What causes light to bend when it moves from one transparent medium to another?

Physics
2 answers:
Kay [80]4 years ago

Answer:

A change in speed

Explanation:

Light bends when it moves at a particular angle into a medium that has a different refractive index than the one it was coming from.

This bending is as a result of the change in speed of light as it enters the medium with a different refractive index.

This action is known as Refraction of light.

Refraction depends on the change in speed of light as it changes media and the angle of refraction depends on the angle of incidence of the ray of light and the refractive index of the material.

Whenever light goes from transparent to another medium or from rarer to denser medium or vice versa, it's speed changes and hence light bends.

A pipe open only at one end has a fundamental frequency of 266 Hz. A second pipe, initially identical to the first pipe, is shor
Alika [10]

Answer:

1.16cm were cut off the end of the second pipe

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency in the first pipe is,

<em><u>Since the speed of sound is not given in the question, we would assume it to be 340m/s</u></em>

f1 = v/4L, where v is the speed of sound and L is the length of the pipe

266 = 340/4L

L = 0.31954 m = 0.32 m

It is given that the second pipe is identical to the first pipe by cutting off a portion of the open end. So, consider L’ be the length that was cut from the first pipe.

<u>So, the length of the second pipe is L – L’</u>

Then, the fundamental frequency in the second pipe is

f2 = v/4(L - L’)

<u>The beat frequency due to the fundamental frequencies of the first and second pipe is</u>

f2 – f1 = 10hz

[v/4(L - L’)] – 266 = 10

[v/4(L – L’)] = 10 + 266

[v/4(L – L’)] = 276

(L - L’) = v/(4 x 276)

(L – L’) = 340/(4 x 276)

(L – L’) = 0.30797

L’ = 0.31954 – 0.30797

L’ = 0.01157 m = 1.157 cm ≅ 1.16cm  

Hence, 1.16 cm were cut from the end of the second pipe

Which part of a scientific argument must be supported by valid data? claim evidence reasoning theory
nikitadnepr [17]
This question is a bit ambiguous because all parts of a scientific argument must be supported by valid data. However, among the choices, the closest synonym to "valid data" would be evidence. Evidence is the body of facts or information that support  a given idea.

Suppose you have two small pith balls that are 5.5 cm apart and have equal charges of -29 nc?
Alina [70]
The question is missing, however, I guess the problem is asking for the value of the force acting between the two balls.

The Coulomb force between the two balls is:
F= k_e \frac{ q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where k_e=8.99\cdot10^9~N m^2 C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant, q_1=q_2=29~nC=29\cdot 10^{-9}~C is the intensity of the two charges, and r=5.5~cm=0.055~m is the distance between them.

Substituting these numbers into the equation, we get
F=2.5~10^{-3}~N

The force is repulsive, because the charges have same sign and so they repel each other.

A motivated mule can accelerate an empty cart of mass m - 180 kg from rest to 5.0 m/s in 10 s.
kolezko [41]

When the mass of the cart changes, the time to travel at 4.6 m/s is 28.11 s.

<h3>Acceleration of the mule</h3>

The acceleration of mule is calculated as follows;

a = v/t

a = 5/10

a = 0.5 m/s²

<h3>For constant applied force</h3>

F1 = F2

m₁v₁/t₁ = m₂v₂/t₂

(180 x 5) / 10 = (550 x 4.6)/t

90 = 2530/t

t = 2530/90

t = 28.11 s

Thus, when the mass of the cart changes, the time to travel at 4.6 m/s is 28.11 s.
