Why is light refracted when it passes from air to water?

Physics

blondinia [14]3 years ago

The correct option is A. 
Refraction refers to the process of change in the direction of a wave propagation due to change in the transmission medium. When light travels from air to water, it slows down and this causes it to change direction slightly. The change in direction is called refraction. When light enters a denser medium, it bends more towards the normal line, the amount of bending that will be experienced depend on change in speed and angle of the incident ray.

earnstyle [38]

Sound waves travel faster through <em>solids</em> than they do through gases or liquids.  <em>(C)  </em>They don't travel through vacuum at all.

Example:

Speed of sound in normal air . . . around 340 m/s

Speed of sound in water . . . around 1,480 m/s

Speed of sound in iron . . . around 5,120 m/s

What type of force pulls in two opposite directions?
Mnenie [13.5K]

<u>Answer</u>

a. tension (associated with normal faults)

c. diagonal

<u>Explanation</u>

A pull of spring or of string on both ends of an object is called tension. So for the question one, the answer is <em> tension (associated with normal faults)</em>

There are three types of faults. Faults are produced by stress or strain by moving plates. These faults are: normal faults, reverse faults and transcurrent or Strike-slip. Strike-slip faults can also be called transform fault. The answer to the second question is <em>c. diagonal.</em>

liq [111]

Answer:

B) both the amplitude of the motion and the weight of the ball

Explanation:

Time period of a pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}

where,

L = Length of pendulum

g = Acceleration due to gravity

The system here is similar to a simple pendulum

It can be seen that the time period depends on L and g.

Amplitude and weight are the factors that do not determine the time period.

Hence, the answer is B) both the amplitude of the motion and the weight of the ball
