Answer:

c) The wavelength decreases but the frequency remains the same.

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

<u>The frequency of the light does not change but the wavelength of the light changes with change in the speed.</u>

c = frequency × Wavelength

Frequency is constant,

The formula can be written as:

n = λ / λn.

Where,  

λn is the wavelength in the medium

λ is the wavelength in vacuum

<u>When the light travels to glass, it speed slows down and also the wavelength decreases as both are directly proportional. There will be no effect on frequency.</u>

Collaborative learning activities:__________.
blagie [28]

Answer:

Options A, B as well as C are the correct choices.

Explanation:

  • Collaborative learning seems to be a circumstance where learning is an educational approach as well as make an effort to understand all this together.
  • Except for personal learning, people participating in this learning draw mostly on competencies and qualifications of each other.

This form of learning isn't always linked to the perhaps one given choice. And the response to the above will still be the appropriate one.

A 790N person runs up a flight of 40 stairs (.25m for each step) in 20 seconds, and then down 10 steps in 5 seconds. How much to
Romashka [77]

A person runs up 40 stairs and then come down 10 steps

So total stairs upwards is given as

N = 40 - 10 = 30

now here we will have total height reached

H = N\times h

H = 30 \times 0.25 = 7.5 m

Now total energy used or mechanical work done is

W = mgH

W = 790 \times 7.5 = 5925 J

Now the mechanical power is given as

P = \frac{W}{t}

P = \frac{5925}{20+ 5} = 237 W

If you ride your bike at an average speed of 2 km/h and need to travel a total distance of 20 km, how long will it take you to r
love history [14]

Answer:

Time taken to reach your destination will be 10hours

Explanation:

Recall the formula for Speed;

speed=Total distance/Total time taken

Speed=2km/h

Total distance=20km

Time taken=x

let x be the unknown time taken

Input each values into the formula;

2=20/x

Making x subject of the equation

x=20/2

x=10

Total time taken =10hours.

Why can you still see<br>the Moon during an<br>eclipse?​
love history [14]
During a total lunar eclipse, Earth completely blocks direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The only light reflected from the lunar surface has been refracted by Earth's atmosphere. ... Due to this reddish color, a totally eclipsed Moon is sometimes called a blood moon.

A cannon, located 60.0 m from the base of a vertical 25.0-m-tall cliff, shoots a 15-kg shell at 43.0° above the horizontal towar
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

25.2 m

Explanation:

The horizontal distance traveled s = v × t×cosθ    and t = s / (v×cos θ)

The vertical distance traveled h = v × t ×sin θ - 1/2 × g × t^2

Substituting for t,  h = s×tan θ- 1/2 × g × s^2 / (v cos θ)^2

Now, Solve for v^2   and get v^2 = g × s^2 ÷ [2 ×cos^2θ × (s×tan θ - h)]

And v^2 = 9.8×3600 / [2×0.535×(60×0.933 - 25] =1065    and v = 32.6 m/s

As a check from the first equation t = 60 / (32.6×0.731) = 2.52 sec

Horizontal distance traveled s = 32.6×cos 43°×2.52 =60 m

Height reached 2×g×h = (v×sin43°)^2    

⇒and h = 25.2 m  (using 2×g×h =v×y ^2)

Since maximum height is reached at the edge of the cliff the projectile

will not travel beyond the cliff
