What often happens to light when it travels from one medium to another

Physics
1 answer:
quester [9]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Although the speed changes and wavelength changes, the frequency of the light will be constant. The frequency, wavelength, and speed are related by: The change in speed that occurs when light passes from one medium to another is responsible for the bending of light, or refraction, that takes place at an interface.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

-- Before Adrian left the airplane, his gravitational potential energy was

(mass) x (gravity) x (height) = (80kg) x (9.81m/s²) x (1,000m) = 784,800 joules


-- When he reached the ground, his kinetic energy was

(1/2) x (mass) x (speed)² = (40kg) x (5m/s)² = 1,000 joules


-- Between the airplane and the ground, the Adrian lost

(784,800 joules) - (1,000 joules) = 783,800 joules 

Where did all that energy go ?
Energy never just disappears.  If it's missing, it had to go somewhere.

The Adrian used  783,800 joules of energy to push air our of his way
so that he could continue his parachute jump, and reach the ground
in time to be home for dinner.

How does a water well affect ground water?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Pumping a well lowers the water level around the well to form a cone of depression in the water table. If the cone of depression extends to other nearby wells, the water level in those wells will be lowered. The cone develops in both shallow water-table and deeper confined-aquifer systems.
