How does refraction support the particle theory of light? Particles bounce off surfaces similar to the way in which a ball bounc

es off a wall. Light slows down and bends when it moves from a less dense to a more dense medium. Forces act on the particles to push or pull them from one medium to another. As light passes through an opening, it spreads out in all directions.

Forces act on the particles to push or pull them from one medium to another.

Shalnov [3]3 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is "Forces act on the particles to push or pull them from one medium to another".

Explanation:

Refraction: It is the phenomenon in which light gets bend while travelling from one medium to the another due to change in the speed of light.

In this phenomenon, the light gets bend towards the normal when the light rays is travelling from rarer medium to denser medium. The light gets bend away from the normal when the light rays is travelling from denser medium to rarer medium.

Reflection: It is the phenomenon in which the light rays bounce back from the surface without getting absorbed.

Therefore, the correct option is "Forces act on the particles to push or pull them from one medium to another".

Answer:

The correct wording is

  1. Pressure increases with the depth of the fluid.
  2. A plane's engines produce thrust to push the plane forward.
  3. A fluid can be a liquid or a gas.
  4. A hydraulic device uses Pascal's principle to lift or move objects.
  5. lift is the upward force exerted on objects by fluids.

Explanation:

1. As you go deeper into a fluid,<em> there is more of it on top of you; </em>therefore, the pressure excreted on you is greater.

2. A plane's engines pushes the air in opposite direction, which according to newton's third law, produces necessary force to move the plane forward.

3.  <em>A fluid has no fixed shape,</em> and it deforms under the influence of external forces applied—liquid and gases fit into this definition.

4. Pascal's principle <em>says that pressure applied on one region of the fluid must equal pressure transmitted to another region of the same fluid</em>. This principle is used in a hydraulic device to exert forces on fluids to lift objects that would otherwise be difficult to move.

5. By definition, the upward force exerted by the fluids on objects is the lift.

A dog walks along The ground. If the dog applies an action force on the ground, what is the reaction force?
fiasKO [112]

Explanation:

Action and reaction are two forces that are equal in magnitude but the direction is opposite.

When a dog walks along the ground, the action force is the force that dog applies on the ground. On the other hand, the reaction force is the force that the ground applies on the dog. It is based on Newton's third law of motion.

What happens when a roller coaster car moves down from the top of a hill?
VLD [36.1K]
When the roller coaster moves down from the top of the hill, all of its stored potential energy is converted into kinetic energy to move it and when it goes back up the hill it turns kinetic into potential.
