sergey [27]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Refracted rays travel through a boundary into a new medium.

Explanation:

Refracted rays travel through a boundary into a new medium. is only true for refraction.

The angle of incidence is the same for angle of refraction, is not true for refraction. Refraction follows Snell's law, states that ratio of the sine of the angle of refraction and the sine of the angle of incidence is always constant and equivalent to the ratio of phase velocities of the two mediums it is passing through.

Refracted rays change direction and go back to the original medium is false for refraction however, it is true for reflection.

1. Determine the magnitude of two equal but opposite charges if they attract one another with a force of 0.7N when at distance o
adell [148]

Answer:

q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

        F =k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

In this case they indicate that the load is of equal magnitude

       q₁ = q₂ = q

the force is attractive because the signs of the charges are opposite

       F = k \ \frac{q^2}{r^2}

       q = \sqrt{\frac{F \ r^2}{k} }

we calculate

        q = \sqrt{\frac{0.7 \ 0.3^2 }{9 \ 10^9}  }

        q = \sqrt{7 \ 10^{-12} }Ra 7 10-12

        q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C

The velocity of the wave involved in the Doppler effect:
Margarita [4]

The Doppler Effect provides the equation for the calculation of apparent frequency:

f=fo[vo/(vo-vr)] 

where:<span>
vo=source wave velocity 
vr=relative speed between source and observer 
f=apparent frequency 
fo=source frequency </span>

<span>
The velocity of the doppler wave is 
v=λf</span>

where λ is light wavelength. Hence,

v=λfo[vo/(vo-vr)] 

Based on the equation, we can say that wave velocity will always be defined by one and only one wavelength.

Therefore the answer is letter C.

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of
madam [21]

Answer:

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of gas or liquid particles. How does this happen? As a gas or liquid is heated, the substance expands. This is because the particles in liquids and gases gain kinetic energy when they are heated and start to move faster.

A guitarist finds that the pitch of one of her strings is slightly flat—the frequency is a bit too low. Should she increase or d
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The guitarist should increase the tension of the string.

Explanation:

The frequency of a vibrating string is determined by fn=(n/(2L))√T/μ. So if the tension in the string increased, the rate at which it vibrates (the frequency) will also increase.

Therefore it is advisable that she increase the tension of the string.

I hope it helps, please give brainliest if it does
