Can light be reflected and refracted at the same time?

1 answer:

6 0

Yes, think of a window for example. When you look out of it, you can see whatever is beyond the window. Sometimes, you might even see your own reflection in the window, if the light rays hit the glass and reflect your image in the right direction. This is often debated in quantum mechanics because of the outcome of an interaction between two particles. Another example would be water in a lake or perhaps your pool. You can see into the water, but sometimes, at your own reflection as well.

A 2 m tall, 0.5 m inside diameter tank is filled with water. A 10 cm hole is opened 0.75 m from the bottom of the tank. What is

valina [46]

Answer:

4.75 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity of the existing water is shown below:

Data provided in the question

Tall = 2 m

Inside diameter tank = 2m

Hole opened = 10 cm

Bottom of the tank = 0.75 m

Based on the above information, first we have to determine the height which is

= 2 - 0.75 - 0.10

= 2 - 0.85

= 1.15 m

We assume the following things

1. Compressible flow

2. Stream line followed

Now applied the Bernoulli equation to section 1 and 2

So we get

$\frac{P_1}{p_g} + \frac{v_1^2}{2g} + z_1 = \frac{P_2}{p_g} + \frac{v_2^2}{2g} + z_2$

where,

P_1 = P_2 = hydrostatic

z_1 = 0

z_2 = h

Now

$\frac{v_1^2}{2g} + 0 = \frac{v_2^2}{2g} + h\\\\V_2 < < V_1 or V_2 = 0\\\\Therefore\ \frac{v_1^2}{2g} = h\\\\v_1^2 = 2gh\\\\ v_1 = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v_1 = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.15}$

= 4.7476 m/sec

= 4.75 m/s

How does the current in a circuit change if the resistance is doubled? The current is halved. The current is doubled. The curren

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The current is halved

Explanation:

The relationship between the current and the resistance is given by Ohm's Law, as follows:

$V = IR\\I = \frac{V}{R}$

where,

V = Voltage

I = Current

R = Resistance

Therefore, if we double the resistance:

$I' = \frac{V}{2R}\\\\I' = \frac{1}{2}I$

Hence the correct option is:

<u>The current is halved</u>

a measure has true value of 2.00and the measurement value was found to e 1.95.calculate the precision of the measuring instrumen

DiKsa [7]

The precision of the measuring instruments will be 2.5%.

<h3>What is precision?</h3>

It should be noted that precision simply means how close a test result will be when it's repeated.

In this case, the precision of the measuring instruments will be:

= (2 - 1.95)/2.

= 0.05/2

= 2.5%

Therefore, the the precision of the measuring instruments will be 2.5%.
