As light travels through a medium, it moves in a straight line path,but when light passes from one medium into another medium, the light path bends,Refraction takes place.

Glass is a denser medium(medium in which particles are close to each other) whereas air is rarer medium(medium in which particles are far away from each other). Whenever light rays travel from rarer to denser medium, speed of light decreases. This is because, in denser medium, light rays interact with more particles and due to this there is a time delay. Geometrically,When light rays enter glass or any other denser medium, it bends towards the normal of denser medium because refractive index of glass is more than that of air. Finally, when light ray travels from glass to air, the emergent ray will be parallel(it is not exactly parallel and this is due to curvature of space-time. But the deviation is negligible in all the geometrical optiks experiment) to the incident ray because light ray travels in the same medium i.e air.

By how much does the gravitational potential energy of a 54-kg pole vaulter change if her center of mass rises about 4.0 m durin
kodGreya [7K]
<span>the gravational potential energy of anything on the ground is zero. When calculating potential energy you take height in meters and multiply it by the mass of the object in kilograms and the acceleration of gravity to get a new unit called Joules. Any object at ground level has a potential energy of zero newtons becuase anything multiplied by zero is zero. An object with mass of 54 kg, 4 meters above the ground has a gravitatinal potential energy of 2116.8 Joules.</span>

Katena32 [7]
B. venus. although mercury is closest to the sun, venus is hotter, day & night. heat can escape mercury which is why it gets cold despite being so close to the sun. however venus is hottest because whenever heat gets there it never leaves due to the atmosphere venus has.
