<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The period of the wave is <u><em>4 seconds</em></u>

<h3><em><u>Explanation;</u></em></h3>
  • <em><u>The period of a wave or periodic time is the time taken for one complete oscillation to occur.</u></em> In this case, one complete oscillation occurs when the wave moves from one crest to the next or a trough to the next. <em><u>This takes 4 seconds. Therefore the period is 4 seconds.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Frequency on the other hand is the number of oscillations by a wave in one second. Thus, f = 1/T, that is frequency is the reciprocal of periodic time.</u></em>

Refractive index of water is 1.3. calculate the speed of light in water.​
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The speed of light is faster in water. The Refractive index of water is 1.3 and the refractive index of glass is 1.5. From the equation n = c/v, we know that the refractive index of a medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of light in that medium. Hence, light travels faster in water.

Describe how a shovel makes moving dirt easier. Use the words “resistant force,” “effort force,” and “distance.” Tell what kind
timurjin [86]

A simple machine is a device for doing work that has only one part. Simple machines redirect or change the size of forces, allowing people to do work with less muscle effort and greater speed, thus making their work easier. There are six kinds of simple machines: the lever, the pulley, the wheel and axle, the inclined plane, the wedge, and the screw.
