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

Physics
1 answer:
quester [9]3 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.

How do the tension of the cord and the force of gravity affect a pendulum?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

<em>Force of gravity may not affect a pendulum during its equilibrium state</em>. But  the gravity can affect the pendulum when a force occurs in any direction of the bob connected to the cord that makes a swing sideways. The gravity of pendulum never stops, it always accelerates. So the gravity affects the pendulum acceleration and speed.    

<em>Similarly the tension in the cord will not affect the pendulum</em><em> </em>but if change in the length of the pendulum while keeping other factors constant changes the length of the period of pendulum. longer pendulum swings with lower frequency than shorter pendulums.

A typical running track is an oval with 74-mm-diameter half circles at each end. A runner going once around the track covers a d
lisabon 2012 [21]

The centripetal acceleration a is 4.32 \times 10^-4 m/s^2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The speed is constant and computing the speed from the distance and time for one full lap.

Given, distance = 400 mm = 0.4 m,       Time = 100 s.

Computing the v = 0.4 m / 100 s

                         v = 4 \times 10^-3 m/s.

radius of the circular end r = 37 mm = 0.037 m.

            centripetal acceleration a = v^2 / r

                                                        = (4 \times 10^-3)^2 / 0.037

                                                    a = 4.32 \times 10^-4 m/s^2.

A material that can be hit without shattering is?<br> viscous, flammable, hard, malleable
nika2105 [10]
Malleable

Malleability is a property of matter, that’s specializes in metals, in which these metals can be bended, twisted or formed into a thinner sheets, and not being able to shatter to pieces instead it can be formed into a new shape. Unlike the other three, take for instance hardness. If a hard object such as wood for example when used with an axe it breaks and it is lead to smithereens. Flammable like is when applied to fire can dramatically explode when hit it obviously breaks.

Which metal would cause the greatest increase in the temperature of the water in the calorimeter: the one with the highest speci
masha68 [24]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

the one with the highest specific heat

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.
  • The specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram °C or 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than any other common substance.
  • <em><u>A metal with the highest specific heat will cause the greatest increase in temperature of water in a calorimeter because the metal would hold more heat, and then transfer the greater quantity of heat to the water.</u></em>
