The oceanic crust slides under the continental crust due to the differences in their densities. The continental rust is more felsic (contains more silica) which makes it lighter than the oceanic crust which is more mafic (contains more fe and mg)<span />

In a circuit with one 12.0 resistor, a current of 0.500 A is flowing. This circuit is powered by a single
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

6 V

Explanation:

In a circuit, the relationship between voltage, current and resistance is given by Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this circuit, we have

R=12.0\Omega is the resistance

I = 0.500 A

so we can find the voltage of the battery by using Ohm's law:

V=(12.0 \Omega)(0.500 A)=6 V

Explain why there is total internal reflection in an optical fibres
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The optical fibers are thin, thus, the light entering from one side of the wire surface has more chances to reflect back from the inside surface due to the larger angle of incidence.

The angle of the strike is large due to the small size of the wire and this angle is greater than the critical angle.

As the angle of the incident light on the inside surface is greater than the critical angle, thus, the total internal reflection of the takes place.

Hence, there are more chances of total internal reflection of light inside the optical fiber wire than the emergence of light through the wire.
