<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 plane has a takeoff speed of 88.3 m/s and can accelerate at a rate of 3m/s to reach that speed. How long does the plane take t
Mrrafil [7]

v = \frac{d}{t}

and

a = \frac{v}{t}

We have acceleration and velocity so:

3 = \frac{v}{t}

88.3 = \frac{d}{t}

In the acceleration equation we can isolate for v and then plug it back into the other equation to solve...

So...

3t = v

88.3 = 3t

Divide by three and

t = 29.4 s

Explain how a compass works using scientific terminology.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

A compass works by detecting and responding to the Earth's natural magnetic fields. The Earth has an iron core that is part liquid and part solid crystal, due to gravitational pressure. It is believed that movement in the liquid outer core is what produces the Earth's magnetic field.
