Answer:

it travels at a different refractive index.

Explanation:

for example when light travels into water, it slows down, causing it to continue to travel at a different or another angle or direction. hope this helped!

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.

Can the resistors in an "unbalanced" Wheatstone bridge circuit be treated as a combination of series and/or parallel resistors?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

The resistors in a unbalanced wheat stone bridge cannot be treated as a combination of series and parallel combination of resistors.

In case of balanced wheat stone bridge, the resistors can be treated as the combination of series and parallel combination.

Here, In the balanced wheat stone bridge

R1 and R2 be in series and Ra and Rx is series and then their combination is in parallel combination.

An Object weighs 600N on Earth. What would its weight be on on another planet of gravitational acceleration 8N/kg?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Correct option is A)

Weight on earth = 600N

Let g= 10m/s2 on earth

Mass on earth = 10600=60 kg

Now, since mass is a constant quantity so, it will remain 60 kg on the moon also.

Now, weight on moon = mg′

m= mass =60 kg

g′ = acc. due to gravity on moon = 61th the value on earth

So, Weight on moon = 61th of the weight on earth 

⇒ Weight on the moon =600×61=100 N
