Explanation:

The refraction is the change in the direction of light while travelling from the one medium to another due to having different speeds in different mediums.

To determine how much light gets refracted, it depends on the density of substance and the wavelength and the angle at which light enters the substance.

Light travels more slowly in denser medium than the rarer medium. The refractive index of glass is more than water or air. Light gets refracted more in this. When the light travels from rarer to denser then the light will get bend towards the normal. When the light travels from denser to rarer then the light will get bend away from the normal.

Glass is more denser than air or water. Water is more denser than the air. When light travels from air to glass then the light gets bends towards the normal. When the light travels from glass to the air then light gets bends away from the normal.

Therefore, the light gets refracted more in the glass than air to water.

A conductor carrying a current I = 16.5 A is directed along the positive x axis and perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A

Jet001 [13]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Magnetic Force, this is given by the product between the current, the body length, the magnetic field and the angle between the force and the magnetic field, mathematically that is,

$F = ILBsin \theta$

Here,

I = Current

L = Length

B = Magnetic Field

$\theta$ = Angle between Force and Magnetic Field

But $\theta = 90\°$

$F = ILB$

Rearranging to find the Magnetic Field,

$B = \frac{F}{IL}$

Here the force per unit length,

$B = \frac{1}{I}\frac{F}{L}$

Replacing with our values,

$B = \frac{0.130N/m}{16.5}$

$B = 0.0078T$

Therefore the magnitude of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes is 0.0078T

1. Was your hypothesis correct? Why or why not?

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

1. Upon analysis of the results, a hypothesis can be rejected or modified, but it can never be proven to be correct 100 percent of the time. For example, relativity has been tested many times, so it is generally accepted as true, but there could be an instance, which has not been encountered, where it is not true.

2.Mass is the amount of matter in a body, normally measured in grams or kilograms etc. Weight is a force that pulls on a mass and is measured in Newtons. So on Earth, Weight would be your (mass x acceleration( 9.8 ) . Density, there are lots of kinds of density I guess, but the one you are talking about is density = mass / volume. Density basically means how much mass is occupied in a specific volume or space. Different materials of the same size may have different masses because of its density. Density in this case is measured in kg / m^3 or kg / L or g / m^3 etc where the numerator is a unit of mass and the denominator a unit of volume.

3.The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

4. An object will float if the gravitational (downward) force is less than the buoyancy (upward) force. So, in other words, an object will float if it weighs less than the amount of water it displaces. This explains why a rock will sink while a huge boat will float.
