Which term best describes the process that occurs when light passes through a lens? A. reflection B. refraction C. resonance D.

Elza [17]

A. Refraction, meaning the same thing...it just passes through. Reflection is when light, heat, or sound bounces off a surface, kind of like an echo. Resonance is sound reverberating, or vibrating. And polarization is the action of not allowing the vibrations of a transverse wave. Hoped this helps you :)

Short answer: Refraction

If a spring has a spring constant of 5 N/m and it is stretched 20 cm, what is the force of the Spring

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

1 N

Explanation:

First the equation is momentum = Force / distance

20 cm = 0.2 m

5 N/m = F / 0.2 m

F = 1 N

Oxygen and hydrogen are kept under the same temperature and pressure. Oxygen molecule is 16 times more massive than hydrogen one

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The average speed of molecule of oxygen is one-fourth of the speed of the hydrogen molecule.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of gas molecule is given by following equation:

$K.E = \frac{3}{2} KT$

Since the temperature (T) is constant for both molecules. Therefore, there kinetic energies will also be the same. Therefore,

$K.E_{O_2} = K.E_{H_2}\\\frac{1}{2}m_{O_2}v_{O_2}^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_{H_2}v_{H_2}^2 \\\\but,\\\\m_{O_2} = 16m_{H_2}\\\\therefore,\\16 m_{H_2}v_{O_2}^2 = m_{H_2}v_{H_2}^2\\\\\\taking square root on both sides, we get:\\4v_{O_2} = v_{H_2}\\\\v_{O_2} = \frac{v_{H_2}}{4}$

<u>The average speed of molecule of oxygen is one-fourth of the speed of the hydrogen molecule.</u>
