The question is poor. Light doesn't refract on its way THROUGH anything. It refracts at the boundary BETWEEN two different media. The effect is greatest where the ratio of the speeds of light in the two media is greatest. On your list, that would be at the boundary between air or space and glass.
Answer and Explanation:
You don't have water because of two possible reasons:
- Because of the summer and the little rain, the underwater supply goes low.
- The slope in the hill you live makes the underground water goes down by the effect of gravity. Imagine the underground water like a small tank, when the water is reduced for any reason the bottom of the tank will have the remaining water, while the top part will be "empty".
Answer: THE ANSWER IS C!
The total energy of a system can decrease only if energy leaves the system.
Explanation: Apex!
Answer:
The electric potential at the surface of a charged conductor<u> is always such that the potential is zero at all points inside the conductor.</u>
Explanation:
Each point on the surface of a balanced charged conductor has the same electrical potential.
The surface on any charged conductor in electrostatic equilibrium is an equipotential surface. Since the electric field is equal to zero inside the conductor, the electric potential at any point inside and on the surface is equivalent to its value.
I don't like the wording of any of the choices on the list.
SONAR generates a short pulse of sound, like a 'peep' or a 'ping',
focused in one direction. If there's a solid object in that direction,
then some of the sound that hits it gets reflected back, toward the
source. The source listens to hear if any of the sound that it sent
out returns to it. If it hears its own 'ping' come back, it measures
the time it took for the sound to go out and come back. That tells
the SONAR equipment that there IS a solid object in that direction,
and also HOW FAR away it is.
RADAR works exactly the same way, except RADAR uses radio waves.
