Physics

Answer:

toward the normal

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

Light travels at a slower speed in water as compared to air because there are more number of interfering molecules in the path of the light in case of water as compared to liquid.  

When a light travels from lower denser medium say water to higher denser medium say water, it bends towards the perpendicular (normal) as its speed reduces in that medium.

An enormous thunderstorm covers Dallas-Ft. Worth. Your best friend Clark is a storm chaser and heads to the center of the storm
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

t = 0.437 s

Explanation:

The speed of sound is a constant that is worth v = 343 m / s

           v = d / t

            t = d / v

the time it takes for the sound to reach Clark at d = 150 m is

           t = 150/343

           t = 0.437 s

This same sound takes much longer to reach you

          t₂ = 127 10³/343

          t₂ = 370 s
