The speed of light is determined by the medium (material) through which the light is travelling. Light travels faster in a vacuum than it does in any other medium. Light changes speed as it passes from one medium to another. This is called refraction.

How much work is accomplished when a force of 250 N pushes a box across the floor for a distance of 50 meters?
mote1985 [20]
We use the work formula to solve for the unknown in the problem. The formula for work is expressed as the product of the net force and the distance traveled by the object. We were given both the force and the distance so we can solve work directly.

Work = 250 N x 50 m = 12500 J

Thus, the answer is C.

As the wave interacts with a wall, which kind of wave interaction is shown?
kow [346]
 The answer would be a reflection. This is because, t<span>he color of an object is actually the wavelengths of the light reflected while all other wavelengths are absorbed. Color, in this case, refers to the different wavelengths of light in the </span>visible light spectrum<span>perceived by our eyes. The physical and chemical composition of matter determines which wavelength (or color) is reflected.</span>
