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!! :)

Air resistance is a fluid type of friction. <br><br> TRUE OR FALSE
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation: Air resistance (also called drag) is a type of frictional force. Like all frictional forces, the force of air resistance always opposes the motion of an object. Usually, the air resistance force is not very strong.

Two light bulbs are being used in a lab experiment with a single battery. Bulb A has half the resistance as Bulb B. Which bulb i
Naya [18.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

It is given that bulb A has the half the resistance as B

WHEN THEY ARE CONNECTED IN SERIES : In series circuit we know that current is same in the whole circuit

The power is given by P=i^2R the expression it is clear that the bulb which has more resistance consume more power as current is same, and the bulb which consume more power will be brightest

It is given that resistance of bulb A is half the resistance of B So bulb A will be dimmest in this case

WHEN THEY ARE CONNECTED IN PARALLEL : In parallel circuit voltage is same across the circuit

The power is given by P=\frac{V^2}{R} from the expression it is clear that the bulb which has least resistance will consume more power and so will be brightest

As the resistance of bulb A is less so it will be brightest in this case
