A.  the medium through which the light travels changes.

Explanation:

Light waves will continue to travel in a straight line in all directions from their source unless the medium through which the light travels changes.

A change in medium causes light to exhibit different properties. Also, when light hits an obstacle, they can be diffracted.

  • The way light travels on crossing a boundary differs.
  • At the boundary between two medium, light can either be reflected back or refracted when they cross the medium
  • This will cause the light rays to bend towards or away from the normal depending on the properties of the medium.

Which of the following would decrease the resistance to the flow of an electric current through a body?
Nookie1986 [14]
R = ρ L/A. R= resistance, ρ= resistivity, L= length of the conductor. A = area of the conductor. Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor. So if length of the conductor is decreased, resistance will also decrease. Hence A is the correct option

The area of an equilaterla triangle is increasing at a rate of 5 m^2/hr. find the rate at witch the height is chganging when the
Lena [83]

The rate at which the height is changing is ( 5 / x ) m / hr

We know that,

Area of an equilateral triangle A = \sqrt{3} x^{2} / 4

h = \sqrt{3} x / 2

Where,

x = Side

h = Height

Given that,

dA / dt = 5 m^{2} / hr

h = \sqrt{3} x / 2

Differentiate both sides with respect to t

dh / dt = ( \sqrt{3}  / 2 ) ( dx / dt )

dx / dt = ( 2 /  \sqrt{3} ) ( dh / dt )

A = \sqrt{3} x^{2} / 4

Differentiate both sides with respect to t

dA / dt = ( \sqrt{3} / 4 ) ( 2x ) ( dx / dt )

5 =  ( \sqrt{3} / 4 ) ( 2x ) ( 2 /  \sqrt{3} ) ( dh / dt )

dh / dt = ( 5 / x ) m / hr

Rate of change of height is defined as the rate at which height of an object changes with respect to time. It is represented as dh / dt

Therefore, the rate at which the height is changing is ( 5 / x ) m / hr

During a chemical reaction, Bromine (Br) would be expected to
Andrew [12]

Answer:

During a chemical reaction, Bromine (Br) would be expected to  <u><em>gain 1 valence electron to have a full octet.</em></u>

Explanation:

In the periodic table the elements are ordered so that those with similar chemical properties are located close to each other.

The elements are arranged in horizontal rows, called periods, which coincide with the last electronic layer of the element. That is, an element with five electronic shells will be in the fifth period.

The columns of the table are called groups. The elements that make up each group coincide in their electronic configuration of valence electrons, that is, they have the same number of electrons in their last.

The elements tend to resemble the closest noble gases in terms of their electronic configuration of the last layer, that is, having eight electrons in the last layer to be stable.

Bromine belongs to group 17 (VII A), which indicates that it has 7 electrons in its last shell. So bromine requires more energy to lose all 7 electrons and generate stability, than it does to gain 1 electron and fill in 8 electrons to be stable. So:

<u><em>During a chemical reaction, Bromine (Br) would be expected to  gain 1 valence electron to have a full octet.</em></u>
