glass is less than in air so light rays bend i.e. refract.

A hockey puck wont slide very far on concrete or asphalt, but it will slide for a very long time on ice. Why is this?

Ilya [14]

When hockey players push the puck along the ice it slides causing heat which melts the ice causing the friction against the ice to be less.

A light ray incident from medium 1 to medium 2, where n1>n2. When the incident angle exceed the critical angle ac, the refrac

vovikov84 [41]

Explanation:

(a)

Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.

Using Snell's law as:

$n_1\times {sin\theta_i}={n_2}\times{sin\theta_r}$

Where,

${\theta_i}$ is the angle of incidence

${\theta_r}$ is the angle of refraction = 90°

${n_2}$ is the refractive index of the refraction medium

${n_1}$ is the refractive index of the incidence medium

Thus,

$n_1\times {sin\ \theta_{critical}}={n_2}\times{sin\ 90^0}$

The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:

${sin\theta_{critical}}=\frac {n_2}{n_1}$

Where,

${\theta_{critical}}$ is the critical angle

(b)

No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.

What is the weight of a 5.00 kg object on Earth? Assume g=9.81 m/s^2.

Softa [21]

<em>weight = (mass) x (gravity)</em>

Weight = (5.00 kg) x (9.81 m/s²)

weight = (5.00 x 9.81) (kg-m/s²)

<em>Weight = 49.05 Newton</em>
