Does a swimmer underwater observe the same color or a different color for this light?

Physics

Alexandra [31]4 years ago

<h2>Answer: A swimmer underwater observes the same color because the frequency does not change.</h2>

Explanation:

When a swimmer is underwater and a light pasess from air to water, there is a change in the medium and its index of refraction, hence the light is refracted. This means it changes its direction.

Nevertheless, in this process the refracted ray of light does not change its frequency f, because frequency is:

f=\frac{1}{T}

Where T is the period of the wave and this remains unchanged, hence the frequency, as well.

So, as the frequency does not change and the color of light depends on frequency, the color of the light remains the same.

rewona [7]

Answer:

H' = H/4

Explanation:

By applying the law of conservation of energy to this problem, we know that:

Elastic Potential Energy Stored by Spring = Gravitational Potential Energy of ball

(1/2)kx² = mgH

H = (1/2)kx²/mg   -------------- equation (1)

where,

H = Height reached by the ball

x = compression of spring

k = stiffness of spring

m = mass of ball

g = acceleration due to gravity

Now, if we make the compression to half of its value:

x' = x/2

then:

H' = (1/2)k(x/2)²/mg

H' = (1/4)(1/2)kx²/mg

using equation (1), we get:

<u>H' = H/4</u>

Geneva says that the only thing that is needed for people to hear the sounds around us is a vibrating object. Do you agree with
nadezda [96]
No, I do not agree with her. In order for sounds to be heard, the sound wave produced by a vibrating object needs to travel from the vibrating object to the ear through a medium.

Choose the sources of gamma rays. Check all that apply.
harina [27]

Answer:

a. Stars all warm objects

c. Some unstable atomic nuclei

Explanation:

Gamma rays are photons of very high energy (beyond 100keV) enough to remove an electron from its orbit.

They have a very short wavelength, less than 5 meters from the peak, and can be produced by nuclear decay, especially in the breasts of massive stars at the end of life.

They were discovered by the French chemist Paul Villard (1860 to 1934).

While X-rays are produced by electronic transitions in general caused by the collision of an electron with an atom at high speed, gamma rays are produced by nuclear transitions.

 Gamma rays produce damage similar to those caused by X-rays or ultraviolet rays (burns, cancer and genetic mutations).

The sources of gamma rays that we observe in the universe come from <u>massive stars (hypernovas) or some warm objects on the space</u> that end their lives by a gravitational collapse that leads to the formation of a neutron star or a black hole, as well as <u>unstable radioactive nuclei </u>that emit radiation gamma to reach its steady state.

What is the difference between a radiological weapon and a nuclear weapon?
AVprozaik [17]

What is the difference between the nuclear material in a bomb, versus a reactor? A nuclear reactor works by using the energy that is released when the nucleus of a heavy atom splits. That process is called fission. In reactors, fission occurs when uranium atoms are hit by slow-moving neutrons.
