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.

What are the five basic postulates of kinetic-molecular theory?
lesantik [10]

Explanation:

The five basic postulate of kinetic molecular theory includes:

1) All gases consist of large amount and numbers of tiny particles that are far apart from each other and also relative to their size.

2) The collisions between gas particles and gas particles against container walls is refer to as  elastic collision.

3) All gas particles are in a continuous random and rapid motion. They possess kinetic energy which is energy of motion.

4) There are no attractive force between gas particles.

5) The temperature of a gas depends on the average kinetic energy of the gas particle.

A is a hot object.  B is a cold object.  the two are brought into contact with each other so that heat is developed
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

A) Cold object will start getting hot

B) Heat exchange will stop as the two object acquire the same temperature.

Explanation:

A) When one hot object and one cold object are kept in contact then the heat is transferred from the hot object to the cold object via different modes of heat transmission. Hence, the cold object starts getting hot

B) The transmission of heat from the hot object to the cold object will stop as the temperature of the two object becomes equal to each other.
