Why does a straw look broken viewed in a glass of water?

Physics
1 answer:
Nat2105 [25]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

This is due to refraction of light

Explanation:

When a straw is placed in a glass it appears to be broken as a result of refraction of light on the air-water interface.

Since, the refractive index of water is more than that of glass.

Also, water is denser than air, which means light travels slower in water than in air.

Most importantly, When light travels from rarer to denser medium it bents towards the normal and deviates from its original path which explains the broken view of straw in a glass of water.

Your cell phone typically consumes about 390 mW of power when you text a friend. If the phone is operated using a lithium-ion ba
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

I = 0.11 A

Explanation:

  • In an electric circuit, the power delivered to a load, is just the product of the potential difference between the load terminals, times the current flowing through it, as follows:

       P = V*I

  • In this case, the power is the one consumed by the cell phone = 390 mW, and the voltage the one produced by the internal energy of the battery, 3.5 V, neglecting the voltage loss at the internal resistance of the battery.
  • So, we can solve the above equation for  the current I, as follows:

        I = \frac{P}{V} = \frac{0.39W}{3.5V}  = 0.11 A

  • The current flowing through the cell-phone circuitry is 0.11 A.
