Refraction occurs when light passing from one medium to another. True or False

Physics
1 answer:
kodGreya [7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: True

Refraction is a phenomenon in which the light bends or changes its direction (and changes the speed of propagation, as well) <u>when passing through a medium</u> with a refractive index n <u>different from the other medium.  </u>

Where the Refractive index is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material:

n=\frac{c}{v}

Being n a relation between the speed of light in vacuum c  and its speed in the other medium v .

It is important to note that in this process, the wavelength may be modified because it depends on the medium, however, the refracted ray of light does not change its frequency.

The New Horizons probe that passed by Pluto during July 2015 is one of the fastest spacecraft ever assembled. It was moving at a
LenKa [72]

Answer:

2.91 x 10¹² sec

Explanation:

d = distance of nearest star, Proxima Centauri  = 4.3 ly = 4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ m

v = speed of new horizon probe = 14 km/hr = 14000 m/s

t = time taken for the new horizon probe to reach nearest star, Proxima Centauri = ?

Using the equation

d = v t

Inserting the values given

4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ = (14000) t

t = 2.91 x 10¹² sec

The components of a 10.8-meters-per-second velocity at an angle of 34.° above the horizontal are
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

6.0 m/s vertical and 9.0 m/s horizontal

Explanation:

For the vertical component, we use the formula:

  • Sin(34°) = <em>y</em> / 10.8

Then we <u>solve for </u><u><em>y</em></u>:

  • 0.559 = <em>y</em> / 10.8
  • <em>y </em>= 6.0

And for the horizontal component, we use the formula:

  • Cos(34°) = <em>x</em> / 10.8

Then we <u>solve for </u><u><em>x</em></u><u>:</u>

  • 0.829 = <em>x</em> / 10.8
  • <em>y </em>= 9.0

So the answer is " 6.0 m/s vertical and 9.0 m/s horizontal".

100 °C is a greater temperature than which of the following?
ohaa [14]
When somebody hands you a Celsius°, it's easy to find the equivalent Fahrenheit°.

Fahrenheit° = (1.8 · Celsius°) + 32° .

So 100°C works out to 212°F.  

It's also easy to find the equivalent Kelvin.  Just add 273.15 to the Celsius.

So now you can see that  100°C  is equal to  A  and  D,
and it's less than  B .

The only one it's greater than is  C .

Calculate the velocity of a 1650kg satellite that is in a circular orbit of 4.2 x 10^6m above the surface of a planet which has
Anastasy [175]
-- We're going to be talking about the satellite's speed. 
"Velocity" would include its direction at any instant, and
in a circular orbit, that's constantly changing.

-- The mass of the satellite makes no difference.

Since the planet's radius is  3.95 x 10⁵m  and the satellite is
orbiting  4.2 x 10⁶m  above the surface, the radius of the
orbital path itself is

                               (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (4.2 x 10⁶m)

                     =        (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (42 x 10⁵m)

                     =           45.95 x 10⁵ m

The circumference of the orbit is  (2 π R) =  91.9 π x 10⁵ m.

The bird completes a revolution every 2.0 hours,
so its speed in orbit is

                                     (91.9 π x 10⁵ m) / 2 hr

                        =        45.95 π x 10⁵  m/hr  x  (1 hr / 3,600 sec)

                        =           0.04 x 10⁵      m/sec

                        =              4 x 10³      m/sec  

                                     (4 kilometers per second)
