Explain what happens to a light wave that hits the surface of a pool.

Physics
1 answer:
brilliants [131]3 years ago
5 0

A light wave that hits the surface of a pool gets refracted and gives us an apparent image of the surface of the pool, following the concepts of refraction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let’s recall the concept of refraction when a light wave passes from medium of rarer to denser. There is a change in the speed of light while travelling from medium of rarer to denser.

There can be a change in the direction as well. This property is known as “Refraction” and the best example to see refraction is watching the surface of a clean pond, lake or pool.

When the light travels from a rarer medium (air) to a denser medium (water), it changes its angle of direction and gets refracted and hit to our eye lenses. With this, we see the surface of the pool at a changed angle and it seems to be a bit shallow than its original depth.

Answer:

Refraction are in parts or are reflected brokely, like light against aluminum. While a reflection, is exact. Like a mirror.

A 30 kg male emperor penguin under a clear sky in the Antarctic winter loses very little heat to the environment by convection;
yarga [219]

Answer:

Rate of energy loss by radiation is 28.31 Watt

Explanation:

Given that;

m = 30 kg

power p = 12 W

emissivity e = 0.97

Surface Area A = 0.56 m²

outside of the penguin's body  T = −22°C

surroundings Temperature Ts = -38°C

the rate of energy loss by radiation = ?

Now, using Stefan-Boltzmann law;

P = σeA [ T⁴ - Ts⁴ ]

Stefan's constant σ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸

so we substitute

P = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ × 0.97 ×  0.56  [ (-22 + 273 k)⁴ - (-38 + 273 k )⁴]

= 3.079944 × 10⁻⁸ [ 919325376]

=  28.31 Watt

the rate of energy loss by radiation is 28.31 Watt

HW 3 a : Power Supply LTspice Design a resistor/LED circuit such that the diode will be brightly let when V out i s 5 volts. Ass
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

68 ohm

Explanation:

Output Voltage, Vout = 5 V

Forward voltage, Vf = 3.65 V

Forward current, If = 20 mA = 0.02 A

Let the resistance is R.

Use the formula

I_{f}=\frac{V_{out}-V_{f}}{R}

0.02=\frac{5-3.65}{R}

R = 67.5 ohm

R = 68 ohm ( approx.)

How does friction affect work
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Friction works against the motion and acts in the opposite direction. When one object is sliding on another it starts to slow down due to friction. ... By rubbing them together we generate friction and, therefore, heat. The force F of friction pushes back on the block

a sphere made of steel is put in water and,surprisingly, it floats. develop a possible explanation for this observation
sergij07 [2.7K]
Well,

One possibility is that there is much salt in the water, enough so that the sphere of steel floats.
