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".

An astronaut on the moon places a package on a scale and finds its weight to be 10. N. () What would the weight of the package
jeka94

Answer:

(a) 61.25 N

(b) 6.25 kg

(c) 6.25 Kg

Explanation:

Weight on moon = 10 N

Acceleration due to gravity on moon = 1.6 m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s^2

Let m be the mass of the package.

(a) Weight on earth = mass x acceleration due to gravity on earth

Weight on earth = 6.25 x 9.8 = 61.25 N

(b) Weight on moon = mass x acceleration due to gravity on moon

10 = m x 1.6

m = 6.25 kg

(c) Mass of the package remains same as mass does not change, so the mass of package on earth is 6.25 kg.

Does a light bulb with a greater wattage have a greater brightness
Tamiku [17]
Only within the same technology. / / / If both of the bulbs you're comparing are incandescent, or both fluorescent, or both CFL, or both LED, then the one that uses more power is brighter. But a CFL with the same brightness as an incandescent bulb uses less power, and an LED bulb with the same brightness as both of those uses less power than either of them.
