Answer:

b) The light slows down and it changes direction towards the perpendicular.

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

Light travels at a slower speed in water as compared to air because there are more number of interfering molecules in the path of the light in case of water as compared to liquid.

<u>When a light travels from lower denser medium say water to higher denser medium say water, it bends towards the perpendicular as its speed reduces in that medium.</u>

Determine the relationship between neutron stars and black holes
Elis [28]

Answer:

When a dying star has a mass which is 1.4 to 3 times that of the sun, it will form a neutron star. Stars with a mass greater than thrice the sun's mass, black hole is formed.

Water flowing through a cylindrical pipe suddenly comes to a section of the pipe where the diameter decreases to 86% of its prev
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The speed in the smaller section is 43.2\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Assuming all the parts of the pipe are at the same height, we can use continuity equation for incompressible fluids:

\Delta Q=0 (1)

With Q the flux of water that is Av with A the cross section area and v the velocity, so by (1):

A_{2}v_{2}-A_{1}v_{1}=0

subscript 2 is for the smaller section and 1 for the larger section, solving for v_{2}:

v_{2}=\frac{A_{1}v_{1}}{A_{2}} (2)

The cross section areas of the pipe are:

A_{1}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}

A_{2}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}

but the problem states that the diameter decreases 86% so d_{2}=0.86d_{1}, using this on (2):

v_{2}=\frac{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}v_{1}}{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}}=\frac{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}}v_{1}}{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}}(0.86\cancel{d_{1}})^{2}}\approx1.35v_{1}

v_{2}\approx(1.35)(32)\approx43.2\,\frac{m}{s}
