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)

Two parallel plates are 1 cm apart and are connected to a 500 V source. What force will be exerted on a single electron half way
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: 8*10^-15 N

Explanation: In order to calculate the force applied on an electron in the middle of the two planes at 500 V we know that,  F=q*E

The electric field between  the plates is given by:

E = ΔV/d = 500 V/0.01 m=5*10^3 N/C

the force applied to the electron is: F=e*E=8*10^-15 N

Which of these would not contribute to a global increase in temperature?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

planting trees - increasing the amount of animal life on earth

Explanation:

from all the other options given, all except planting trees will increase global temperature.

1. deforestation: this removes vegetative cover and the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.

2. increasing the use of gasoline burning vehicles: burning gasoline produces carbon dioxide which is a green house gas which traps heat in the atmosphere and causes global warming

3. increasing the industrial release of carbon dioxide: carbon dioxide is released when gasoline is burned in industries, this in-turn causes global warming.

Trees produces oxygen and sucks in carbon dioxide which causes global warming. more trees mean more oxygen and less carbon dioxide which translates to less global increase in temperature
