This phenomenon is known as parallax. The simplest example is this: if you are sitting in the passenger seat, the gas tank needle may appear to read empty. However, if you are the driver, you will see that you are not on empty, but should get some gas.

Which jovian planet should have the most extreme seasonal changes? a. Saturn b. Neptune c. Jupiter d. Uranus

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

D). Uranus.

Explanation:

Jovian planets are described as the planets which are giant balls of gases and located farthest from the sun which primarily include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

As per the question, 'Uranus' is the jovian planet that would have the most extreme seasonal changes as its tilted axis leads each season to last for about 1/4 part of its 84 years orbit. The strong tilted axis encourages extreme changes in the season on Uranus. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

The speed of light in air is 3.0 x 10^8 m/s. The speed of light in particular glass is 2.3 x 10^8 m/s. Use the information to de

Answer:

33.61°

Explanation:

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

v is the velocity in the medium (2.3 × 10⁸ m/s)

c is the speed of light in air = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

So,

n = 3.0 × 10⁸ / 2.3 × 10⁸

n = 1.31

Using Snell's law as:

$n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}$

Where,

${\theta_i}$ is the angle of incidence ( 25.0° )

${\theta_r}$ is the angle of refraction ( ? )

${n_r}$ is the refractive index of the refraction medium (air, n=1)

${n_i}$ is the refractive index of the incidence medium (glass, n=1.31)

Hence,

$1.31\times {sin25.0^0}={1}\times{sin\theta_r}$

Angle of refraction = $sin^{-1}0.5536$ = 33.61°

Nata [24]

Answer:

2. it might continue expanding forever

Explanation:

If the ratio is greater than one, then the actual density of the Universe is greater than the critical density, and thus the Universe will eventually become closed and will ultimately end up collapsing in on itself. If the ratio is less than one, then the actual density is less than the critical density, and the Universe is open and expands forever in every direction
