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.

How can two substances be made up of the same two elements but have very different properties?
asambeis [7]
So, basically, it might have different quantities, such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), which are both made up of Carbon and Oxygen, but Carbon Monoxide has less oxygen. And they both have different properties, like CO is poisonous.

frutty [35]

Answer:

1. Motion

2. Empty space

3. Far apart

4. Independently

5. Random or rapid

6. Collision

7. Kinetic energy

8. Atmospheric

9. 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius

10. 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are;

I. Gas.

II. Solid.

III. Liquid.

Filling the missing words or texts in the question, we have;

The kinetic theory describes the motion of particles in matter and the forces of attraction between them. The theory assumes that the volume occupied by a gas is mostly empty space, that the particles of gas are relatively far apart, move independently of each other, and are in constant random or rapid motion. The collision between particles are perfectly elastic so that the total kinetic energy remains constant. Gas pressure results from the simultaneous collisions of billions of particles with an object. Barometers are used to measure atmospheric pressure. Standard conditions are defined as a temperature of 273 Kelvin or 0° Celsius and a pressure of 1 atm, 101.3 kPa or 760 mmHg.

How long did it take Fernando to drive to
barxatty [35]
How do you calculate distance over speed?
Image result for if your going 30 m/s to go somewhere thats 1680 miles away
The formula can be rearranged in three ways:
speed = distance ÷ time.
distance = speed × time.
time = distance ÷ speed.

1680÷30 = 56

So it would take around 56 minutes to get to Kroger.


I hope this helps !! :)
