A light ray in air enters and passes through a block of glass. What can be stated with regard to its speed after it emerges from
the block? Speed is less than when in glass. Speed is less than before it entered glass. Speed is same as that in glass. Speed is same as that before it entered glass.
1 answer:
Answer:
Speed is same as that before it entered glass.
Explanation:
Given:
A light ray enters and passes through the glass as shown in the diagram.
We have to analyze its speed.
Speed of light in air is and speed of light in glass is
Whenever a light ray enters a glass block or slab there is bending of light at the interface of the two media.
So speed of light will decrease in glass medium and again it passes to the air.
So
Speed of light in air will again increase or will be equivalent to the earlier speed when it was entering the glass block.
Finally
Speed is same as that before it entered glass as it in the same medium (air).

False
Explanation:
Let's consider the definition of the angular momentum,
where is the moment of inertia for a rigid body. Now, this moment of inertia could change if we change the axis of rotation, because "r" is defined as the distance between the puntual mass and the nearest point on the axis of rotation, but still it's going to have some value. On the other hand,
so
unless
║
.
In conclusion, a rigid body could rotate about certain axis, generating an angular momentum, but if you choose another axis, there could be some parts of the rigid body rotating around the new axis, especially if there is a projection of the old axis in the new one.
