Answer: The correct answer is "Light or sound waves change direction"

Explanation:

Refraction: Refraction occurs when a light rays gets bend while travelling from one medium to the another medium due to change in the speed of light or change in the direction. From the given options, the best definition of refraction is "Light or sound waves change direction".

Reflection: Reflection occurs when the light rays get reflected back from the obstacle in a same medium without getting absorb or transmit in it.

From the given options, the best definition of reflection is "Light or sound wave bounce off a medium.

Therefore, the correct option is (A).

The answer to this is A. this is because, refraction with a light or sound wave changing its direction involve propagation,(in which propagation is the change in direction of a light or sound wave)

What potential difference is required to cause 4.00 a to flow through a resistance of 330 ω?
Alisiya [41]
We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states that an Ohmic conductor the following relationship holds:
\Delta V = I R
where
\Delta V is the potential difference applied to the resistor
I is the current flowing through it
R is the resistance

In our problem, I=4.00 A and R=330 \omega, so the potential difference is
\Delta V = IR=(4.00 A)(330 \omega)=1320 V

Suppose you illuminate two thin slits by monochromatic coherent light in air and find that they produce their first interference
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

1.7323

Explanation:

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to refractive indices and Snell's law.

From the data given we have to:

n_{air}=1

\theta_{liquid} = 19.38\°

\theta_{air}35.09\°

Where n means the index of refraction.

We need to calculate the index of refraction of the liquid, then applying Snell's law we have:

n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2

n_{air}sin\theta_{air} = n_{liquid}sin\theta_{liquid}

n_{liquid} = \frac{n_{air}sin\theta_{air}}{sin\theta_{liquid}}

Replacing the values we have:

n_{liquid}=\frac{(1)sin(35.09)}{sin(19.38)}

n_liquid = 1.7323

Therefore the refractive index for the liquid is 1.7323
