What happens to a light wave when it travels from air into glass?

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.

An object with kinetic energy k explodes into two pieces, each of which moves with twice the speed of the original object.
zlopas [31]
<span>Assuming that the momenta of the two pieces are equal: when they have equal velocities, then the masses of the two pieces are also equal. Since there is no force from outside of the system, the center of mass moves on with the same velocity as before the equation. So the two pieces must fly at the side side of the mass center, i.e., they must always be at 90° to the side of the mass center. Otherwise it would not be the mass center, respectively the pieces would not have equal velocities. This is only possible, when the angle of their velocity with the initial direction is 60°. Because, cos (60°) = 1/2 = v/(2v).</span>

I have a voltage source of 12V but a light that only burns at 5V. The lamp works on 18 mA. Calculate the resistance that you EXT
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

Explanation:

Given;

Voltage source, E = 12 V

Voltage rating of the lamp, V = 5 V

Current through the lamp, I = 18 mA

Extra voltage or potential drop, IR =  E- V  

                                                    IR = 12 V - 5 V = 7 V

The resistance that will provide this potential drop (7 V) is calculated as follows:

IR = V

R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{7 \ V}{18 \times 10^{-3} A} \ = 388.89 \ ohms

Therefore, the resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

Clothes dryer uses about 3:00 amps of current from a 240-volt line how much power does it use
kirill115 [55]

Electrical power is defined as

P = I * V

I = 3 amperes

V = 240 volts

Power = 3 * 240

Power = 720 Watts. Answer
