What is the bouncing of light when it changes media

Physics
1 answer:
matrenka [14]3 years ago
5 0

When light passes from one medium to another, part of it continues on
into the new medium, while the rest of it bounces away from the boundary,
back into the first medium.

The part of the light that continues on into the new medium is <em>transmitted</em>
light.  Its forward progress at any point in its journey is <em>transmission</em>. 

Its direction usually changes as it crosses the boundary.  The bending is <em>
refraction</em>
.

The part of the light that bounces away from the boundary and heads back
into the first medium is <em>reflected</em> light.  The process of bouncing is <em>reflection</em>.

During a race, a sprinter accelerated 1.8 m/s 2 in 2.5 seconds. The sprint increase with this amount of acceleration by 4.5 m/s.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration a = velocity v / time t

1.8 = v/2.5

v = 4.5 m/s

The sprint increase with this amount of acceleration by 4.5 m/s.
