It slows down. The reason for this is because when the light travels through the air, it is at it’s maximum speed. When it passes through the glass block, it slows down because the medium is denser than air. This also causes refraction.

➷ The speed would reduce as glass is denser than air.

A 1 000-V battery, a 3 000-Ω resistor, and a 0.50-μF capacitor are connected in series with a switch. The time constant for such
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The current in the circuit at a time interval of τ seconds after the switch has been closed is 0.123 A

Explanation:

The time constant for an R and C in series circuit is given by τ = RC.

R = 3000 ohms, C = 0.5 × 10⁻⁶ F = 5.0 × 10⁻⁷ F

τ = 3000 × 5 × 10⁻⁷ = 0.015 s

The voltage across a capacitor as it charges is given be

V(t) = Vs (1 - e⁻ᵏᵗ)

where k = 1/τ

At the point when t = τ, the expassion becomes

V(t = τ) = 1000 (1 - e⁻¹) = 0.632 × 1000 = 632 V

Current flows as a result of potential difference,.

Current in the circuit at this time t =  τ is given by

I = (Vs - Vc)/R

Vs = source voltage = 1000 V

Vc = Voltage across the capacitor = 632 V

R = 3000 ohms

I = (1000 - 632)/3000 = 0.123 A

Work out the current through an electric heater with a power of 1.38kW if it uses the 230V mains supply.
love history [14]

Answer:

I = 6 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of an electric heatr, P = 1.38 kW

The voltage of the mains supply, V = 230 V

We need to find the current through the heater. The electric power in terms of  voltage and current is given by :

P=V\times I\\\\I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{1.38\times 10^3}{230}\\\\I=6\ A

So, the current through an electric heater is 6 A.

Which statement is accurate about how the aurora borealis is formed?
g100num [7]

Answer:

When the electrons jump to a higher energy state, they release energy as electromagnetic radiation, light.

Explanation:

When the solar wind gets past the magnetic field and travels towards the Earth, it runs into the atmosphere. As the protons and electrons from the solar wind hit the particles in the Earth's atmosphere, they release energy – and this is what causes the northern lights.
