The light that makes up the image of the fish is refracted when it leaves the water and enters the air. Your brain thinks the light traveled straight, so the fish is not located in the direction from you that your brain thinks it is.

The coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends upon
zzz [600]
<span>I think that the coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends on THE CHANGE IN VOLUME.

Cubical expansion, also known as, volumetric expansion has the following formula:

</span>Δ V = β V₁ ΔT

V₁ = initial volume of the body
ΔT = change in temperature of the body
β = coefficient of volumetric expansion.

β is defined as the <span>increase in volume per unit original volume per Kelvin rise in temperature.
</span>
With the above definition, it is safe to assume that the <span>coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends on the change in volume, which also changes in response to the change in temperature. </span>

A real battery with internal resistance 0.460 Ω and emf 9.00 V is used to charge a 56.0-µF capacitor. A 21.0-Ω resistor is put i
Margaret [11]

Answer: 1.176×10^-3 s

Explanation: The time constant formulae for an RC circuit is given below as

t =RC

Where t = time constant , R = magnitude of resistance = 21 ohms , C = capacitance of capacitor = 56 uf = 56×10^-6 F

t = 56×10^-6 × 21

t = 1176×10^-6

t = 1.176×10^-3 s
