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.

A 900 kg steel beam is supported by the two ropes shown in (Figure 1) . Calculate the tension in the rope.
Rzqust [24]
Let T1 and T2 be tension in ropes1 and 2 respectively. 
<span>since system is stationary (equilibrium), considering both ropes + beam as a system </span>

<span>for horizontal equilibrium (no movement in that direction, so resultant force must be zero horizontally) </span>
<span>T1sin(20) = T2sin(30) </span>
<span>=> T1 = T2sin(30) / sin(20) </span>

<span>for vertical equilibrium, (no movement in this direction, so resultant force must be zero vertically) </span>
<span>T1cos(20) + T2cos(30) = mg </span>

<span>m = 900kg, substituting for T1 </span>
<span>T2sin(30)*cos(20)/sin(20) + T2cos(30) = 900g </span>
<span>2.328*T2 = 900*9.8 </span>
<span>T2 = 3788.65N </span>
<span>so T1 from (1) </span>
<span>T1 = 5535.21N</span>

When we give the speed of a car what frame of reference are we using?
Rus_ich [418]

Frame of reference, in simplest terms, describes the state of motion of the observer. The frame of reference may also be described by using a set of coordinates, time and motion. We formulate all our equations and solve them using the frame of reference.
