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.

1. Potential energy and a roller coaster. A 1000-kg roller coaster car moves from point A to B then C.
zalisa [80]

Answer:(a) With our choice for the zero level for potential energy of the car-Earth system when the car is at point B ,

          U

B

​

=0

When the car is at point A, the potential energy of the car-Earth system is given by

          U

A

​

=mgy

where y is the vertical height above zero level. With 135ft=41.1m, this height is found as:

y=(41.1m)sin40.0

0

=26.4m

Thus,

U

A

​

=(1000kg)(9.80m/s

2

)(26.4m)=2.59∗10

J

The change in potential energy of the car-Earth system as the car moves from A to B is

U

B

​

−U

A

​

=0−2.59∗10

5

J=−2.59∗10

5

J

(b) With our choice of the zero configuration for the potential energy of the car-Earth system when the car is at point A, we have U

A

​

=0. The potential energy of the system when the car is at point B is given by U

B

​

=mgy, where y is the vertical distance of point B below point A. In part (a), we found the magnitude of this distance to be 26.5m. Because this distance is now below the zero reference level, it is a negative number.

Thus,

Which of these forms of radiation passes most easily through the disk of the Milky Way?
Rama09 [41]
<h2>Answer: 3 - infrared light</h2>

Explanation:

<u>There are certain areas of the Milky Way that cannot be observed using the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum</u> (this includes blue light and red light). This is because these areas are covered or hidden behind columns of interstellar dust and dark matter.

However, using infrared light and sometimes radio waves, it is possible to observe the galaxy better, because this light manages to pass through all that interstellar dust.
