Explanation :

Light shows many different types of phenomena like the reflection of light, refraction of light etc.

Refraction of light is the phenomena of bending of light when it passes from one medium to another. This is due to the difference in the refractive indices of two media.

Refractive index is given by :

$n=\dfrac{c}{v}$

c is the speed of light in vacuum

v is the speed of the light in a medium.

So, refraction occurs when a wave changes its speed.

Hence, the correct option is (D) "speed".

A 3kg box has 45J of gravitational potential energy, how high is it off the ground?

frez [133]

Answer:

1.53m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of box = 3kg

Gravitational potential energy = 45J

Unknown

Height of the box = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

Gravitational potential energy = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

45 = 3 x 9.8 x h

h = 1.53m

A sinusoidal sound wave moves through a medium and is described by the displacement wave function

labwork [276]

By applying the wave equation we know that the displacement on the y-axis is 1.999 micrometers.

We need to know about wave equations to solve this problem. The displacement of the wave on the y-axis can be explained by the wave equation

y = A cos (kx - ωt)

where y is y-axis displacement, A is amplitude, k is wave number, x is x-axis displacement, ω is angular speed and t is time.

the wavenumber and angular speed of the wave equation can be determined respectively by

k = 2π / λ

ω = 2πf

where k is the wavenumber, λ is wavelength and f is frequency.

From the question above, we know that:

y = 2.00cos (15.7x - 858t)

(x in meters, t in second, y in micrometers)

x = 0.05 m

t = 3 ms

Convert time to second

t = 3ms = 0.003 s

By applying the wave equation, we get

y = 2.00cos (15.7x - 858t)

y = 2.00cos (15.7(0.05) - 858(0.003))

y = 2 cos(-1.789)

y = 1.999 micrometers

HURRY I NEED IT NOW What is the density at 20oC of 12.0 milliliters of a liquid that has a mass of 4.05 grams?

zzz [600]

Density is the mass per unit volume of any object. It is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. This is:

ρ = m/V

ρ = 4.05 g / 12 mL

ρ = 0.3375 g/mL

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

Nata [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.
