Oil is optically denser than water. When sound/light goes from optically denser medium to optically rarer medium, their velocity increase and they moves away for normal.

<h3><u>Appropriate</u><u> </u><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h3>

The sound wave speeds up and bends

\Large{ \underline{ \boxed{ \pink{ \bf{Option \: (D)}}}}}

As, In optics we learnt that light undergoes refraction when travels from medium of different densities. Similarly, Sound also follows the law of refraction.

  • It is due to the change of speed of water in different mediums, This makes it speed up or down depending upon the medium and their densities.

What are similarities and differences of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class levers?
lbvjy [14]
Similarities:
-- All three classes have a fulcrum (pivot).
-- All three classes have a point where the effort force is applied.
-- All three classes have a point where the load or resistance force is applied.
-- If you can find a place to stand and a lever that's long enough,
then you can move the Earth with a 1st or 2nd Class lever.

Differences:
-- The mechanical advantage of a 1st Class lever
can be greater than 1, equal to 1, or less than 1.
-- The mechanical advantage of a 2nd Class lever is always more than 1 .
-- The mechanical advantage of a 3rd Class lever is always less than 1 .

Magnitude: Magnitude generally refers to the quantity or distance.

Attraction: A force that makes things move together and stay together.

Repulsive: The feeling of being repelled, as by the thought or presence of something; distaste, repugnance, or aversion.

Current: Current is the rate of flow of electric charge. A potential difference (voltage) across an electrical component is needed to make a current flow through it.

I hope that helps :]

The three different states of matter are liquid, solid, and gas. A solid is something you can hold in your fingers, while a liqu
nika2105 [10]

The answer is C. that liquids and gases both take the shape of their container.  

Think of it this way, if you take an ice cube and put it in your glass, it will stay in its shape and stay that way until it melts.  But if you put liquid or a gas into a glass, it will take the shape of the glass that it is put into.

What is a characteristic of a gas?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Gases have three characteristic properties: 1. they are easy to compress, 2. they expand to fill their containers, and 3.they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form. Compressibility. An internal combustion engine provides a good example of the ease with which gases can be compressed.
