A straw placed in a clear glass of water appears to break at the water’s surface. Which explains this effect? A). The water is t

ransparent, but the glass is translucent. Scattering causes the straw to appear broken. B). The water is transparent, but the straw is opaque. Diffuse reflection causes the straw to appear broken. C).The water and the glass are transparent. Refraction causes the straw to appear broken. D). The water and the glass are translucent. The broken appearance of the straw is a mirage.

Answer: C).The water and the glass are transparent. Refraction causes the straw to appear broken.

Explanation: The reason for the straw to break at the water's surface is because of the process of refraction. Light travels at different speeds in different medium because of the varying densities.

The light travels from air to water and thus the difference in speed results in an apparent shift of the position of part of straw under water and thus the part appears broken.

What's the frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 10 and velocity of 200m/s?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 20 \ Hz}}

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found using the following formula.

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where <em>f</em> is the frequency, <em>v</em> is the velocity/wave speed, and λ is the wavelength.

The wavelength is 10 meters and the velocity is 200 meters per second.

  • 1 m/s can also be written as 1 m*s^-1

Therefore:

v= 200 \ m*s^{-1} \\\lambda = 10 \ m

Substitute the values into the formula.

f=\frac{200 \ m*s^{-1}}{10 \ m}

Divide and note that the meters (m) will cancel each other out.

f=\frac{200 \ s^{-1}}{10 \ }

f=20 \ s^{-1}

  • 1 s^-1 is equal to Hertz
  • Therefore, our answer of 20 s^-1 is equal to 20 Hz

f= 20 \ Hz

The frequency of the wave is <u>20 Hertz</u>

A charged particle is accelerated in a uniform electric field. When its velocity is 2 m/s, its electric potential energy is 100
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

particle's potential energy = 70J

Explanation:

From conservation of energy; K1 + Ue1 = K2 + Ue2

where K1 and K2 are the kinetic energies at two positions and Ue1 and Uue2 are the electrical potential energies at two positions.

k1 = 10J, Ue1 = 100J

K2 = 40J

substitute into K1 + Ue1 = K2 + Ue2

Ue2 = K1 + Ue1 - K2

= 10 +100 - 40

Ue2 = 70J
