Answer:

The direction of the force will be towards the east

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The direction of the  downward

Generally according to Fleming's right-hand rule(

          Thumb -  direction of force

           Middle finger -  direction of current

           Index finger -  direction of the magnetic field

) and the fact that the earth magnetic field acts  from south to north with respect to the four cardinal points then the direction of the  force will be toward the east with respect to the four cardinal point on the earth

How does the bending of light depend on the two media?
erica [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The two media must have differing index of refraction.

Index of refraction is an indication of how fast light can move through the media.

If a light wave approaches an interface at an angle and the media the light is moving into has a higher index of refraction meaning slower light speed in the media, then the part of the wave front hitting first gets slowed down sooner. As each section of the wave front crosses the interface, the whole wave front has changed direction toward the side with the first drag. Much like a column of marching soldiers executing a slight turn each at the precise moment to keep both columns and lined up in "military precision"

If the media the light is moving into has a smaller index of refraction, meaning higher light speed, then the side of the light beam hitting the interface first speeds up before the opposite side of the beam. This makes the angle leaving the interface much closer to the interface surface than the angle inside the higher index media. There becomes a point called the critical angle where the light cannot exit the higher index of refraction and the condition of total internal reflection exists. Think fiber optic cable which can transmit signals hundreds of miles without significant loss.
