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

Ber [7]3 years ago

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 1-kg rock is suspended from the tip of a horizontal meterstick at the 0-cm mark so that the meterstick barely balances like a
tigry1 [53]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass if the rock, m = 1 kg

It is  suspended from the tip of a horizontal meter stick at the 0-cm mark so that the meter stick barely balances like a seesaw when its fulcrum is at the 12.5-cm mark.

We need to find the mass of the meter stick. The force acting by the stone is

F = 1 × 9.8 = 9.8 N

Let W be the weight of the meter stick. If the net torque is zero on the stick then the stick does not move and it remains in equilibrium condition. So, taking torque about the pivot.

9.8\times 12.5=W\times (50-12.5)\\\\W=\dfrac{9.8\times 12.5}{37.5}

W = 3.266 N

The mass of the meters stick is :

m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{3.266}{9.81}\\\\m=0.333\ kg

So, the mass of the meter stick is 0.333 kg.

A 530-g squirrel with a surface area of 935 cm2 falls from a 4.4-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the
Agata [3.3K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of squirrel,m=530 g=\frac{530}{1000}=0.530 kg

1kg=1000 g

Area=A=935 cm^2=935\times 10^{-4} m^2

1 cm^2=10^{-4} m^2

Height,h=4.4 m

C=1

\rho=1.21 kg/m^3

Width of rectangular prism,b=11.6 cm=\frac{11.6}{100}=0.116 m

1 m=100 cm

Length,l=23.2 cm=0.232 m

Area=l\times b=0.116\times 0.232=0.0269 m^2

Terminal velocity,v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho CA}}

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Using the formula

v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.530\times 9.8}{1.21\times 1\times 0.0269}}

v_t=17.86 m/s

The velocity of person,v=\sqrt{2gh}

Using the formula

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 4.4}

v=9.29 m/s
