Answer:
The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
Explanation:
Refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the boundary between two mediums.
When a ray of light is refracted, it changes speed and direction, according to Snell's Law:
where
:
is the index of refraction of the 1st medium
is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium
is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)
is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)
In this problem, we have a ray of light passing from air into clear plastic. We have:
(index of refraction of air)
approx. (index of refraction in clear plastic)
Snell's Law can be rewritten as
And since 
, we have
And so
Which means that
The angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
We can define power as the rate of doing work, it is the work done in unit time. The SI unit of power is Watt (W) which is joules per second (J/s). Sometimes the power of motor vehicles and other machines are given in terms of Horsepower (hp) which is approximately equal to 745.7 watts.
Power is the rate at which a force is applied to an object for example.current wire
The current is defined as the amount of charge transferred through a certain point in a certain time interval:
where
I is the current
Q is the charge
is the time interval
For the lightning bolt in our problem, Q=6.0 C and
, so the average current during the event is
Light travels in waves AND in bundles called "photons".
It's hard to imagine something that's a wave and also a bundle.
But it turns out that light behaves like both waves and bundles.
If you design an experiment to detect waves, then it responds to light.
And if you design an experiment to detect 'bundles' or particles, then
that one also responds to light.
Any ride that oscillates back and forth or moves only in a complete circle utilizes periodic motion.
