What is the difference in light that is refracted compared to light that is reflected? Think in terms of speed of light as well

as what happens to light waves when they interact with a medium.
Physics
1 answer:
Ber [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The refracted light wave is bent at an angle while the reflected light wave is bounced back either at 90° or at angle less than 180°.

The refracted light wave changes its speed when it moves from one medium to another based on the density of the medium.

The reflected light does not change its speed once it contacts another medium. It just bounces back with the same speed.

A mobile starts with a speed of 250m / s and begins to decelerate at a rate of 3m / s². How fast is it after 45s?
Korvikt [17]

\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \purple{Given}}}}}

  • Speed of the mobile = 250 m/s
  • It starts decelerating at a rate of 3 m/s²
  • Time travelled = 45s

\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \bf{ \green{To \: find}}}}}

  • Velocity of mobile after 45 seconds

\large{ \underline{ \underline{ \red{ \bf{Now, \: What \: to \: do?}}}}}

We can solve the above question using the three equations of motion which are:-

  • v = u + at
  • s = ut + 1/2 at²
  • v² = u² + 2as

So, Here a is acceleration of the body, u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, t is the time taken and s is the displacement of the body.

\large{ \bf{ \underline{ \underline{ \orange{Solution:}}}}}

We are provided with,

  • u = 250 m/s
  • a = -3 m/s²
  • t = 45 s

By using 1st equation of motion,

⇛ v = u + at

⇛ v = 250 + (-3)45

⇛ v = 250 - 135 m/s

⇛ v = 115 m/s

✤ <u>Final</u><u> </u><u>velocity</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>mobile</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>1</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>/</u><u>s</u>

What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL
lozanna [386]

Answer:

\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy </u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}

Substituting:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{\frac{2*8600}{5700}}

Calculating:

\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{3.0175}

\boxed{\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m}

Estimate the wavelength of electrons that have been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 60 kV.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 2.068*10^{-14}m

Explanation: According to work energy-theorem , the workdone in accelerating the electron equals the energy it would give off in terms of light.

workdone= qV

energy = hc/λ

q=magnitude of an electronic charge= 1.602*10^{-16}

h= planck constant = 6.626*10^{-34}

c= speed of light =2.998* 10^{8}

v= potential difference= 6*10^{4}

λ= wavelength=unknown

by making λ subject of formulae we have that

λ= \frac{hc}{qv}

λ = 6.626*10^{-34} * 2.998* 10^{8} / 1.602*10^{-16} * 6*10^{4}

λ = \frac{19.878*10^{-26} }{9.612*10^{-12} }

by doing the necessary calculations, we have that

λ = 2.068*10^{-14}m

A 500N car is pulled up to 20m plant to a flat from 5m above the ground by an effort of 150N parallel to the plank what is the V
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

<h3>4</h3>

Explanation:

VR = Velocity ratio = Distance moved by effort/Distance moved by load

Given:

Distance moved by effort = 20m

Distance moved by Load = 5m

VR = 20/5

VR = 4

Hence the velocity ratio of the car is 4
