Waves can and do meet boundaries in their medium. When a wave meets a boundary, it can be reflected or transmitted. ... Refraction occurs when a wave crosses a boundary from one medium to another. A wave entering a medium at an angle will change direction.

Which of the statements concerning light are true? The speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling throug
wel

Answer:

The statements that are true concerning light are the last three statements:

  • Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field.
  • It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum.
  • The speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Explanation:

<em>Light</em> is <em>electromagnetic waves.  </em>

The properties of the electromagnetic waves were established by James Clerk Maxwell.

They included that they are the result of the oscillation of a <em>magnetic field </em>in phase with an <em>electric field</em> which are always is always <em>perpendicular</em> to each other.

Also, the electromagnetic waves propagate at right-angles to the direction of both the magnetic and the electric field,  meaning that they are a type of transverse wave.

Thus, the second statement (<em>"Its propagation direction is parallel to both the electric field and the magnetic field"</em>) is false, and the fourth statement ("Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field") is true.

On the other hand, it is a postulate of the special theory of relativity that the speed of light is a constant (absolute value) in vacuum: nothing can travel faster than what light travels in vacuum. Thus, the fifth statement, <em>"It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum"</em> is true.

About the speed of light in matter, it is always less than the speed of light in vacuum. Thus, the first statement, "<em>the speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling through</em>", and the third statement "<em>the speed of light in matter is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum"</em> are false; while the last statement, "<em>the speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum</em>" is true.

The explanation on why the speed of light is less in a medium than in vacuum is related with the fact that at nanoscopic level the waves suffer polarization which means deviations from the straighi path, which makes that the net straight propagation is slower.

The Mars Curiosity rover was required to land on the surface of Mars with a velocity of 1 m/s. Given the mass of the landing veh
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The value is      A   = 39315 \  m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The velocity which the rover is suppose to land with is  v  =  1 \ m/s

    The  mass of the rover and the parachute is  m  =  2270 \ kg

     The  drag coefficient is  C__{D}}  =  0.5

      The atmospheric density of Earth  is  \rho =  1.2 \  kg/m^3

     The acceleration due to gravity in Mars is  g_m  =  3.689 \  m/s^2

     

Generally the Mars  atmosphere density is mathematically represented as

          \rho_m  =  0.71 *  \rho

=>        \rho_m  =  0.71 *  1.2

=>        \rho_m  = 0.852 \  kg/m^3

Generally the drag force on the rover and the parachute  is mathematically represented as

          F__{D}} =  m  *  g_{m}

=>       F__{D}} =  2270   *  3.689  

=>       F__{D}} =  8374 \ N  

Gnerally this drag force is mathematically represented as

         F__{D}} =   C__{D}} *  A *  \frac{\rho_m * v^2 }{2}

Here A is the frontal area

So  

         A   =  \frac{2 *  F__D }{ C__D}  *  \rho_m  * v^2   }

=>       A   =  \frac{2 * 8374 }{ 0.5 *  0.852    *  1 ^2   }

=>       A   = 39315 \  m^2

What is the weight of an object with a mass of 6.0 kg on Earth?
gregori [183]
<h2>since weight is measured in newtons, convert the 6 kg to newtons</h2><h3>the formula to convert is kg x 9.807 = N</h3>
  • 6 x 9.807
  • = 58.842 N

hope that helps :))

Higher mass protostars enter the main sequence: at the same rate, but at a higher luminosity and temperature. slower and at a lo
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

<em>faster and at a higher luminosity and temperature.</em>

Explanation:

A protostar looks like a star but its core is not yet hot enough for fusion to take place. The luminosity comes exclusively from the heating of the protostar as it contracts. Protostars are usually surrounded by dust, which blocks the light that they emit, so they are difficult to observe in the visible spectrum.

A protostar becomes a main sequence star when its core temperature exceeds 10 million K. This is the temperature needed for hydrogen fusion to operate efficiently.

Stars above about 200 solar masses (Higher mass) generate power so furiously that gravity cannot contain their internal pressure. These stars blow themselves apart and do not exist for long if at all. A protostar with less than 0.08 solar masses never reaches the 10 million K temperature needed for efficient hydrogen fusion. These result in “failed stars” called brown dwarfs which radiate mainly in the infrared and look deep red in color. They are very dim and difficult to detect, but there might be many of them, and in fact they might outnumber other stars in the universe.

That is why higher mass protostars enter the main sequence at a <em>faster and at a higher luminosity and temperature.</em>
