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.

Answer:

Speed and velocity both measure an object’s rate of motion. However, speed is a scalar quantity, which means that it can be described with a numerical value. Velocity is a vector quantity, which depends on direction as well as magnitude. Read these definition for more information:

speed - the rate of distance traveled by a moving object over time

velocity - the rate of displacement of a moving object over time

Basically, an object’s speed tells you how fast it’s going. Its velocity tells you how fast it’s going in a certain direction. You use speed measurements in your daily life, but physicists depend on velocity measurements more frequently in their work.

The centripetal force : F = 293.3125 N

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass = 65 kg

v = 9.5 m/s

r = 20 m

Required

the centripetal force

Solution

Centripetal force is a force acting on objects that move in a circle in the direction toward the center of the circle  

\large {\boxed {\bold {F = \frac {mv ^ 2} {R}}}

F = centripetal force, N  

m = mass, Kg  

v = linear velocity, m / s  

r = radius, m  

Input the value :

F = 65 x 9.5² / 20

F = 293.3125 N
