When passing from a low index of refraction medium to a high index of refraction medium which way does the refracted ray bend: t

oward the normal or away? Explain.
Physics

Vaselesa [24]3 years ago

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.

How does the speed of an object relate to the energy of the object
Ann [662]

Answer:

Increasing the speed of an object decreases its motion energy. Increasing the speed of an object increases its motion energy. Increasing the speed of an object does not affect its motion energy. Whether or not its motion energy is affected depends on how much its speed was increased.

The period of an oscillating particle is 32 s, and its amplitude is 15 cm. at t = 0, it is at its equilibrium position. find the
morpeh [17]

At t=0, the particle was at its equilibrium position. The time period is 32 seconds, so in 8 seconds, it will reach the extreme location once, and hence, in 8 seconds, it will cover a distance equivalent to its amplitude.
