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

The value of x in the given right triangle in a semicircle is determined as 21.

<h3>What is the measure of a triangle in a semicircle?</h3>

The triangle in a semicircle is always a right angle triangle.

From the figure shown, we can say that the triangle G J K is right triangle and m<K = 90degrees.

Given that m<K = 4x + 6, we will can use the following equation to find the value of x as shown:

4x + 6 = 90

4x = 90 - 6

4x = 84

x = 21

Thus, the value of x in the given right triangle in a semicircle is determined as 21.

How far can a sound wave travel in 90 seconds when the ambient air temperature is 10 C?

Ksju [112]

Answer:

s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the speed of sound at the given temperature. For this purpose we use the following formula:

v = v₀√[T/273 k]

where,

v = speed of sound at given temperature = ?

v₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s

T = Given Temperature = 10°C + 273 = 283 k

Therefore,

v = (331 m/s)√[283 k/273 k]

v = 337 m/s

Now, we use the following formula to calculate the distance traveled by sound:

s = vt

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

t = time taken = 90 s

Therefore,

s = (337 m/s)(90 s)

An airplane starts from A and flies to B at a constant speed. After reaching B it returns to A at the same speed. There was no w

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

When there is wind it takes longer

Explanation:

With no wind, the round trip time is

$t_1=\frac{d}{v}+\frac{d}{v}=\frac{2d}{v}$

When we have a constant wind speed w

$t_2=\frac{d}{v-w} +\frac{d}{v+w} =\frac{2vd}{v^{2} -w^{2}}$

comparing the reciprocal times;

$\frac{1}{t_2}=\frac{v^{2}-w^{2} }{2vd}=\frac{v}{2d}-\frac{w^{2}}{2vd} \leq \frac{v}{2d}=\frac{1}{t_1}$

This means that t1 is smaller than t2, ergo, it takes longer with wind

Bob is pushing a box across the floor at a constant speed of 1.7 m/s, applying a horizontal force whose magnitude is 70 N. Alice

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) 70 N, b) b. Each initially applied a force bigger than static friction to get the box moving and accelerating, then when the desired final speed was achieved they reduced the force to make the net force zero.

Explanation:

a) A constant speed means that magnitude of friction force is equal to the magnitude of the external force. The friction force is directly proportional to the normal force, which is equal to the weight of the box. Therefore, the magnitude of the force is 70 N.

b) Alice used initially a greater force to accelerate the box up to needed speed and later reduced the external force to keep speed constant. The right choice is option b.
