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.

Oxana [17]

Answer:Electromagnetic force, like all forces, is measured in Newtons. Electrostatic forces are described by Coulomb’s law, and both electric and magnetic forces are covered by the Lorentz force law. However, Maxwell’s four equations provide the most detailed description of electromagnetism.

A plane is flying 2400 miles from a to
geniusboy [140]
From a to b speed is 600+40 = 640
from b to a speed is 600-40 = 560

let t be the number of hours of flight. This would mean it would have traveled a distance of 640 miles and the distance yet to travel is 2400-640t
Time left will be (2400-640t)/640. But if they were to return to a it would fly 640t miles at 560mph which will take (640t/560) hrs

(2400-640t) / 640 = 640t / 560
560(2400 - 640t) = 640t x 640
t = 1.75hrs
