There is less difference between the speed of light in glass and the speed of light in water than there is between the speed of

light in glass and the speed of light in air. Does this mean that a magnifying glass will magnify more or magnify less when it is used under water rather than in air?

Answer: no, the magnifying glass has nothing to do with the speed of light.

Explanation: When light moves between 2 media (refraction), part of it properties that changes during this process is it speed.

The change in speed is dependent on the refractive index of the 2 media and as given by snell's law, the refractive index is inversely proportional to wave speed.

This implies that moving from dense to a more dense medium reduces wave speed and moving from dense to less dense medium increases wave speed.

For the first statement, light moved from glass to water, it implies that it moves from a dense to a less dense medium, it wave speed increases in water.

For the second statement, light moved from glass to air, it implies that it also moves from a dense to a less dense medium and it wave speed will also increase in air.

Looking at both second medium, for the first statement, the second medium is water, and for the second statement, the second medium is air.

Air is less dense that water, hence light travel faster in air than in water.

Thus we can see that the magnification property of a glass has nothing to do with the wave speed, just the refractive indices of the media.

A computer monitor uses 200 W of power. How much energy does it use in 10 seconds?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is 0.556 Watts</u>

Explanation:

The computer monitor uses 200 Watts of power in an hour, that is the standard measure.

If we want to know, how much energy the computer monitor uses in one second, we will have to divide both sides of the equation into 3,600.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds (60 x 60)

Energy per second = 200/3600

Energy per second = 0.0556 Watts

Therefore to calculate how much energy is used in 10 seconds, we do this:

Energy per second x 10

<u>0.0556 x 10 = 0.556 Watts</u>

<u>The computer monitor uses 0.556 Watts in 10 seconds</u>

EARTH SCIENCE PLEASE ANSWER
Rzqust [24]

The Earth Science answers are shown below.

Explanation:

1. The movement of the sun will change the angle it has on the sky in 30 minutes, it is always moving from the east to the west, so in 30 minutes it would move more west, no matter at what time you make the experiment. From Earth, the Sun looks like it moves across the sky in the daytime and appears to disappear at night. This is because the Earth is spinning towards the east. The Earth spins about its axis, an imaginary line that runs through the middle of the Earth between the North and South poles

2. No, both marks are the same distance from the ground.  the amount of stick above the mark will not affect the distance that the shadow of the mark moves at all. The Sun's clockwise motion is an apparent motion caused by the rotation of the Earth. The counterclockwise rotation of the Earth in the Sun's light causes the shadow of the gnomon to move clockwise. As the Sun appears to move higher above the horizon before solar noon, the shadow grows shorter and shorter.

3. In the summer the shadows are shorter, and in the winter the shadows are longer. In the morning your shadow will point west and in the afternoon it will point east. If your shadow is long, it is near sunrise or sunset. Your shadow is shortest around noon.

4. If the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, then the Earth should rotate in the opposite direction from west to east (anti-clockwise). Earth's spin (or rotation) on its axis. Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 89.5 g. If 345.2 J of heat are required to heat the substance from 285 K to 305 K
Zinaida [17]

Heat gained in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:<span>

Heat = mC(T2-T1)
345.2 = 89.5(C)(305 - 285)
C = 0.1928 </span>J/g•K

Which part of the wave is changed when there is interference?
Rasek [7]
When 2 waves interefere (or collide with eachother), it usually affects the crest of the wave. If both waves collide with both crests, it will create an amplified crest, and the waves will pass through eachother afterwards. If a trough of a wave meets a crest, it will cause the crest to be lowered shortly before both continue on.
