Compare and contrast between reflection and refraction

Physics
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago
3 0

Differences:

<u>Reflection</u> is described as the reverting back of light or sound waves in the same medium, when it falls on plane.

<u>Refraction</u> means the shift in direction of the radio waves, when it enters medium with different density.

Comparisons:

<u>Reflection and refraction</u> <em>both</em> change the direction of light and both <em>do not </em>absorb light. All light waves can be reflected and refracted.

Both <u>Reflection and Refraction</u> are phenomenon related with wave motion of sound, and electromagnetic waves, thus including light.

You are conducting an experiment inside an elevator that can move in a vertical shaft. A load is hung vertically from the ceilin
Ivan

Answer: The elevator must be accelerating.

Explanation:

As the tension force is opposing to the the force of gravity on the load which is hung vertically, and the tension force can adopt any value in order to comply with Newton's 2nd law, if the tension force is less than the force due to gravity, this means that all system is not in equilibrium, so it must be accelerating.

If we assume that the downward is the positive direction, we can write:

mg - T = ma

If T = 0.9 mg, ⇒ mg (1-0.9) =0.1 mg = m a ⇒a = 0.1 g , in downward direction.
