Answer:
The light bends away from the normal
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using Snell's law:
where:
is the index of refraction of the first medium
is the index of refraction of the second medium
is the angle of incidence (angle between the incoming ray and the normal to the interface)
is the angle of refraction (angle between the outcoming ray and the normal to the interface)
We can rearrange the equation as
In this problem, light travels from an optically denser medium to an optically rarer medium, so
Therefore, the term is greater than 1, so
which means that the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence, and so the light will bend away from the normal.
The forces of gravity between two objects are smaller when the objects are farther apart.
Answer:
The answer to the questions is;
In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)
The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4
Explanation:
For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point
When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound
The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ
Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4
