Different ____ of light through two separate mediums causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.

Physics

Fittoniya [83]3 years ago
8 0

Different speeds of light through two separate media ... and the difference in wavelength caused by the difference ... causes the bending of waves fronts associated with light rays.

AFTER the bend, since the light rays then travel in a different direction, we may also say that the 'velocity' has changed.

In 1976, the SR-71A, flying at 20 km altitude (T = –56 0C), set the official jet-powered aircraft speed record of 3530 km/hr (21
Lapatulllka [165]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the speed of sound, the calculation of the Mach number and finally the calculation of the temperature at the front stagnation point. We will calculate the speed in international units as well as the temperature. With these values we will calculate the speed of the sound and the number of Mach. Finally we will calculate the temperature at the front stagnation point.

The altitude is,

z = 20km

And the velocity can be written as,

V = 3530km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

V = 980.55m/s

From the properties of standard atmosphere at altitude z = 20km temperature is

T = 216.66K

k = 1.4

R = 287 J/kg

Velocity of sound at this altitude is

a = \sqrt{kRT}

a = \sqrt{(1.4)(287)(216.66)}

a = 295.049m/s

Then the Mach number

Ma = \frac{V}{a}

Ma = \frac{980.55}{296.049}

Ma = 3.312

So front stagnation temperature

T_0 = T(1+\frac{k-1}{2}Ma^2)

T_0 = (216.66)(1+\frac{1.4-1}{2}*3.312^2)

T_0 = 689.87K

Therefore the temperature at its front stagnation point is 689.87K

Describe an application where a parallel circuit might work better than a series circuit
babunello [35]
In rooms where there are multiple lights, a parallel circuit is better.

In a series circuit, if one light broke, all of the lights would turn off, as the circuit would be broken.

However, in parallel, if one bulb broke, the circuit could still be complete through the other bulbs, so they will stay on.

How does water get up to the atmosphere, and how does it get back down to earth surface
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Water gets up to the Earth's atmosphere by evaporating from a body of water, which is then they become water vapor. It returns back to the surface by returning back to its water state and falling back down (as rain). The water vapor turns into clouds (clouds are really just water droplets), and when it cannot hold anymore waters, it disperses all the water (by raining).

What is meant by specific latent heat of vaporization of water is -2.26mjkg^-1 or -2.26mj/kg?​
Otrada [13]

Answer:

The specific latent heat of a substance is the amount of energy required to change the state of one kilo of the substance without change in it temperature.The latent heat of vaporization or evaporation is the heat given to some mass to convert if from the liquid to the vapor phase.

A car has a mass of 1,200 kg. What is its acceleration when the engine exerts a force of 600 N? (Formula: F=ma)
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1200 kg

Force exerted by the engine, F = 600 N

Noe force,F = ma

a is the acceleration of the engine

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{600\ N}{1200\ kg}\\\\a=0.5\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is 0.5 m/s².
