Explanation:

Refraction is the change in the direction of the wave passing from one medium to another.

The change in the direction of the propagation of any wave is due to the different speed at different points.

A far away object appears closer and a small object appears larger.

Take an example. Suppose, an object lies in water.

A far away object appears closer. The angle from which the rays of light reach the observer is larger than the angle that it makes in air.

This makes the angular size larger to the observer's eye which makes the object look larger relative what it looks in air. Similar but vice versa condition occurs in the case when a small object appears larger.

Therefore, refraction can be used to make a far away object appear closer and also make a small object appear larger.

Which of the following is true regarding the properties of light?
Ivanshal [37]

Light having a dual nature and acting like both a wave and a particle is the correct statement in this scenario.

<h3>What is Light?</h3>

This refers to the electromagnetic radiation found in the electromagnetic spectrum that is perceived by the human eye and has a dual nature. It doesn't require a medium for its propagation unlike sound.

The dual nature of light is as a result of it behaving like a photon which is why it travels in straight lines.

It also behave like a wave because it undergoes processes such as reflection, refraction etc which are common to waves.

A quantity that has direction as well as size is a scalar.<br><br><br> True or False
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A quantity that does not depend on the direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude, and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction.

Scalar quantities only have magnitude (size). Scalar quantities include distance...

A quantity that is specified by both size and direction is a vector. Displacement includes both size and direction and is an example of a vector. However, distance is a physical quantity that does not include a direction and isn't a vector.

Explanation:

hope this helps...

A worker assigned to the restoration of the Washington Monument is checking the condition of the stone at the very top of the mo
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Your answer is: K.E = 8.3 J

Explanation:

If the height (h) = 169.2 meters (m) and the mass (m) is 0.005 kilograms (kg) the total energy will be kinetic energy which is equal to the potential energy.

K.E = P.E and also P.E equals to mgh

Then you substitute all the parameters into the formula  ↓

P.E = 0.005 × 9.81 × 169.2

P.E = 8.2908 J

So your answer is 8.2908 but if you round it is K.E = 8.3
