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.

Janessa got through high school easily because she could remember what her teachers said in class and their tests never covered
VMariaS [17]
<span>CorrectThe direction of the electric field stays the same regardless of the sign of the charges that are free to move in theconductor.Mathematically, you can see that this must be true since the expression you derived for the electric field isindependent of .Physically, this is because the force due to the magnetic field changes sign as well and causes positive charges tomove in the direction (as opposed to pushing negative charges in the direction). Therefore the result isalways the same: positive charges on the side and negative charges on the side. Because the electric fieldgoes from positive to negative charges will always point in the direction (given the original directions of</span>
