The term defined as the change in direction of light when it goes from one medium into a different medium is refraction.

Refraction is the change of direction on the propagation of a beam of light when it passes from a medium to other; this only happens when the light travels at different speeds in both media.

When a beam of light that travels in the air incedes in a slab of glass, part of the beam is reflected (bounces) and part is refracted (it penetrates in the glass and changes the angle).


Also,due to the different speeds of light in air and water, when a beam of light passes from air to water, it refracts.

Answer:

Alloys and Composites

Explanation:

<u>Drill bits are made of alloys</u> because alloys are very much resistant to corrosion and are created when one or multiple metals are mixed with other elements that are non-metallic in nature. Due to their greater strength, they are used in the power drills in order to create borehole drills at the mining site. Borehole drilling is commonly done in order to understand the sub-surface strata before mining.

<u>The bodies along with the handles of power drills are constructed of composite insulators</u> because within the composites there is the absence of free electrons that has the ability to flow and produce electricity. So they are considered to be used as a good insulator.

monitta

Answer

The Density of a substance can change if its location changes.

Explanation

All the statements are TRUE except

The Density of a substance can change if its location changes.

This is because density is an intensive property, that is regardless of the object's shape, size, or quantity, the density of that substance will always be the same. Even if you cut the object into a million pieces, they would still each have the same density.

Therefore, the statement that is FALSE is

The Density of a substance can change if its location changes.

When does a star reach equilibrium?
Snezhnost [94]
Actually, that does not happen until the protostar becomes a star when nuclear ignition starts and is maintained. It takes awhile for new star to go through its T-Tauri stage and settle down on the main sequence. 

<span>A STAR does not reach hydrostatic equilibrium until it on the main sequence. Otherwise, it would remain a brown dwarf with not enough mass to to maintain nuclear fusion for more than 3,000 to 10,00 years. </span>
