What physical property of light changes and causes the light to refract, or bend?

1 answer:

3 0

I think it would be by the change in speed
For example if light travels from air to water it will slow down causing it to travel at a different angle/direction

-- find the horizontal and vertical components of F1.

-- find the horizontal and vertical components of F2.

-- find the horizontal and vertical components of F3.

-- add up the 3 horizontal components; their sum is the horizontal component of the resultant.

-- add up the 3 vertical components; their sum is the vertical component of the resultant.

-- the magnitude of the resultant is the square root of (vertical component^2 + horizontal component^2)

-- the direction of the resultant is the angle whose tangent is (vertical component/horizontal component), starting from the positive x-direction.

A mass of 0.54 kg attached to a vertical spring stretches the spring 36 cm from its original equilibrium position. The accelerat

<h2>Spring constant is 14.72 N/m</h2>

Explanation:

We have for a spring

Force = Spring constant x Elongation

F = kx

Here force is weight of mass

F = W = mg = 0.54 x 9.81 = 5.3 N

Elongation, x = 36 cm = 0.36 m

Substituting

F = kx

5.3 = k x 0.36

k = 14.72 N/m

Spring constant is 14.72 N/m

Answer: 14.7kJ, 29.4kJ, 44.1kJ

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

<em />

In the case of the Earth, in which the gravitational field is considered constant, the value of the gravitational potential energy $U_{p}$ will be:
