Refraction of light occurs due to the different refractive indices of the medium in which the light travels.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The medium through which the light travels have different refractive indices, because of which the light rays crosses the boundary of the refractive indices. They are shifted from the travelling line according to the refractive index of the medium and hence, refraction is seen.

For example, air is medium with less refractive index as compared to glass, and therefore the light ray when enters into glass, travels slow and refracted from the actual path towards the normal of the ray.

Ilya and Anya each can run at a speed of 8.90mph and walk at a speed of 3.80mph . They set off together on a route of length 5.0
jekas [21]

Answer:

a) t = 56.34 minutes

b) v = 5.32mph

c) t = 47.22 minutes

d) v = 6.35 mph

Explanation:

Given;

The speed of Ilya and Anya are

Run = 8.90mph

Walk = 3.80mph

distance = 5.00 miles

a) anya walk half the distance and run half the distance.

Speed = distance/time

time = distance/speed

t1 = 5×0.5/3.80 = 0.658hr

t2 = 5×0.5/8.90 = 0.281hr

t = t1 + t2 = 0.658+0.281 = 0.939hr × 60minutes/hr

t = 56.34 minutes

b) average speed = total distance/total time taken

v = 5.00miles/0.939hr = 5.32mph

c) Ilya walk half the time and run half the time.

t1 = t2 = t/2

Distance = speed × time

Substituting the values.

5 = 3.80(t/2) + 8.90(t/2)

5 = 12.70(t/2)

t = 10/12.70

t = 0.787 hr × 60 minutes/hr

t = 47.22 minutes

d) average speed = 5miles/0.787hr

v = 6.35 mph
