Answer:

The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater optical density.

The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.

Explanation:

- When a ray of light crosses a boundary between two different materials, it undergoes refraction: the ray changes direction, and it also changes speed, according to the relationship:

v=\frac{c}{n}

where v is the speed of the ray of light in the material, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, n is the index of refraction of the material, which is larger for a medium with larger optical density. So, from the equation, we see that the larger the optical density, the smaller the speed of the wave.

- The frequency of the light does not depend on the properties of the medium, so it remains unchanged: therefore the statement

The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.

is correct.

- Moreover, the wavelength of the ray of light is related to the speed and the frequency by the equation

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

where v is the speed and f the frequency. Since we have seen that v decreases and f remains constant, this means that the wavelength decreases as well, so the statement

The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater optical density.

is also correct.

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

D) 11 m/s

Explanation:

The problem asks us to calculate the velocity of the hot dog with respect to the observer stationary outside the train. This velocity is given by:

v=v_t + v_m + v_h

where

v_t=+10 m/s is the velocity of the train (towards right)

v_m=+2 m/s is the velocity of the man (towards right)

v_h=-1 m/s is the velocity of the hot-dog (towards left, so we put a negative sign)

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

v=+10 m/s+2 m/s-1 m/s=+11 m/s

and the positive sign means the velocity is toward right.

A bucket of mass M (when empty) initially at rest and containing a mass of water is being pulled up a well by a rope exerting a
Naily [24]

Answer:

V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT

Explanation:

Given that

Constant rate of leak =R

Mass at time T ,m=RT

At any time t

The mass = Rt

So the total mass in downward direction=(M+Rt)

Now force equation

(M+Rt) a =P- (M+Rt) g

a=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g

We know that

a=\dfrac{dV}{dt}

\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g

\int_{0}^{V}V=\int_0^T \left(\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g\right)dt

V=\dfrac{P}{R}\ ln\dfrac{M+RT}{M}-gT

V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT

This is the velocity of bucket at the instance when it become empty.

astraxan [27]
Einstein's theory of General Relativity states that space-time is able to be warped in the presence of mass or energy.  This warping is what "tells" matter how to move in its presence.  In the paraphrased words of physicist John Wheeler, matter tells space-time how to warp, and warped space-time tells matter how to move.
