False. That description fits the wave's 'frequency'. 
It has nothing to do with refraction.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

- Refraction is the phenomenon that occurs when a light wave crosses the interface between two different mediums. Because of the different index of refraction of the two mediums (also called optical density), the speed of light in the two mediums is different, so the light changes direction.

- The definition described in the text of this problem, instead, is the definition of frequency. In fact, frequency of a wave is defined as the number of complete cycles (or of complete wavelengths) that pass a fixed point each second.

When water freezes, its volume increases by 9.05%. What force per unit area is water capable of exerting on a container when it
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The Pressure is 0.20 MPa.

(b) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Change in volume = 9.05%

{tex]\dfrac{\Delta V}{V_{0}}=0.0905[/tex]

We know that.

The bulk modulus for water

B=0.20\times10^{10}\ N/m^2

We need to calculate the pressure difference

Using formula bulk modulus formula

B=\Delta P\dfrac{V_{0}}{\Delta V}

\Delta P=B\dfrac{\Delta V}{V_{0}}

\Delta P=0.2\times10^{10}\times0.0905

\Delta P=0.2\times10^{6}\ Pa

\Delta P=0.20 MPa

Hence, The Pressure is 0.20 MPa.

A car with mass 1500 kg moves with constant velocity of 36 m/s. The driver sees a group of cows in front and he immediately step
Crazy boy [7]
From laws of motion:

S = ( \frac{v + u}{2} ) \times t
Where S is the distance/displacement (as you would call it) which is unknown
v = final velocity which is 0m/s (this is because the car stops)
u = initial velocity which is 36m/s (from the data given)
t = time taken for the distance to be covered and it is 6s


Substitute the values, hence:
S = ( \frac{0 + 36}{2} ) \times 6
S = (18) \times 6 \\  \\ S = 108m

But this is merely the distance he travelled in the 6 seconds he was trying to stop the car.

Therefore, the distance between the car and the cows = 160-108
Distance = 52m
