Answer:

Explanation:

in physics, the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed. For example, waves in deep water travel faster than in shallow.from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium. Refraction of light is the most commonly observed phenomenon, but other waves such as sound waves and water waves also experience refraction in other words it can be all of them or i can narrow it down some more it can have a change in dirction when light enters into a traveling point for example after moving through air it passes through a prism called compare reflection

The dimension of Radius of gyration

serg [7]

Answer: So finally, the dimensional formula of the radius of gyration will be written as: [M0LT0]. The power of zero on the dimension of the mass and time shows that the mass and the time dimensions are zero for the radius of gyration. Hope this helps (:

if the intensity of a person's voice is 4.6 x 10^-7 w/m^2 at a distance of 2.0 m, how much sound power does that person generate

777dan777 [17]

The sound power the person generated is $2.313 \times 10^{-5} \ W$ .

<h3>Area of the sound wave</h3>

The area of the sound wave is calculated as follows;

$A = 4\pi r^2\\\\A = 4 \pi \times (2)^2\\\\A = 50.272 \ m^2$

<h3>Power generated</h3>

The sound power the person generated is calculated as follows;

$P = I A\\\\P = 4.6\times 10^{-7} \ W/m^2 \ \ \times \ \ 50.272 \ m^2\\\\P = 2.313 \times 10^{-5} \ W$

Describe the interactions with the Sun, Earth and Moon system that result in Tides.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:The sun, earth, and moon are held together by gravity, and they interact in lots of ways.

The tides are another interaction in the sun-earth-moon system. The tides happen because the moon and sun pull on the oceans, causing them to rise and fall each day. The moon has a bigger effect than the sun because it is closer.
