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>

What color do glacier appear if they are moving towards us?
kirill [66]

Answer:

Subcategories: Ice field

Explanation:

Glacier ice is blue because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered. The longer the path light travels in ice, the more blue it appears.

Pot holder should have high insulation and low _____.
kipiarov [429]

Potholder should have high insulation and low conductivity, therefore the correct answer is the option B

<h3>What is insulation?</h3>

Insulation is a type of material used to create barriers to the transmission of the form of energy which either is in form of heat or electricity.

For outdoor trips in cold weather, several thin layers act as better insulating barriers for heat transfer.

The ability of an electric charge or heat to pass through a material is measured by its conductivity. A material is considered a conductor if it offers very little resistance to the flow of thermal or electric energy.

Thus, Potholders should be highly insulated and have low conductivity, therefore the correct answer is the option B

The force that probably propels the movement of the earth s gigantic rock plates is
il63 [147K]

The correct answer is:

c. convection.

The heating of magma and the continuous cycle of evolution of the magma creating a convection current is the reason for the evolution of Earths tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are ready to move because the Earth's lithosphere has higher strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density changes in the mantle appear in convection. Plate movement is believed to be driven by a succession of the motion of the seafloor apart from the extended ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust.

A 16 g piece of Styrofoam carries a net charge of -8.6 µC and floats above the center of a large horizontal sheet of plastic tha
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

the charge per unit area on the plastic sheet is - 3.23 x 10⁻⁷ C/m²

Explanation:

given information:

styrofoam mass, m = 16 g = 0.016 kg

net charge, q = - 8.6 μC

to calculate the charge per unit area on the plastic sheet, we can use the following equation:

F_{e} = mg

where

F_{e} = the force between the electric field

m = mass

g = gravitational force

F_{e} =qE

where

q = charge

E = electric field

and

E = σ/2ε₀

where

ε₀ = permitivity

thus

F_{e} =qE

mg = qσ/2ε₀

σ = (2mg ε₀)/q

  = 2 (0.016) (9.8)  (8.85 x 10⁻¹²)/( - 8.6 x 10⁻⁶)

  = - 3.23 x 10⁻⁷ C/m²
