What happens to the light as it changes media from air to glass?

Physics
1 answer:
Dmitry [639]3 years ago
4 0
Light is refracted when it crosses the interface from air into glass in which it moves more slowly. Since the light speed changes at the interface, the wavelength of the light must change, also. The wavelength decreases as the light enters the medium and the light wave changes direction.

The brakes of an automobile can decelerate it at -4.7m/s^2. If the automobile is traveling at the rate of 31.0m/s How far will i
OleMash [197]

Answer:

204.5 m

Explanation:

a = v \ t

t = v \ a

t = 31 \ 4.7 = 6.6s

v = d \ t

d = v * t

d = 31 * 6.6

d= 204.5 meters

A car is moving at 14 m/s. After 30 s, its speed inncreased to 20 m/s. What is the acceleration over time
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

0.2 m/s^2

Explanation:

initial speed 14m/s

final speed 20m/s

acceleration:

(20m/s - 14m /s) /30s = (6m/s)/30s = 0.2 m/s^2

Explain the difference between the four states of matter.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Solids :A solid has a definite shape and volume because the molecules that make up the solid are packed closely together and move slowly. Solids are often crystalline; examples of crystalline solids include table salt, sugar, diamonds, and many other minerals. Solids are sometimes formed when liquids or gases are cooled; ice is an example of a cooled liquid which has become solid. Other examples of solids include wood, metal, and rock at room temperature.  Liquids : A liquid has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container. Examples of liquids include water and oil. Gases may liquefy when they cool, as is the case with water vapor. This occurs as the molecules in the gas slow down and lose energy. Solids may liquefy when they heat up; molten lava is an example of solid rock which has liquefied as a result of intense heat.  Gases : A gas has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Some gases can be seen and felt, while others are intangible for human beings. Examples of gases are air, oxygen, and helium. Earth's atmosphere is made up of gases including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.  Plasma: Plasma has neither a definite volume nor a definite shape. Plasma often is seen in ionized gases, but it is distinct from a gas because it possesses unique properties. Free electrical charges (not bound to atoms or ions) cause the plasma to be electrically conductive. The plasma may be formed by heating and ionizing a gas. Examples of plasma include stars, lightning, fluorescent lights, and neon signs.

What is the wavelength of a radio photon from an "am" radio station that broadcasts at 1080 kilohertz?
asambeis [7]
<span>208.3 meters The product of the wavelength multiplied by the frequency will equal the speed of light which is 299792458 m/s. Simple algebra will tell you that you can divide the speed of light by the frequency to get the wavelength. So 224997958 m/s / 1080000 1/s = 208.3314426 m Rounding to 4 significant digits gives you 208.3 meters.</span>

Does a good insulator prevent energy from getting through it, or slow its passage
9966 [12]
A good heat insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the heat energy
from any heat that flows through it.

A good electrical insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the energy
from any electric current that flows through it.
