REfraction of the rays coming from the object through the water and then being refracted into the air
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
4 0

The correct answer to the question is : Refraction.

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand refraction.

Refraction is the optical phenomenon in which light rays are bent at the interface of the two media due to their optical density difference.

When light comes from optical rarer medium to optical denser medium, the rays are bent towards the normal at the point of incidence.

Similarly light rays bend away from the normal when they pass from optical denser medium to optical rarer medium.

As per the questions, the object is present inside the water.  The water is optically denser as compared to air. Hence, the light coming from the object is bent at the air-water interface due to refraction of light. That's why the  object is appeared to be bent.

Hence, the correct answer is refraction.

What properties of the wave define why it is found within this area of the spectrum?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed and medium are properties of a wave which is in common within an area of the spectrum of visible light. i.e;

Their medium of propagation

They both travel at the same speed ( speed of light )

The properties mentioned above are properties that define that wave is found within an area spectrum for visible light.

A body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel, and it travels a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds
igomit [66]
The total distance traveled by the body is the sum of the distance it traveled for the first five seconds which is 10 m and that of the next five seconds which is 30 meters. Thus, the total distance traveled is 40 m. Dividing this by the time, will give the average speed. The average speed is therefore, 4 m/s. The answer is letter C.

How do natural gas and crude oil compare as energy resources?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Crude oil and natural gas are both energy commodities. As such, we use these fuels to heat and cool our homes or supply other energy needs. The price relationship between crude oil and natural gas is an inter-commodity spread, in which the prices between the two change in relation to each other.

Historically, in an inter-commodity spread, when one becomes more expensive, the other will be more desirable for consumers because of the lower prices and higher supply.

Many companies that produce crude oil also produce natural gas. Natural gas and crude oil exploration and production are often related because the release and capture of natural gas can occur during the oil drilling process.

The relationship between crude oil and natural gas changed around the turn of the 21st century due to the discovery of more natural gas reserves in the United States.

Huge natural gas reserves, previously undiscovered in the Marcellus and Utica shale regions of the U.S., altered the price relationship between these two energy commodities, lowering the price of natural gas in the U.S. while the price of oil continued to rise between 2000 and 2014.

Attributed to slowing growth of emerging economies and a reduction in oil demand, a drastic drop in the price of crude oil occurred in late 2014, continuing through early 2016. By 2018, the price of crude oil crept back up to over $70 per barrel. However, due to the coronavirus in 2020 almost halting demand for oil, crude oil prices dropped to historic lows, while natural gas dropped a little, but held pretty steady.
