Light is refracted when it crosses the interface from air to glass in which it moves more slowly.
Since the light speed changes at the interface, the wave length of the light must change too. The wave length decreases as the light enter the medium and the light wave changes direction.
Answer: A. Two waves have a displacement in opposite directions
Explanation:
Answer:
The total elongation for the tension member is of 0.25mm
Explanation:
Assuming that material is under a linear deformation then the relation between the stress and the specific elongation is given as:
(1)
Where E is the modulus of elasticity, σ the stress and ε the specific deformation. Also, the total longitudinal elongation can be expressed as:
(2)
Here L is the member extension and δL the change total longitudinal elongation.
Now if the stress is found then the deformation can be calculated by solving the stress-deformation equation (1). The stress applied sigama is computed dividing the axial load P by the cross-sectional area A:
Solving for epsilon and replacing the calculated value for the stress and the value for the modulus of elasticity:




Finally introducing the specific deformation and the longitudinal extension in the equation of total elongation (2):
