What occurs when light bends while passing from one medium to another?

Levart [38]

Answer:So the answer is B

Explanation: When the light rays either bend or change their direction while passing from one medium to another it is called refraction of light. The refraction of light takes place when light travels from air into glass, from glass into air, from air into water or from water into air.

About 65 million years ago an asteroid struck Earth in the area of the Yucatán Peninsula and wiped out the dinosaurs and many ot

9966 [12]

Answer:

$2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3$

29010.53917 m

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of asteroid = 2 g/cm³

V = Volume

d = Diameter = 10 km

r = Radius = $\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5\ km$

v = Velocity = 11 km/s

$H_v$ = Heat vaporization of water = $2.26\times 10^6\ J/kg$

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = 100-20

Mass is given by

$m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=\rho\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\Rightarrow m=2000\dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi\times 5000^3\\\Rightarrow m=1.0472\times 10^{15}\ kg$

The kinetic energy is

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}1.0472\times 10^{15}\times 11000^2\\\Rightarrow K=6.33556\times 10^{22}\ J$

Heat is given by

$Q=mc\Delta T+mH_v\\\Rightarrow 6.33556\times 10^{22}=m\times (4186\times (100-20)+2.26\times 10^6)\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{ 6.33556\times 10^{22}}{4186\times (100-20)+2.26\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow m=2.44156\times 10^{16}\ kg$

Mass of water is $2.44156\times 10^{16}\ kg$

Volume is $\dfrac{2.44156\times 10^{16}}{10^3}=2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3$

Amount of water is $2.44156\times 10^{13}\ m^3$

If it were a cube

$h=V^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow h=(2.44156\times 10^{13})^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow h=29010.53917\ m$

The height of the water would be 29010.53917 m

If a nearsighted person has a far point df that is 3.50 m from the eye, what is the focal length f1 of the contact lenses that t

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

f1 = -3.50 m

Explanation:

For a nearsighted person an object at infinity must be made to appear to be at his far point which is 3.50 m away. The image of an object at infinity must be formed on the same side of the lens as the object.

∴ v = -3.5 m

Using mirror formula,

i/f1 = 1/v + 1/u

Where f1 = focal length of the contact lens, v = image distance = -3.5 m, u = object distance = at infinity(∞) = 1/0

∴ 1/f1 = (1/-3.5) + 1/infinity

Note that, 1/infinity = 1/(1/0) = 0/1 =0.

∴ 1/f1 = 1/(-3.5) + 0

1/f1 = 1/(-3.5)

Solving the equation by finding the inverse of both side of the equation.

∴ f1 = -3.50 m

Therefore a converging lens of focal length f1 = -3.50 m

would be needed by the person to see an object at infinity clearly

A wave traveling in water has a frequency of 500.0 Hz and a wavelength of 3.00 m. What is the speed of the wave?

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

1500 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that for a wave,

Speed = frequency x wavelength

here we are given frequency = 500 Hz and wavelength = 3m

simply substitute into above equation

Speed = 500 Hz x 3m

= 1500 m/s
