Refraction refers to C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon typical of wave. Refraction occurs when a wave travels through the boundary between two different mediums. When this occurs, the wave changes speed, wavelength and direction (but the frequency remains the same).

In particular, the direction of the refracted ray is determined by Snell's Law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1 is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the direction of the incident wave and the normal to the boundary

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction, which is the angle between the direction of the refracted wave and the normal to the boundary

Therefore, the correct description of refraction is

C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

Unpolarized light with an intensity of 22.4 ????ux passes through a polarizer whose transmission axis is vertically oriented. (a
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a)      I₁ = 11.2 Lux , vertical direction , b)      I₂ = 1.44 Lux

Explanation:

a) A polarized is a system that absorbs light that is not polarized in the direction of its axis, therefore half of the non-polarized light must be absorbed

consequently the above the processed light has half of the incident intensity and the directional of the polarized

          I₁ = I₀ / 2

          I₁ = 22.4 / 2

          I₁ = 11.2 Lux

is polarized in the vertical direction

b) The polarized light falls on a second polarizer, therefore it must comply with the law of Malus

         I₂ = I₁ cos² θ

         I₂ = 11.2 cos² 69

         I₂ = 1.44 Lux

If you started the motor of a boat in the middle of a lake, who would detect the sound of the motor first: a friend sitting on t
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.

Explanation:

  • The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
  • Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
  • In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
  • So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.
