<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.

A carriage of 20 kg is pulled with a force of 35 N. How far the carriage will go

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

2.71 m

Explanation:

Force is the product of mass and acceleration

F=m*a

Work done is the product of force and distance

Work done=F*d

In this case;

F= 35 N

Work done = 95 J

95 =35 * d

95 /35 = d

2.71 m= d

A proton is moved from a position where the electric potential is 125 V to a position where the electric potential is 275 V. The

kakasveta [241]

We determine the electric potential energy of the proton by multiplying the net electric potential to the charge of the proton. The net electric potential is the difference of the final state to the that of the initial state. So, it would be 275 - 125 = 150 V.

electric potential energy = 150 (<span>1.602 × 10-19) = 2.4x10^-17 J</span>

An electron is confined to a one dimensional infinite potential well 150 pm. How much energy must it absorb if it is to jump to

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

\Delta E=1.22\times 10^{-22}J

Explanation:

The energy of electron in any state is given by $E=\frac{n^2h^2}{8mL^2}$ here h is planck's constant n is state of electron L is the infinte potential well m is the mass of electron
