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

Physics

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.

Take the mechanical equivalent of heat as 4 J/cal. A 10-g bullet moving at 2000 m/s plunges
klasskru [66]

Assuming that all the bullet’s energy heats the paraffin, its final temperature is 27.1 degree C. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness of the material.

The energy of the bullet E = 1/2 mv²

E = 1/2 x 10 x 10⁻³ x (2000)²

E = 2 x 10⁴ J

This heat is used in heating the paraffin

E = m x c ΔT = m x c (Tfinal -Tinitial)

2 x 10⁴ J = 1 x 2.8 x 10³ x (Tfinal -20)

Tfinal = 27.1°C

Thus, the final temperature is 27.1 degree C. The correct option is D.

Gemiola [76]
The shadow that will be protected on the ground will represent the hawk's horizontal position. therefore it will move at the hawk's horizontal velocity component, which is:

A centrifuge in a biology laboratory rotates at an angular speed of 3,400 rev/min. When switched off, it rotates 48.0 times befo
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

- 210 rad/s²

Explanation:

n = frequency of rotation = 3400/60 = 170/3 per sec.

angular velocity  ω ( 0 ) at time 0  = 2π n = 2π x 170/3

angular velocity at time t = ω(t) = 0

now, ω²( t) = w²(o) + 2α Φ ( α = angular acceleration and Φ = angular displacement) = 2π x 48 rad.

0 = ( 2π x 170/3 )² + 2α x 48 x 2π

α = - (2π x 170 x 170 )/ (3 x 3 x 2 x 48 ) = 210 rad / s²
