Why does refracting light bend when it enters a denser or less dense medium?

Physics
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: The light bends because light travels fast but it slows down in a denser medium. For example light refracts in water or it bends after passing through air. When light passes through air ( a less dense medium ) then through water ( a more dense medium ) the beam of light bends because light travels more slowly in a denser medium then it picks up its pace again once it passes. The density of the substance determines how much the light is refracted. I hope this makes sense and I hope this answered your question!! :)

A wave propagates at a well defined velocity that depends on the properties of the medium that carries the wave. True or false?
likoan [24]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A wave is generated as a result of oscillations which creates disturbances in the medium and these disturbances termed as waves propagates or travels from one point to another.

Waves can be classifies as:

Mechanical waves which requires material medium for their propagation

Electromagnetic waves which do not require any material medium to propagate.

A wave travels at a specific velocity depending on the type of the medium in which it propagates.

crowbar of 5 metre is used to lift an object of 800 metre if the effort arm is 200cm calculate the force applied​
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

 F = 5226.6 N

Explanation:

To solve a lever, the rotational equilibrium relation must be used.

We place the reference system on the fulcrum (pivot point) and assume that the positive direction is counterclockwise

         F d₁ = W d₂

where F is the applied force, W is the weight to be lifted, d₁ and d₂ are the distances from the fulcrum.

In this case the length of the lever is L = 5m, t the distance desired by the fulcrum from the weight to be lifted is

d₂ = 200 cm = 2 m

therefore the distance to the applied force is

          d₁ = L -d₂

         d₁ = 5 -2

         d₁= 3m

we clear from the equation

          F = W d₂ / d₁

          W = m g

          F = m g d₂ / d₁

we calculate

      F = 800 9.8 2/3

      F = 5226.6 N
