The gravitational force between two objects is determined by

-- the product of their masses, and

-- the distance between their centers.

If you want to keep the gravitational force between two objects unchanged, then you can make changes to the mass of one object, the mass of the other object, and the distance between them, BUT you have to be very careful to always keep the quantity

(one mass) x (the other mass) / (the distance)²

the same, unchanged number. This means that if you change one thing, you'll have to change something else to keep that expression constant.

For example: If one of the masses suddenly somehow becomes 4 times as great, then you can EITHER change the other mass to 1/4 of its original mass, OR move the two objects twice as far apart.

Looking straight downward into a rain puddle whose surface is covered with a thin film of gasoline, you notice a swirling patter

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

Point beneath you forms a beautiful iridescent green

refractive index of Gasoline $n=1.38$

Wavelength of Green light is $\lambda =540\ nm$

Here light first traverse from air(n=1) to gasoline , it reflects from front surface of gasoline(n=1.38) so it suffers a phase change. After this light reflect from rear surface of gasoline and there is a decrease in refractive index(n=1.38 to n=1.33), so there is no phase change occurs .

For constructive interference

$2t=(m+\frac{1}{2})\cdot \frac{\lambda }{n}$

here t= thickness of gasoline film

n=refractive index

for $m=0$

$t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}$

$t=\frac{540}{4\times 1.38}$

$t=97.82\approx 98\ nm$

Which describes why people on earth can see light from the stars in the sky that are so far away?

Ugo [173]

Yes, C is correct. It self explains itself as we know light travels through a vacuum ( doesn't need a medium) and light is a type of electromagnetic wave.
