Answer:
The light bends away from the normal
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using Snell's law:
where:
is the index of refraction of the first medium
is the index of refraction of the second medium
is the angle of incidence (angle between the incoming ray and the normal to the interface)
is the angle of refraction (angle between the outcoming ray and the normal to the interface)
We can rearrange the equation as
In this problem, light travels from an optically denser medium to an optically rarer medium, so
Therefore, the term 
is greater than 1, so
which means that the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence, and so the light will bend away from the normal.
Law of conservation of momentum states that when two objects collide with each other , the sum of their linear momentum always remains same or we can say conserved and is not effected by any action, reaction only in case is no external unbalanced force is applied on the bodies.
Let,
m
A
= Mass of ball A
m
B
= Mass of ball B
u
A
= initial velocity of ball A
u
B
= initial velocity of ball B
v
A
= Velocity after the collision of ball A
v
B
= Velocity after the collision of ball B
F
ab
= Force exerted by A on B
F
ba
= Force exerted by B on A
Now,
Change in the momentum of A= momentum of A after the collision - the momentum of A before the collision

Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, then,

This is the derivation of conservation of linear momentum.
Answer:
A light year is a measure of distance as opposed to a time measurement. This is because a light year is the distance light can travel in the time of a year.
A vector Quantity has MAGNITUDE and direction, so the ‘what’ is Magnitude.
With the earth’s current rotation, the major pressure systems of the general circulation can be correlated with the increase and decrease of air. When there is a considerable amount of air, precipitation will become present on a large scale. When there is less air, then there is an increase in chances of an area becoming dry. According to our textbook, a decrease in air on the eastern margin (west coast) creates a subsidence inversion. This causes dry weather. On the western margin (east coast) the humidity in the air rises, condenses and creates rain fall. So if the earth were to rotate in the opposite direction, we could possibly expect weather on the west coast to produce more rain and the weather on the east coastto become dry.
-I hope this helped!
