Answer:

Advantage:  

Apparent solar time gives the exact location of sun in the sky according to your precise location.

Disadvantage:  

As the apparent solar time changes with the change in longitude. It is very difficult to track these changes in longitude. Hence, it is almost impossible to make plan for events.

Improvement in situation:

Situation can be improved using mean solar time because due to this people living in the longitude band agree upon a standard time. In this way, it is easy to plan for events.

Why do the lights in your home come on almost instantaneously when you turn on the switch?
arlik [135]

Answer:

here you go

Explanation:

Why do your lights actually come on almost instantaneously? ... Wiring the house in parallel does not make a difference – there is no current flowing through the light bulb when the switch is off no matter how the house is wired. If there were a current already, the light would be on!

If given both the speed of light in a material and an incident angle. How can you find the refracted angle?
Basile [38]

Answer:

r = Sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{v Sini}{c} \right )

Explanation:

Let the speed of light in vacuum is c and the speed of light in medium is v. Let the angle of incidence is i.

By using the definition of refractive index

refractive index of the medium is given by

n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

n = c / v  ..... (1)

Use Snell's law

n = Sin i / Sin r

Where, r be the angle of refraction

From equation (1)

c / v = Sin i / Sin r

Sin r = v Sin i / c

r = Sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{v Sini}{c} \right )

A ray of light is traveling from water into a diamond. Upon hitting the diamond, a light ray bends toward the normal. With this
Flura [38]
As the light pass through different media, it experiences a refraction. This is a phenomenon where the speed and direction of light changes. If the ray of light moves towards the normal line, the angle is decreased. So, is the speed of that light.

Question 14 Unsaved
defon

The correct answer is I disagree. Elements form all pure substances, but some pure substances include elements bonded together to form molecules and compounds.

Elements are pure substances but these elements also make other things such as water. The water molecule is made of two elements called oxygen and Hydrogen. Now water itself is a pure substance as it is chemically bonded hydrogen and Oxygen but it is composed of more than one element
