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.

All of the following equations are statements of the ideal gas law except
elena55 [62]

Answer:

a. P = nRTV

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

"All of the following equations are statements of the ideal gas law except a. P = nRTV b. PV/T = nR c. P/n = RT/v d. R = PV/nT"

Ideal gas equation is an equation that describes the nature of an ideal gas. The molecule of an ideal gas moves at a particular velocity depending on the temperature. This gases collides with one another elastically. The collision that an ideal gas experience is a perfectly elastic collision.

The ideal gas equation is expressed as shown:

PV = nRT where:

P is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the temperature.

Based on the formula given for an ideal gas, it can be inferred that the equation. P = nRTV is not a statement of an ideal gas equation.

The remaining option will results to an ideal gas equation if they are cross multipled.

Blake and Sandra are having a rummage sale. Blake drags 3 boxes a distance of 10 meters each. He exerts a force of 20 newtons on
vampirchik [111]
For Blake:

3 boxes at a distance of 10 meters each, each box weighs 20 N

Work done by Blake = 3 * 10m * 20N
                                 = 600 J
Power = 600 J/ 2 min
           = 300 J/min

For Sandra:

4 boxes, 15 N each at a distance of 12 meters each. 

Work done by Sandra = 4 * 15 N *12m
                                    =  720 J
Power = 720 J/ 4 min
           = 180 J/min

Blake does less work than Sandra. 
Blake's power is more than Sandra's.

Daffy Duck is standing 6.8 m away from Minnie Duck. The attractive gravitational force between them is 5.4x10-8 N. If Daffy Duck
artcher [175]

Answer:

432.78 Kg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance apart (r) = 6.8 m

Force of attraction (F) = 5.4×10¯⁸ N

Mass of Daffy Duck (M₁) = 86.5 kg

Mass of Minnie Duck (M₂) =?

NOTE: Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

The mass of Minnie Duck can be obtained as follow:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

5.4×10¯⁸ = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5 × M₂ / 6.8²

5.4×10¯⁸ = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5 × M₂ / 46.24

Cross multiply

6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5 × M₂ =5.4×10¯⁸ × 46.24

Divide both side by 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5

M₂ = 5.4×10¯⁸ × 46.24 / 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5

M₂ = 432.78 Kg

Therefore, the mass of Minnie Duck is 432.78 Kg
