<h2>Answer: c. Refraction</h2>

Refraction is a phenomenon in which a light wave bends or changes its direction when passing through a medium with a <u>refractive index</u> different from the other medium.  

Being the <u>refractive index</u> n is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material, and is defined as the relation between the speed of light in vacuum (c=3(10)^{8}m/s) and the speed of light v in the second medium:

n=\frac{c}{v}

It is important to note that in this process, the wavelength may be modified because it depends on the medium, however, the refracted ray of light does not change its frequency.

A long, straight, cylindrical wire of radius R carries a current uniformly distributed over its cross section.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall solve this question with the help of Ampere's circuital law.

Ampere's ,law

∫ B dl = μ₀ I , B is magnetic field at distance x from the axis within wire

we shall find magnetic field at distance x . current enclosed in the area of circle of radius x

=  I x π x²  / π R²

= I x²  /  R²

B x 2π x = μ₀  x current enclosed

B x 2π x = μ₀  x  I x²  /  R²

B =  μ₀   I x  / 2π R²

Maximum magnetic B₀ field  will be when x = R

B₀ = μ₀I   / 2π R

Given

B = B₀ / 3

μ₀   I x  / 2π R² = μ₀I   / 2π R x 3

x = R / 3

b ) The largest value of magnetic field is on the surface of wire

B₀ = μ₀I   / 2π R

At distance x outside , let magnetic field be B

Applying Ampere's circuital law

∫ B dl = μ₀ I

B x 2π x = μ₀ I

B = μ₀ I / 2π x

Given B = B₀ / 3

μ₀ I / 2π x = μ₀I   / 2π R x 3

x = 3R .

A man pushes on piano with mass 170 kg; it slides at constant velocity down a ramp that is inclined at 20.0 ∘ above the horizont
nikdorinn [45]

Answer

given,                            

mass of the piano = 170 kg              

angle of the inclination = 20°                

moves with constant velocity hence acceleration = 0 m/s²    

neglecting friction                                  

so, force required to pull the piano                    

F = m g sin θ                                                      

F = 170 × 9.81 × sin 20°                                        

F = 570.39 N                                                    

so, force required by the man to push the piano is F = 570.39 N

The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis. Keeping a stable internal environment requires constant adjustments. Here are just three of the many ways that human organ systems help the body maintain homeostasis:
Respiratory system: A high concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood triggers faster breathing. The lungs exhale more frequently, which removes carbon dioxide from the body more quickly.
Excretory system: A low level of water in the blood triggers retention of water by the kidneys. The kidneys produce more concentrated urine, so less water is lost from the body.
Endocrine system: A high concentration of sugar in the blood triggers secretion of insulin by an endocrine gland called the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps cells absorb sugar from the blood.

A 65 kg bungee jumper leaps from a bridge. She is tied to a bungee cord that is 12 m long when unstretched, and falls a total of
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

(a) k = 30.33 N/m

(b) a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

First, we need to find the force acting on the bungee jumper. Since, this is a free fall motion. Therefore, the force must be equal to the weight of jumper:

F = W = mg

F = (65 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 637 N

(a)

Now applying Hooke's Law:

F = k Δx

where,

k = spring constant = ?

Δx = change in length of bungee cord = 33 m - 12 m = 21 m

Therefore,

637 N = k(21 m)

k = 637 N/21 m

<u>k = 30.33 N/m</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Since, this is free fall motion. Thus, the maximum acceleration will be the acceleration due to gravity.

a = g

<u>a = 9.8 m/s²</u>
