That's one result of "refraction".
mamaluj [8]3 years ago
3 0

Refraction is the process in which light  will bend away or towards the normal at the point of incidence when light comes from one optical medium to another optical medium.

During sunset, sun is still visible after it has dropped below the horizon.It is so because the light coming from sun is refracted when it passes through the atmosphere.

Our atmosphere has not a constant density.It varies depending its position from earth surface. Hence, refractive index of each layer of atmosphere varies which results in the refraction of sun light for which sun is visible though it is geometrically below the horizon.


Hence, the correct answer to the question is refraction.

An object is thrown upwards with a velocity of 3 meters per second, such that the only force acting on it is gravity (accelerati
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Correct answer:  A.)  V = - 16.6 m/s down

Explanation:

Given:

V₀ = 3 m/s  initial velocity

t = 2 seconds

g = 9.8 m/s²

V(t) = V(2) = ?

The movement described is a vertical upward shot

For velocity at any time is valid the next formula

V = V₀ - g · t

V = 3 - (9.8 · 2) = 3 - 19.6 = - 16.6 m/s down

Under condition that it has a enough drop height with respect to the ejection point.

God is with you!!!

What will be the density of the air if the radius of the cylinder is halved while the length is unchanged?
pickupchik [31]

If the radius of the cylinder is halved and length is kept unchanged then the density of air inside the cylinder will increase.

As it can be said that density is inversely proportion to the square of the radius.

Density of Cylinder

Density is the ratio of mass to volume.

The formula for density is: ρ= m/v.

The formula for the Mean Density of a cylinder is:

                                         ρ= m/ (π•r²•h)

where:

ρ is the density of the cylinder

m is the mass of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

So, with increase in radius the of the cylinder there is decrease in the density of cylinder.

And on decreasing the radius of the cylinder there is increase in the density of the cylinder.

As it can be said that density is inversely proportion to the square of the radius.
