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

In an incompressible three-dimensional flow field, the velocity components are given by u = ax + byz; υ = cy + dxz. Determine th

Ksivusya [100]

An incompressible flow field F in a 3D cartesian grid with components u,v,w:

F = u + v + w

where u,v,w are functions of x,y,z

Must satisfy:

∇·F = du/dx + dv/dy + dw/dz = 0

We have a field F defined:

F = u+v+w, u = ax+byz, v = cy+dxz

du/dx = a, dv/dy = c

Recall ∇·F = 0:

∇·F = du/dx + dv/dy + dw/dz = 0

a + c + dw/dz = 0

dw/dz = -a-c

Solve for w by separation of variables:

w = ∫(-a-c)dz

w = -az - cz + f(x,y)

f(x,y) is some undetermined function of x and y

The question states that w is not a function of x and y, therefore f(x,y) = 0...

w = -az - cz

What quantity does the Hamiltonian correspond to? Rest mass Potential energy Total energy Kinetic energy Bohr frequency Lagrangi

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The correct option is: Total energy

Explanation:

The Hamiltonian operator, in quantum mechanics, is an operator that is associated with the<u> total energy of the system.</u> It is equal to the sum of the total kinetic energy and the potential energy of all the particles of the system.

The Hamiltonian operator was named after the Irish mathematician, William Rowan Hamiltonis denoted and is denoted by H.
