Differences:

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

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

Comparisons:

Reflection and refraction both change the direction of light and both do not absorb light. All light waves can be reflected and refracted.

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

Two coaxial conducting cylindrical shells have equal and opposite charges. The inner shell has charge +q and an outer radius a,

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

$\Delta V = \frac{q ln(\frac{b}{a})}{2\pi \epsilon_0 L}$

Explanation:

As we know that the charge per unit length of the long cylinder is given as

$\lambda = \frac{q}{L}$

here we know that the electric field between two cylinders is given by

$E = \frac{2k\lambda}{r}$

now we know that electric potential and electric field is related to each other as

$\Delta V = - \int E.dr$

$\Delta V = -\int_a^b (\frac{2k\lambda}{r})dr$

$\Delta V = -2k \lambda ln(\frac{b}{a})$

$\Delta V = \frac{\lambda ln(\frac{b}{a})}{2\pi \epsilon_0}$

$\Delta V = \frac{q ln(\frac{b}{a})}{2\pi \epsilon_0 L}$

Two light bulbs are wired in series and one bulb burns out (opens.) Technician A says that the other bulb will still work. Techn

Radda [10]

Answer:

Neither technician

Explanation:

Neither technician is correct.

two bulbs are connected in series one bulb burn out

If one bulb in the series burns out then the circuit will break.

In a series circuit same current passes each resistor.

so, both the technician is incorrect bulb B will not work and current will not increase in the other bulb.

In 2 1/2 hours an airplane travels 1150 km against the wind. It takes 50 min to travel 450 km with the wind. Find the speed of t

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Velocity of airplane is 500 km/h

Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

Explanation:

$V_a$ = Velocity of airplane in still air

$V_w$ = Velocity of wind

Time taken by plane to travel 1150 km against the wind is 2.5 hours

$V_a-V_w=\frac {1150}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=460\quad (1)$

Time taken by plane to travel 450 km against the wind is 50 minutes = 50/60 hours

$V_a+V_w=\frac {450}{50}\times 60\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=540\quad (2)$

Subtracting the two equations we get

$V_a-V_w-V_a-V_w=460-540\\\Rightarrow -2V_w=-80\\\Rightarrow V_w=40\ km/h$

Applying the value of velocity of wind to the first equation

$V_a-40=460\\\Rightarrow V_a =500\ km/h$

∴ Velocity of airplane in still air is 500 km/h and Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

Describe the Pascal's principles

boyakko [2]

Explanation:

Pascal's principle, also called Pascal's law, in fluid (gas or liquid) mechanics, statement that, in a fluid at rest in a closed container, a pressure change in one part is transmitted without loss to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the container.
