Refractive index is the measure of bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium into another. It is not necessary that one medium must be vaccum.

For example, the image below shows refraction, where first medium is air and second medium is water.

Answer: the ballon will explode.

Explanation:

The air in the ballon will increase its temperature and, according to the laws of behavior of the gases, it will expand until it explode.

You can assume ideal gas behavior and use PV = nRT, where you can see that the volume V and P are proportional to the temperature T, so with the increase in temperature the ballon will increase its volume, until the material of the ballon can not expand more, when the pressure will increase and the material will fail.

How is amplitude changed in an instrument or tuning fork

azamat

Amplitude is affected by the energy wave in the instrument. High energy wave means high amplitude and low energy wave means low amplitude.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The amplitude of a periodic variable is a measure of its change over a single period. There are various definitions of amplitude, which are all functions of the magnitude of the differences between the variable's extreme values.

The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave. Amplitude of an instrument is directly affected by the wave of the energy in the instruments. High energy wave means high amplitude and low energy wave means low amplitude in the instrument.

You have two windlasses named X and Y. Windlass X drum diameter is 50cm and windlass Y drum diameter is 75cm. Both are hoisting a 50kg weight, Hence, X will lift faster and easier than Y

<h3>What is windlasses (winches) will lift faster?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the Torque is mathematically given as

Torque(X)=weight x radius of drum

T=50x9.81x0.25

T=122.625 Nm

For, Torque (Y)

T=50x9.81x0.375

T=183.93 Nm

Generally, the equation for the Equation of Power is mathematically given as

P= Torque * Angular velocity

Angular velocity (w)= 2 x pi x N/60

As a consequence, torque has an inverse relationship to speed. Because of this, the torque will decrease as the speed rises.

According to the previous statement, windlass X has a speed of lift that is at its maximum, but windlass Y has a speed that is very low.

Additionally, power is exactly proportional to torque, which means that the highest possible torque required the highest possible amount of energy and vice versa.

Therefore, X should raise at the highest possible speed while using the least amount of energy.

In conclusion, X will lift faster and easier than Y
