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.

An automobile with tires that have a radius of 0.260 m travels 76000 km before wearing them out. How many revolutions do the tir

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

circumference of the tyre = 2πr = 2 x 3.14 x 0.26 = 1.6328m

76000km = 76000000m

no of revolutions required

= 76000000/1.6328 = 46546 revolutions.

From the top of a tall building, a gun is fired. The bullet leaves the gun at a speed of 340 m/s, parallel to the ground. As the

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The launching point is at a distance D = 962.2m and H = 39.2m

Explanation:

It would have been easier with the drawing. This problem is a projectile launching exercise, as they give us data after the window passes and the wall collides, let's calculate with this data the speeds at the point of contact with the window.

X axis

x = Vox t

t = x / vox

t = 7.1 / 340

t = 2.09 10-2 s

In this same time the height of the window fell

Y = Voy t - ½ g t²

Let's calculate the initial vertical speed, this speed is in the window

Voy = (Y + ½ g t²) / t

Voy = [0.6 + ½ 9.8 (2.09 10⁻²)²] /2.09 10⁻² = 0.579 / 0.0209

Voy = 27.7 m / s

We already have the speed at the point of contact with the window. Now let's calculate the distance (D) and height (H) to the launch point, for this we calculate the time it takes to get from the launch point to the window; at this point the vertical speed is Vy2 = 27.7 m / s

Vy = Voy - gt₂

Vy = 0 -g t₂

t₂ = Vy / g

t₂ = 27.7 / 9.8

t₂ = 2.83 s

This is the time it also takes to travel the horizontal and vertical distance

X = Vox t₂

D = 340 2.83

D = 962.2 m

Y = Voy₂– ½ g t₂²

Y = 0 - ½ g t2

H = Y = - ½ 9.8 2.83 2

H = 39.2 m

The launching point is at a distance D = 962.2m and H = 39.2m

The Doppler shift can be observed when ____________. Check all that apply. Group of answer choices the source of sound moves tow

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

the source of sound moves towards an observe

Explanation:

The Doppler effect is related to waves such as sound or light. the effect causes an increase or decrease in the frequency of sound light or other waves when the souces either move towards or away from the observer. For example the siren of the train to a person on the platform, the redshift seen by astronomers.

Therefore, The Doppler shift can be observed when the source of sound moves towards an observer From a place closer to the observer than the last wave's crest, each consecutive wave crest is sent. Each wave therefore, takes a little less time than the preceding wave to reach the observer.

2. A woman prevents a 3kg brick from falling by pressing it against a vertical wall. The coefficient of friction

Anettt [7]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

49 N

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

Mass of the brick as 3 kg
The coefficient of friction as 0.6

We are required to determine the force that must be applied by the woman so the brick does not fall.

We need to importantly note that;
For the brick not to fall the, the force due to gravity is equal to the friction force acting on the brick.

That is; Friction force = Mg

But; Friction force = μ F

Therefore;

μ F = mg

0.6 F = 3 × 9.8

0.6 F = 29.4

F = 49 N

Therefore, she must use a force of 49 N
