Why does light change its velocity (or slows down) when it encounters a glass lens?​

Physics
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

what happens is that light slows down when it passes from the less dense air into the denser glass or water. This slowing down of the ray of light also causes the ray of light to change direction. It is the change in the speed of the light that causes refraction.

Phytoplankton would most likely be found _______.
DIA [1.3K]
<span>The answer is c. in the photic zone. Plankton is a diverse group of organisms that live in the water and not capable of active swimming. Phytoplankton includes a diverse autotrophic group of organisms. Since they are autotrophic, they produce their own food in the process of photosynthesis. Light is important for photosynthesis and phytoplankton tends to live in the photic zone which receives sunlight.</span>

A car speeds up from rest to +16 m/ s in 4s. calculate the acceleration
Pani-rosa [81]

The magnitude of acceleration is (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning) =

                                   (16 m/s)  -  (0)  =  16 m/s .

Time for the change  =  4 s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (16 m/s) / (4 s) = 4 m/s per sec = 4 m/s² .

Eric is creating a timeline of the formation of the solar system. Which sequence best describes the formation of the solar syste
vlada-n [284]

The answer is C. nebular are star nurseries. When the massive gas being collapsing in its own weight. Local areas of gas begin to coalesce under gravity. Due to enormous pressure, nuclear fusion begins and a protostar is formed. The protostar grows into the sun as more hydrogen fuses at the core. The planetesimal materials at the edges of the protostellar discs coalesce to form planets that orbit the star.
