Waves change direction when encountering boundaries in refraction but not in reflection.

Waves change direction when encountering boundaries in both reflection and refraction.

Waves do not change direction when encountering boundaries in either reflection or refraction.

When a wave bounces off a barrier and changes direction that is called reflection. Refraction, however occurs when a wave changed mediums, so if a wave were to go from moving in air to moving in water, the wave would change a direction that is based upon the index of refraction of that given medium.

So, if the answer is classifying a medium as a "boundary" then yes, they both change direction, however, a physical boundary only causes a change in direction in reflection.

How far will a rubber ball fall in 10 seconds?
Inessa [10]

If it's not moving at all at the beginning of the 10 seconds, then it falls 490 meters straight down in 10 seconds.

(Note: This is true of all objects on Earth . . . rubber balls, feathers, grains of sand, school buses, battle ships . . . everything.  As long as air doesn't hold them back.  Anything falling from rest falls 490 meters in the first 10 seconds.)

You hold a 0.125 kg glider A and a 0.500 kg glider B at rest on an air track with a compressed spring of negligible mass between
o-na [289]

Answer:

Magnitude |VB| = 0.32 m/s

and

Direction is to the left

Explanation:

given data

glider A mass = 0.125 kg

glider B mass = 0.500 kg

glider A move = 0.960 m to the left

solution

we use here Conservation of momentum  that is

M1 × U1 + M2 × U2 =M1 × V1 + M2 × V2    ........................1

put here value and we get

0.125 × 0 + 0.500 × 0 = 0.125 × 0.960 + 0.375 × VB

VB = −0.32  m/s

Magnitude |VB| = 0.32 m/s

and

Direction is to the left

A mercury thermometer is constructed as
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The change in height of the mercury is approximately  2.981 cm

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for thermal expansion in volume is:

\frac{\Delta V}{V_0} =\alpha_V\, \Delta\, T\\\Delta V = V_0\,\, \alpha_V\,\,\Delta C

from which we solved for the change in volume \Delta V due to a given change in temperature \Delta T

We can estimate the initial volume of the mercury in the spherical bulb of diameter 0.24 cm ( radius R = 0.12 cm) using the formula for the volume of a sphere:

V_0=\frac{4}{3} \pi \, R^3\\V_0=\frac{4}{3} \pi \, (0.12\,cm)^3\\V_0=0.007238\,cm^3

Therefore, the change in volume with a change in temperature of 36°C becomes:

\Delta V = V_0\,\, \alpha_V\,\,\Delta C\\\Delta V = 0.007238229\, cm^3\,(0.000182)\,(36)\\\Delta V=0.0000474248\, cm^3

Now, we can use this difference in volume, to estimate the height of the cylinder of mercury with diameter 0.0045 cm (radius r= 0.00225 cm):

V_{cyl}=\pi r^2\,h\\h =\frac{V_{cyl}}{\pi r^2} \\h=\frac{0.0000474248\, cm^3}{\pi \, (0.00225\,cm)^2} \\h=2.98188 \,cm
