When light bounces back, it is <em>reflected</em>. (That's why you see your <em>reflection</em> in a mirror.) When light is bent from the path it is taking, it is <em>refracted</em>. The only answer choice that makes correct use of these terms is the third choice:
- Part of the ray is <em>refracted</em> into ray B; part of the ray is <em>reflected</em> as ray R.

The index of refraction is the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction. Both angles are measured from the normal to the surface. The angle of refraction here is 12.5° less than the angle of incidence, 44°, so is 31.5°. Then the index of refraction of the medium is ...
n = sin(44°)/sin(31.5°) = 0.69466/0.52250 = 1.3299 ≈ 1.33
- none of the offered choices is correct. The closest is 1.34.
Let the tension in the thread will be at angle theta
now by force balance in x and y directions we can say
now for the height of the kite we can use
<em>so it will be at height 32.23 m from ground</em>
<span>The particles through which compressional waves travel move in the same direction as the wave. This may be observed by fixing one end of a large spring and then compressing and extending the other end. The wave travels from one end to the other and the spring's parts move in the same direction.</span>
In rainforest sound travels faster because in the ocean sound travels very slow due to the pressure
Question
Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles travelled in a straight line and some were deflected at different angles.
Which statement best describes what Rutherford concluded from the motion of the particles?
A) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by electrons.
B) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by electrons.
C) Some particles travelled through empty spaces between atoms and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.
D) Some particles travelled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.
Answer:
The right answer is C)
Explanation:
In the experiment described above, a piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Alpha particles <em>α</em> were used because, if the nucleus was positive, then it would deflect the positive particles. The principles of physics posit that electric charges of the same orientation repel.
So most as expected some of the alpha particles went right through meaning that the gold atoms comprised mostly empty space except the areas that were with a dense population of positive charges. This area became known as the "nucleus".
Due to the presence of the positive charges in the nucleus, some particles had their paths bent at large angles others were deflected backwards.
Cheers!
